My expert research team came up with this one. Back in early 1998, a young chip collector was looking at creating a message board. This message board was to focus on what really interested this chip collector. Several good ideas come to his mind, and he finally decided to go with the obvious winner: The Chip Broad. Yes, this message board was to feature news, information and pictures of broads. An unfortunate typographical error resulted in The Chip Broad being registered and created as The Chip Board (as we know it today). Too bad, so sad. Today is the only day I can post this highly enlightening information.
