pl00peh91 Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Must say I don’t know Richard Forrester’s background but given he’s only been in the job a week, that really is an excellent article and a step up from Gregor in my view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Started off on @Olé‘s excellent bristolcitynet/netcentre years ago before joining OTIB as @RegC Sad to admit but OTIB is the first place I look at every morning, before I check out the less important news and what’s going on in the world. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Been around since '98 or so. Its a very well run and managed forum, one of the best out there, made the better with (mainly) quality input from members. The polar opposite of that closed shop purporting to be a forum north of the river, with the outdated software, the over moderation, and the ill informed content input by the same posters. This forum is light years away from that garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read plenty of other Championship clubs forums or ‘message boards’ and this one is miles ahead of all the ones I’ve visited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr X Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 OTIB must be one of the only forums without clickbait and pop up ads that keep appearing all the time. Congrats to all the admin team on a great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty C Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Congratulations to OTIB for 25 years and a massive thanks to TomF and all the mods for all you have done, and continue to do. This forum really is a massive part of many peoples lives, and it keeps a lot of us who are away from the area in touch with the club and all things City related. I moved to the Bournemouth area in the 80's when I was a teenager, and now I only get to a few games a season due to other commitments like my kids playing youth football etc, so this forum makes me feel like I am part of the fanbase! Personally, I have been lurking and reading the forum for 20 odd years, so I have enjoyed plenty of great and interesting posters over the years (and I've also enjoyed a few posters that seem to really annoy most of you )......Here's to another 25 years of OTIB! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) I think what makes the forum interesting is the wide range of styles / personalities / behaviour of the various contributors. From the sublime to the ridiculous; from the sensible to the lunatic fringe; from the analytical to the masters of awful puns; from the ITK to the I know diddly squat but I don’t care. Everyone is welcome, even the few sensible fellows from tent city in Horfield Edited January 14, 2022 by pongo88 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) I can only echo those who’ve expressed what a truly magnificent forum this is. Also delighted to have one of my threads feature as one of the highlighted ones in that excellent article. I imagine a certain poster is slightly less delighted! There are too many of you to name who I’d Gladly have a pint with.

Lew-T Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Been on here around 12 years or so, it’s mental to think I’ve spent that time on a forum chatting to complete strangers, but City fans of course!

Guest Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Wow really, just read this on "Bristol Live" quite a few posters including our own TomF and Ole and others get a mention as do a few Classic Threads. Reading through a few, certainly brings back memories, interesting info on its developments over the years also. Sadly some older posters are not with us anymore and many have changed names, but its good to get things and views of your chest and have a moan and groan. "One of the best around" it certainly is...three cheers for OTIB heres to the next 25yrs Edited January 30, 2022 by gl2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
