Patches OHoolahan 0 Posted May 11, 2014 Just wondering which current posters were around for the "big bang" so to speak. Without checking join dates I would imagine Wiz (and his subsequent reincarnations), Morty, Zippers Left Foot, Nutty Nigel, Til 1010, Lappinitup and Jimmy Smith have all been around for a good while. Haven''t seen the likes of City Angel, Cluck, Smudger or Bly on here for a long time (admittedly my interest in this board fluctuates so they could well still post, perhaps using a different moniker).

morty 0 Posted May 11, 2014 Smudger was banned countless times, Old Bly hasn''t been seen in a while, I think a few people have tried to contact him, without luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 662 Posted May 11, 2014 Been on here a while myself. August 2003 is my join date but I''m sure there was a very basic pinkun message board before this time which I used to post on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barclay seats 4849 the 3rd 0 Posted May 11, 2014 I have only been posting since 07/08 maybe ,,, but I am on my 3rd incarnation due to the website refusing to recognise password contact details etc . How have you lot all survived 10 yrs ??Or maybe some one doesn''t like me ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted May 11, 2014 Alex is right - this current version is a newbie, I was on the old one for a few months before this started with I was very much the novice. Not sure how long that had been running before the mid life crisis change happened.The likes of gazzathegreat and the still posting voice of reason that is tumbleweed and are a couple of others.

Mr Angry 1,555 Posted May 11, 2014 I remember a message board that always changed Hamilton (as in Bryan) to Hamitlon, was that an early incarnation of this one or was it a different one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,511 Posted May 11, 2014 I remember a few versions over the years, but like many I read every day and post not very often as you can see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Splendid Rush 2 Posted May 11, 2014 Christ, has it been nearly 11 years already? I don''t post that much but dread to think how many times I''ve logged in over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonzey 0 Posted May 11, 2014 I''ve served more than 10 years! April 2004. Tbh I''m not a regular poster and generally scan the threads. But this is my favourite Internet forum.I have to say there''s way more petty point scoring and threads going off topic than there used to be. I do wish certain posters would keep these things in PMs as it has caused the forum to go down hill. But as Morty mentioned I remember the days when the mods had to approve posts. What all ball ache of a job that must have been! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Poirot 1 Posted May 11, 2014 I joined when the pinkun forum was green and Bryan Hamilton was manager, way back in about 2000. I had to rejoin in 2004, presumably as I had lost my log in details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,385 Posted May 11, 2014 A scary thought...................3 promotions and 3 relegation''s since my first log on.Interesting times indeed.[:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blainsey 2 Posted May 11, 2014 Not many prior to me Patches. I used to post a fair bit on the old message board before the ''big bang'' so to speak. I remember XXXXL used to be on there all the time but I''ve not heard much from him recently. Every thread seems to descend into arguing or abuse.... I read the message board almost every day, I just don''t often respond to posts. Nice to see a few of the ''class of 2003'' still writing in here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 936 Posted May 11, 2014 Been on here since April 2004. This season has been almost a carbon copy of the 2004/5 season. Same problems, same arguments, same outcome.Depressing that in the space of just 10 years we forgot all the lessons we learned then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,379 Posted May 11, 2014 Anyone else posting on this thread in order to see your little avatar thingy so you can see how long you''ve been here?Just me?I''m gonna guess 2006-ish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
