Red Exile Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Great article - and great to see that the thread started by my late - and cheerfully subversive - brother on the supporters club and GJ makes the cut as amongst our finest!

Curr Avon Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Congratulations OTIB for 25 years of great entertainment and long may it continue. Many thanks to Tom F and Clik for all your fantastic hard work and support. Not forgetting the great efforts of the tireless moderators who are sometimes driven to distraction by passionate posters, including yours truly. We"re blessed to have this forum which unites us in our love of Bristol City. Keep the faith. Keep supporting OTIB. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick jones of hereford Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Although I’ve only posted in the last few years, I’ve enjoyed reading fans views for almost two decades. Moreover I’ve read the forum not just every day, but several times a day. From me, a huge thank you to those of you who run the forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Only been here since July 2015, but had been reading a while…I thought you had to pay to sign up, but found out you didn’t (I subsequently did pay though). 40k posts later…need to get a life! But the £5 p.a. Is the best fiver I spend each year. Here’s to another 25 years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 I read the forum regularly for years before I began posting in 2015. I absolutely love it. Thanks to all those people who help it to run so smoothly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 From a technical level we've been spolit over the years. It's a fine forum, you only need to visit some of those of other clubs to see how tidy it is. It's the posters and the content that make it a great forum of course but those technical qualities just make it so much easier and user friendly. So a big shout out to our man @TomF and the Mod/Admin team for keeping her ship shape and Bristol fashion all this time. It's honestly my most visited website everyday for years and years now. Long may it continue. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 I’ve never heard of this incident where a fan was dragged in by Gary Johnson! I’m assuming said fan was so chastised he stopped posting nonsense from that point on…. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the one I first posted on as pointed out. I obviously signed up to otib around that time - the late 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 This has made me realise just how much of my life has been taken up trawling through the various insight or drivel posted on these pages over many many years.

Nickybee Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Yes, Happy Birthday OTIB. As others have said, I too am on here several times a day - I find it entertaining, informative and funny (I often laugh out loud at some of the posts) and for me that combination is pretty much perfect and for just £5/year is excellent value. The Matchday threads alone that have been started by various people over the years that keep ‘exiled’ people like me hitting the refresh button constantly is worth that on its own. Massive thanks from me to all those involved in the administration and operation of the Forum - and of course to all the posters that keep the content & comments coming. Please let’s keep it up & here’s to the next 25 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
