Started posting my first semester of law school when it was 22.

I turn 40 this year.
 
Don’t remember which board I started in. I think ACCboards (that’s the first I remember), but could have been an iteration before that.

Started posting in 95 or 96 in high school, I think first as PalmettoDeac (there’s another one now). Changed to IaT in 2002/2003.

I'm sure I'm missing some.

When did Rancho de Nada peter out, because I think I was after that. I know for a fact that I was on the boards on 9/11, so I'm guessing I came on board around 2000, maybe 1999.

The 9/11 thread was archived for a long time and it was crazy to go back and read what were real-time reactions to what was happening.
 
I lurked on Scout but didn’t post until y’all started OGB.

Where in the Wake internet timeline was TDDD?

That wasn't a message board. Well, maybe my private message board to blare out to whoever would listen. It covered the 97 and 98 seasons, so Summer 96 to, I dunno, Summer 98.
 
Started posting when I was a sophomore in high school (2002). Pretty sure my first name was WFSDeac for my high school then I switched to timdunk.
 
Wasn't there also YASPWU or something like that? It stood for "Yet Another" something Wake something.

I remember the last story was Wake losing in the NIT to a Xavier team coached by some guy named Skip Prosser.
 
I migrated over here from the Rulz board.

Yes, YAWSPU stood for "Yet Another Wake Sports Page (Unofficial)". This was from a gent whose AOL handle was Ballen03. H/t to you if you're out there. DeacMan had a page as well, I think he almost exclusively covered recruiting, or at least that was a heavy focus. Right around 2000ish those pages ended when Rancho started and Wake Forest created an official page in earnest. I'm not drawing a cause and effect there, that's just my recollection of events.
 
I started lurking in the fall of 99, posting around the spring of 2000. Pepbandguy was one of my roommates and I think he introduced me.

Not sure if it is legit or bullshit, but your story of how IaT came about is an all time classic.
 
rancho was gone by early 1999 - i remember being in DC on an extended project and it was early that year when I first started posting and it was on accboards. i was pretty proud of posting the CJ Leak scoop when he committed around then. my last scoop of any kind
