The Batman Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 20 years this September. Remember it was when I was about to start my second year of uni. That's a lot of otib-ing. Nowhere near the level of posting of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah!…….that makes sense. My profile also say October 2003 as well but it seems longer than that. There have been several upgrades to otib over the years and I’d forgotten that we had to re-register all those years ago so I’m the same as you Nogbad - 20+ years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmNick Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 I joined at the start of August 08, second year of uni I think. I'd been reading for a couple of years before that. From memory it was the Meteb saga that prompted me to finally sign up - "yessir" in a taxi in Cairo... I'm sure a few people remember that! It was Pete Johnson apparently. Crazy little saga in retrospect, but we were all on a high (ish) after the previous year. That was a fun period to be a city fan, and on the forum. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toblerone Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 I've been here since January 2012 and supporting City since 1965. I rarely post these days, modern football simply doesn't have the appeal that the game once had. Even the antics from Horfield aren't as funny as they used to be.

We could only dream of having a chisel and had to use pieces of (Aiden) flint to carve our OTIB posts in rock when we lived in the gutter outside of the cave. Good to see the spirit of MPFC is alive and well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 I go back to Rivals, @Olé's excellent Netcentre, Adabilladaturfup, Ziderheads, Rivals, especially Two View, and I think the earliest was a CityRovers board on a BT address. Oh and if course the great day when Ian someone proudly launched the official Rovers forum and it was absolutely inundated with people having a laugh because he failed to put any controls in place, "Dennis Bergkamp" was a prominent first day poster. He became totally wound up by what had happened to his forum and posted "You stupid, stupid people". Hilarious This is a great forum but this, and the internet generally, had more joyful silliness back in the 90s, and I don't remember any trolls, WUMs, or relentlessly negative posters. Though that could be just because there were fewer of us so you sort of knew everyone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 29th of May 2013. So my OTIB birthday is coming up shortly, what you all getting me? Also it’s a bit depressing realising I was 20 when I joined… time goes too quickly, now I’m freaking out. What a lovely thread, cheers.

Davefevs Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Just shy of 9 years, lurked for a year. Yeah, yeah, I post a lot…but 19 a day isn’t that bad is it? I enjoy OTIB. Thanks everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkhamred Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Joined August 2010 but lurked before. Think there was some restrictions put on at that point if you were not a member. Not posted much but have learnt a lot about our club and football in general from our knowledgeable posters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
