    It is always fun around here when a popular person comes to the Rockets
    and we get flooded with ___OnlyFans flooding the site

    I always have breaking info before anyone else. Everytime they ask where I heard it from I say ughh... this place Clutchfans, yada yada. Finally people stopped asking.

    It just doesn't compute really. How did you hear Michael Jackson died? Uh... Houston Rockets fan site. What?

    But what do you do if somebody wants an non-alcoholic beer?

    If I bring it up to people who are unfamiliar with CF, I'll just say the "Rockets message board I post at."

    I talk about it all the time to the point where my wife finally joined. She's posted once I think. I still call it Clutch City though. I can't say Clutch Fans.

    My whole family posts on here. I get pissed when people start heated debates with my granny and Uncle Jesse.

    I've mentioned it to a few people but have never really gotten anyone hooked. I can say that only 4 to 5 of my friends are actually regular readers/posters. My girlfriend reads it all the time now because of me though... Not because she's curious about Rockets news, but more because she wants to see why I'm so obsessed with it.

    A lot my friends in college are on clutchfans, but then again we were (still are!) all die hard rockets fans.

    Couple of us moved out of state for jobs/grad school, but we always link each other online streams of rockets games, and somehow GARM is always mentioned.

    Cf.net like any internet message board, is an internet message board. Funny to me that you guys act like this place is special or any different than any other mesage board that has been around and survived a few years.

    Must be boring to just be talking about coffee and then all of a sudden you slip a "ClutchFans!" in that brewed brown goodness talk and it turns everyone's frowns upside down. :cool:

    I talk about it with friends quite often. One of them joined a while back but got banned for acting like a tool. My soon to be wife (again) finally joined not too long ago after hearing me talk about it so often. She lurks daily but posts every once in a while. Mak Attack is her name on the bbs.

    it happens but rarely well my roommate knows about it and he mentions it.

    in fact he says he lurks here now (not registered though)

    this is what happened last sunday:

    I am sitting watching the Rockets vs OKC game

    his new gf comes out to say bye and she goes oh what game you watching? are you a fan of either team?

    and he goes (all excited) OH MAN! He is THE Rockets fan check this out.... my roommate goes and shows her the Court of Dreams piece I have and some of the other Rockets merchandise thats in the living room.

    then he goes and tells her "Man you should check out Clutchfans.com ....no Clutchfans.net and find The Yoyo he's the one with like all the green stars!!"


    1 quizzical look from the girl later I realize she'll probably wont talk to me again other than maybe his and byes

    I just need to make sure he doesnt talk to any girl I may be interested in about this site until after a few months of going out

    Riiight. Way to dig yourself in a hole.

    There are so many various topics from the Rockets, Texans to whatever. Plus, there are a lot of great posters which makes this forum special.

    Btw, I bring up CF a lot. I think the hangout has a lot of cool threads that people enjoy. For example, the picture thread is just epic!

    I disagree. Many other forums have all those stupid avatars and over 100,000 members. This forum is simple and more personal I beleive, and people on here have a different bond then I have seen on other forums.

    For example, even the GM of the Rockets follows DD on Twitter, that itsself is pretty neat. And the fact that stories here live on for years is something I havent seen either.

    Oh well just my opinion.
