Barrs Court Red Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Sadly, Iām well over 20 years at this point. Ā I know thereās a couple of ogās that have been here for slightly longer.Ā Considering itās just words in a screen, this forum has had itās influential moments - It played its part in āOpening the East Endā, discontent at a terrible badge change in the naughties and stopping one of the worst football shirts Iāve ever seen around the same period (it was the collar). Obviously other social media channels have risen in prominence, and now āengagementā metrics on the main players are probably Ā the most important metric for clubs media teams. At its height, we had dedicated sub forums, including āAsk SLā. Ā I canāt imagine a club chairman engaging with fans on a forum these days, certainly at a professional club.Ā This obviously isnāt the only show in town, the Rivals Network was comedy gold for a long time, especially the **pop** era with QPR, Swindon and Plymouth.Ā Ā Ā 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 On a more serious note, joined 2010, started really posting summer 2016. Apparently Iām on just over 9000 posts in those 8 years so topping out at 3-4 posts a day. I think Iād call that a āmanageable addictionāā¦ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_b Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 27th October 2003.Ā But with only 800ish posts, itās a low engagement from me. Ā However the longevity does mean I player in the fans forum game at QEH when Twentyman refereed it. Ā I think from the OLD forum, I also got to do a co-comms on some midweek reserve game at Ashton Gate with Adam Baker. Back when, for some reason, the club did audio of the stiffs online. Was around the time of the awful 02-03 yellow away shirt launching and it was in the shop that day.Ā Ā I was incredibly hungover after a midweek night at The Works and everything about the day was a hazy blur.Ā 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 This account dates back to September 2013, but I was posting on here under a different user name as far back as the 2003-04 season. I can remember the meltdown on here as we collapsed dramatically from four points clear at the top to playoff final losers. I also had an account on the rivals.net network from around 2001.
