Once upon a time, in a land far, far away ( which some call Illinois) there lived a man who loved sports so much he spent almost all of his free time searching the internet for ways to interact with others of his kind.  One day, in deep despair of ever finding one place to share his love of sports, he was visited by the FairygodTy who asked for his help in testing a site dedicated to what he loved most...sports.  So began a journey of testing a site not yet public, helping work out the kinks, offering advise, giving help, anticipating going public and finding his one place on the internet to connect with all who share his sporty love.  Through all the changes, seen and unseen, through all the tests of time, through all the comings and goings of others who helped in the creation of this wonderous place called FanIQ, he stayed, he helped, he created polls, he answered questions, he motivated, he cheered, (he even commented in the Locker Room), he scored polls, made friends and did what he loved best...particitpated with other fans in all the sports he loves.  He never left, he never took a "break" he just stayed and kept doing what FairygodTy first asked of him, to share his love of sports. Why?  Just because he loves doing it.  In a large way all who post here have him to thank for the friends you have made and the love you have for this site.

So, on this momentous day, take a little time and wish an important member of this site a Happy Birthday :)
