Memories of Posters

FreedomBear is a good shout. Also Mellanby who played a vital part in harry_x's work of art.

There was a rumour and even a published press report he had died but I don't think he has. I enjoyed Alan Kings rants. One of a very few who didn't hide behind anonymity
I remember there was a lot of confusion at one point as some definitely thought he'd passed away, and didn't he seem to go under the radar for quite a while?

Great poster back in the day.
 
The right honourable member and his crazy bets were always entertaining. In all his usernames
Still here, kid 👍

From the past,Kingy was the main man on here, he may possibly still be on, not sure. He hadn't passed away, it was false information.

Borodavey was one from the racing threads that disappeared and also remember Degsy piping up on occasions. I also exposed Bessemer and the Trader guy who were never sighted again.

One thing that should be barred from this board is any mention of the Boro. That has got to be the most boring subjects in existence. One week Warnock is great, the next he is terrible. This player is great, then he's terrible. It's all very tedious. Never seek the opinion of a football fan - that's one of the golden rules. Even if the Boro did get promoted they'd only get relegated again. It's all pretty pointless really. People merely use it as a distraction from reality. Same with a lot of things.

An expert on reality now. ?:)Nice to see you back
"One thing that should be barred from this board is any mention of the Boro." SmallTown is listening loud and clear

If I recall Bessemer posted all his bets for a month and made a profit I don't think you exposed anything.
 
Back in the day, it was a case that more often than not, a thread would be derailed along comedic lines. That usually happened because of a spelling mistake or an unintended pun. I was as guilty as anyone of being part of that behaviour.
These days, the same happens, but it's more likely that a thread will go down a political rabbit hole regardless of how it started out.
Sign of the times and changing lifestyles no doubt, but the board could definitely do with an injection of the sort of posting that Comfy, Ponce, Lisbon, specky and even captain5 and his Volvo shtick used to bring.

Only a halwit from Lecester would think that...
 
I always had a suspicion I knew Briggsy really well. Never followed it up. The anonymous nature of the board works well, but I have delved into detail som
Briggsy wasn't anonymous though; he was a regular faller overer at 7 a side. Last saw him in 2016 away at Bletchley. Think he was living in the West Midlands
 
Some of the threads from the old board were comic genius.

8 dart finish
Wasps nest
Anyone lost a rabbit

It's a shame that the old board is now gone forever as having a read through those threads and some of the posters who contributed would be a very good tonic right now.
Why was it all deleted?
