I remember iBankingOasis back before we had certified users, and before we had the current theme and logo. 3 years, 20 weeks since I joined...wow.

GoodBreadI actually started a thread over three years ago when I was still in college and got absolutely murdered for it. It looks like a rancid attempt at trolling now but I honestly had no clue back then. I gave it some time and signed back up a year and a half ago.

Can you post the link to the thread. I feel like it would be cool to see how we dealt with accused trolls all those years ago.

monty09i remember the site was mentioned in the wsj along with bankers ball in early 2006.... i been on here almost 4 years... time does fly...

funny but i am pretty active and have a lot of wso "moments"

Interesting that BankersBall seems to have fizzled and died, along with a lot of the other online wall street communities of the 2006-2007 era. Only DealBreaker and WSO have stood the test of time.

Ha,

Apart from the lack of monkey shit and posters who I have never heard of, nothing has really changed....good to know. On second thought, let your balls drop...maybe we were a little more vicious.
