Cmt Sports Forum History:
Introduction:
What do you know about Cmt Sports Forum's past? Here are some of the questions I will answer, when did Cmt Sports Forum begin? Who named Cmt Sports Forum? Who made Cmt Sports Forum's banner? Who made the very first skin on the forum? Why was Cmt Sports Forum made? What lead up to Cmt Sports Forum forming?
The Story:
This story goes way back to UpperDeckKids time, UpperDeckKids was a community of sports fans all over the United States, and Canada, which was ran by Upper Deck. I joined UpperDeckKids on 08/30/08, just because I happen to see an ad about the place on a baseball card. After I joined, things were rocky at first, with all the great legends of the day still coming on, people like O-Kid, JT, Rich, PJ22, MaddenRQ, SoccerStud10, bosox46, SteakNChop, hockeycardfan44, corwo, twuenscher, 2736, 2091401, Richflysoxs, Ireland11, Sean, Pacers, jordanpars, BSG30, TheLuTimebombs, jad1washere, bbarbour24, Cody, lost24, kbritt97, Lester31, twinsSamuelson, Legobuilder12, kmarchal10, numberten, brezy, Nascar, and so many more names, I would go insane trying to list them. Well, newbs were exactly welcome at UDK at the time. UDK didn't moderate posts very well either, all though they did moderate them at least. It wasn't very welcoming, and I was keen to quit in like October, then, I changed my mind, I started to retire in December then I changed my mind. In November, I found out about a forum called "Dmorgias." It was an amazing ProBoards forum, although I never even bothered to log in when I registered. Anyways, I kind of didn't bother with anything besides UDK, I remember going on UDK everyday after school, and posting for an hour. I was pretty much addicted to UpperDeckKids. Well, then in March, I heard about TheTwinsSamuelson's forum, luckily, I was able to find the place, although, I was never active there, till months later. A few weeks went by, and I found out about CBuzz Sports Forum, CBuzz has been trying to get people to join from UDK for weeks, and I couldn't figure out how to get to the place, eventually, I figured it out, and I was there. I joined CBuzz's in either March or April, I really don't remember. I joined, and the top 2 posters were the 2 owners, CBuzz, and Spenc5315. Both of them had around 1,000 posts when I joined, and in a few days, I became the top poster. CBuzz eventually made me staff a Moderator, and then, Spenc5315 deleted his account. He didn't even say goodbye. Spenc5315 ran the site store, and was an admin, CBuzz let me take his place. I turned the site store into an amazing one, if I do say so myself. Then, the forum was spammed like crazy by And1 & Dave. They were advertising a forum called SportsCenter. About a week later, CBuzz Sports Forum, was attacked, and everything was deleted, for some odd reason, CBuzz had Dave a Global Moderator, Dave had very few posts even. After that, the forum was really just a webpage with a chatbox on it, because everyone hadalso been banned, and guests were allowed to post in the chat box. Keep in mind, this wasn't a Chatango chat box, it was a very crappy one. Everyone freaked out, including me. The forum was eventually fixed, but all the posts and everything was gone. We had to start over. CBuzz eventually met Xi0n, who became an admin and helped this forum so much, Xi0n also invited a few friends, including one person that became my best friend on the forum, David. David was a real nice guy. Eventually, CBuzz became paranoid, and I was really the "Favored" admin, people like Yanks preferred me over CBuzz. Well, CBuzz was driving me insane, telling me what to do and what not, where to post all the time at, etc. I got tired of it, not to mention he lied alot, and I caught him doing it. He was sickening...Then, CBuzz Sports Forum was completely deleted, do to the fact of a group of people, including, Crosby(Ryan) posting pornography on the forum, and just spamming the place. It was around the ending of July 2009, when this happened. Actually, it was only a few days away from the day this place formed, and CBuzz, and I were in constent communication talking over things on ProBoards Support, CBuzz's forum was restored on July 29, the day I started this place, it was in the morning, and I decided, even though all was well, I made my own forum. When I made it, I had no idea what to do, and I had open another page, and it was CBuzz's chat box making the noise, we had a Chatango chat box now is why, then, David and Katie were chatting. I posted asking for their help. They were so willing to help, I think they were sick of CBuzz too. David made the first skin, including the menu icons, I made the boards, rules, and everything, I added the chat box, and the ESPN Bottomline. We all did loads of different things, Katie's biggest accomplishment to help this forum though, was the making of Cmt Sports Forum's banner. She made it herself, and she really is the one who named the place Cmt Sports Forum, because I wasn't sure what to name it. In the forum's first week, there was over 900 posts, and around 20 members. Then, the place died, I became very desperate with the forum, CBuzz was steaming mad at me, I definitley wasn't going back there. I sort of went with the flow, and hoped for the best, then, Joey made his own forum, and he told me about Era doing all these amazing things for his forum, I saw it, and I looked in disbelief. Era was on CBuzz's too back in the day, and remained there for a very long time. Era was in for the task, he made this place amazing, just like Xi0n did for CBuzz Sports Forum. I started advertising alot, advertising anywhere allowed, trying to advertise on UDK too. Then, the best time I probably advertised in an Advertising Board, it was because Civil saw the advertisement and joined up. After that, Civil eventually became Admin very fast, he was a great post. Civil was a truly thoughtful person in general, every single time I talked about needing something, he was there to try and help. I remember talking about everyone wanting to be staff, and I said I didn't have enough positions and everything for everyone, he offered to "Resign if I needed it." I mean, who else would say that? That's like the true legacy of CivilWarBuff right there. Great person he is. Well, Civil, Era, and I, were the perfect tag team, we were the 3 admins. Yanks, who I mentioned earlier, left CBuzz Sports Forum, and came here. He became the forum's original Global Moderator. Cmt Sports Forum started improving, but still only an average forum, I started advertising on Chatango a few hours a day. Then, the UpperDeckU crew came in. I got Padre to join from Upper Deck's main forum, then we advertised like crazy. We got some great members during then, including, of course, Padre, Phirby, SuperMan, Ozzie, Yankee, and many others. Cmt Sports Forum turned into the best sports forums on ProBoards, and it has been going strong ever since.
Closure:
Cmt Sports Forum is now the #1 sports forum on ProBoards. It makes me quite proud to say so. We plan to be open for a long time. Hopefully, we can buy our own .com domain, and figure everything out, and then have SportsTimes.com, but, while we're on ProBoards, let's embrace ProBoards. Thank you to everyone who has meant something to this forum. I would be nothing without you guys. You guys are the reason this forum is still running, otherwise I probably would've shut the place down months ago.
Thank you.
