Tom NCFC 0 Posted January 12, 2007 All these years ago when the Pinkun forum started, who was the first generation of posters? I''ve only know the forum for a year and a half and just thought we needed to post something not about the transfer window Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djc 0 Posted January 12, 2007 This could become an excellent posting for discussion. It could be almost like tracing a family tree.It was probably someone, way back in the day, called "Trainee wizard" (or something) who wanted to rant and rave about a Norwich Youth player called Dion Dublin, who wasnt good enough too wear the youth team shirt and should be released from his pre-YTS contract.Or that they had heard about a Sunderland player called Alan Brown who had been spotted going out on public transport during an evening on some drunken child-conceiving night with his polaroid camera and air-rifle.Or that they were wanting to express their views and opinions of Sheffield Wednesday''s veteran left-back, Nigel Worthington, saying how they have admired the player''s ability and professionalism, and how he could one day make the grade from player to manager.......

alex_ncfc 662 Posted January 12, 2007 Speaking of posters, in the last 24 hours an amazing number of new posters with 1 or 2 posts are coming out of the woodwork....just curious as it seems a bit odd? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Raven 276 Posted January 12, 2007 Only for the present version of this messageboard Kathy. But this forum has had several incarnations and sadly the database from the late 90s no longer exists so we''ll never know who the first ever poster was. Probably me or Vince testing...

Pete Raven 276 Posted January 12, 2007 He only posted when he was a lazy student. Saw him a few months ago and he now has a proper job so can no longer while away the hours on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Raven 276 Posted January 12, 2007 This version of the board started in 2003 but there were several other versions before it. Think the site, and it''s first messageboard ''Fanzone'' started in 1999/2000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Archie 0 Posted January 12, 2007 Think this is the third version of the board that I have been on, the first one seemed to have only about 25 regular posters. Foghorn stands out in my memory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Monkey 52 Posted January 12, 2007 [quote user="Web Team - Pete"]He only posted when he was a lazy student. Saw him a few months ago and he now has a proper job so can no longer while away the hours on here.[/quote]I remember him, didn''t he use some people on these boards to help with his disstertation? Mind, it was all a lot more pleasant then... Jesus, could you imagine if he tried it now... [;)]It''s funny though, I did most of my posting whilst in employment, to ease the boredom. Now I''m a lazy student I''ve actually posted a lot less, maybe it''s because I''m now always busy? Or maybe it''s because much of it is just the same old shit over and over... probably a little from column A, a little from column B... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YankeeCanary 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Ah! How nice to see your name again DD. Now do you see what a single-minded, lazy student you were ( as per my past ramblings ).....you have been absent for a significant period time but are still the #2 ranked poster in volume on this forum.
