We still talked shite, mind. I still had a backup of it until a few years ago. It runs on cgi/perl with a flat text file database and sadly too much of a headache to keep online anymore. The first incarnation of that board started in July 1997 so we should do something for then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 It is without doubt one of the best and busiest out there, virtually all the opposing fans that come on here mention it. And of course, we aren`t as insecure as some clubs that ban users as soon as they suspect they don`t toe the party line so as to stifle serious debate.

To be fair they could say the same about here. I know certain individuals from that group have a real issue about this place. I'm still none the wiser myself and do not want the two places to be them or us type situation. There is a place on the net for both, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'll stop posting and get back to operating on the seriously ill child I started working on the moment I get my food vouchers. God only knows how long that child has been sedated for now, but I'm sure they didn't have a beard when they were wheeled in to operating theatre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 There are definitely a large number off strange people on the forum, but they are a better class of strange people compared to other sites. There is also a wide range of insults, ranging from the downright rude to the subtle and clever. We have the ITK ers who know they know and we know they know; those who know they know but we don't believe they know; those who think they know but don't know; those who know they don't know but want us to think they do. But, the one thing that makes the forum interesting is the title of another thread - "Threads going off topic". Just as a thread is about to die, there is an inspired post that sends it off somewhere obscure and gives it life again.To summarise, so long and thanks for all the fish.

Just so you know, I'm not in the know, never have been in the know and don't pretend to be in the know. Now that you know that, does this mean that you are in the know, that you're not in the know or that you want to be in the know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED4LIFE Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I think this forum (or any forum for that matter) is only as good as the users that post on it, and we have had some bloody good ones on here both past and present. I do miss the likes of Malone, Faustus and Red Goblin though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thread about something like legroom in the Dolman will end up with people reminiscing about some random night match in Colchester fifteen years ago.
