Almost two years ago, Section 5 Basketball officially closed a small message board on its Web site.

So a small group of die-hard local sports fans - including myself - created a forum site, so that local sports fans can talk about their sport of choice. That site was named Section 5 Talksback.

The hits grew and grew and the registered members kept coming. The site hit a milestone this morning as member No. 2,000 registered. 

That member is local, using the screen name leroyfootball00.

Local sports fans know that The Batavian and Talksback are the only two real sources to get the in-depth information you won't get by traditional media, like television stations and the newspaper.

Talksback is also having a big contest where local fans can win a free pizza party.  So local fans should get their video camera out and show how good local basketball cheering sections are.
