20 years ago today I purchased the domain name Penaltybox.com.  Twenty years...  We still own that domain...

Congratulations Rick.

I remember websites back then...today we get annoyed when there's like a 5 second loading delay.

Congrats Rick.  Here's to today marking the beginning of yet another 20 years.

Down memory lane...

Twenty years is a long time.  Though I never got to know tmlfans' predecessor, I'll still say a hearty "Congrats!" to you Rick.

Where did the time go?  I joined PenaltyBox.com in the fall of 1997, the first internet message board I ever signed up for.  Oh, the novelty of it!  It was a lot more wild west around here back then, foul language, trolling, and bitter arguments were de rigueur.  It was a poor season for the Leafs, the bright spots being Tomas Kaberle's growth and Freddie Modin's goal-scoring burst.  And, of course Mats Sundin.  But that summer we'd sign Cujo and Stumpy and things turned around in a hurry.
