Were the old AOL Women's Basketball boards back when AOL was big and the ESPN message board when ESPN would keep separate sport message boards. I guess that didn't work for the big sports, so they went to have discussions setups for the individual games, which is a stupid idea for sports like Women's Basketball. Also, the old usenet newsgroup rec.sports.basketball.women was a great spot online before those two.

The great thing about those boards were that they were neutral areas. After ESPN closed up their message boards, two others sprang up (RebKel which had been around, but was much smaller due to the popularity of the ESPN board and CollegeFans. The latter just ended up overrun with UConn fans who drowned out everyone else and just became a UConn echo chamber (HuskyNan and some of the regulars actually do a good job policing the Boneyard to keep it from getting that bad).
