Thanks! Apparently I joined the SBNation version in November 2008, which is probably when it got started. It was at least as exciting as the move to WFC. I had joined the earlier version in 2006 also.
It's great to see everyone. I do wonder, how many members did the older CGB have? And of the current membership, how many came from CGB (like me) and how many are new?
Thanks so much for hanging in there and continuing to support and nurture this Community. Still the best Cal site ever. GO BEARS!
A brief CGB History for those asking

I have these “Freudian” like moments e.g. I read older CGB members at first glance.
It would indeed be great if one of the OG's wrote up a bit of the history. Twist, you are up!
I can mention that I was with CGB before they joined SBNation. Not exactly sure when that transition happened, but I think it was well before 2012.
Me too, Hydrotech’s posts reeled me in
I was on the precursor to CGB SBN (blogspot?) briefly before it switched over in 2009?

I think I joined cgb around the time that sonny arrived at Cal. I don't think they offered pay subscriptions though.
CGB Premium mainly meant paying Twist for attorney services.
