Memories

[tin-top fan]

Looks like i'm the first to post in this section of the new forums then. Looks all nice shiny and new at the moment, I wonder how long that will last...........but what was your best memory of the old forum? What post or thread is it that sticks mostly in your mind?

[martinbalmer]

I remember making my original first post. It was quite scary... A few years on and this will be my new first post. Not scary at all... :p

[Daniel]

My favourite memories were of all the forum crashes and slowdowns. Don't ask me why but they just were :p :cool:

[Mark_temp]

Not of the times when the forum was working but you were just banned? :p

[pino]

How Good is your Geografic thread 1, started by me in 2003 :D

[Daniel]

Not of the times when the forum was working but you were just banned? :p

You mean the times I was banned for actually doing something wrong or the times when......... :p

[pino]

btw I've brought my old cool signature back to celebrate the new forum :p :

That sig is older than the forum itself!

I remember it from days gone by...

[neophyte]

I was very saddened when I read about Speedbump passing. A great guy indeed.

My biggest happy memory?........can't pinpoint one.....it is always fun to come in here. Otherwise I just wouldn't

[millencolin]

the fact that the 'what are you listening to?' thread lasted for so long...

[Powered by Cosworth]

Naa, the football thread lasting for so many generations!

Not that I posted in it, but it was fun to watch growww

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I had so many memories and I only joined in August this year!!
Lets hope all the other members find us.

I've got something in my eye........

[quicksilver]

The first time I was on the forum during a WRC event, getting live updates and news on what was happening, never had that before, used to just be a case of check the standings at the end of the day! :cool:

[lilmelvschilton]

i can remeber my new first post lol

[Donney]

I think it was Monte rally thread in 2004 having the opportunity to talk about the rally and having live updates was a real pleasure for me.

[viper_man]

Ive got a few good memories, the football thread, the constant political arguing, and the racing to the 'banned' thread as soon as a spammer appeared!

[lilmelvschilton]

awwwwwww
how come we have a new forum anyway?

[Captain VXR]

Because it is better now.
My favourite memory was a pm from a certain team boss telling me his BTCC plans for 2007. They are still top secret and nobody has even speculated it so far. :p :

I'm guessing the same as all the other teams, win!

[Captain VXR]

No, what car he wanted to use.

[schmenke]

...What post or thread is it that sticks mostly in your mind?

"Scrunch or fold?"

Quality stuff :up:

[Mp3 Astra]

The whole word games forum is one big memory :D . DonnieDarco seems to have made herself head of that forum and always makes you feel welcome (unless you steal her last word then you're in trouble ;) ).

Also, my first post makes me laugh. It was in the touring car forum and I posted some news that was about a month old telling everyone that Honda had an Integra for the BTCC :o

[J4MIE]

The first FKM, that was brilliant :up:

[Azumanga Davo]

What we really need is oily oaf telling us all of his adventures of arriving at this new fangled dot forum.

Now THAT will be worth remembering... :D

[Sleeper]

Any thread started by Oily.

[CarlMetro]

"Scrunch or fold?"

Quality stuff :up:

You beat me to it :up:

I remember that days when we had two 'rival' bars that ended up with the two proprietors getting together in real life :D (all together now........Ahhh!) and the virtual fight thread started by Adrian J :laugh:

[oldhippie]

Quality stuff :up:

[Ian McC]

James Thompsons hair :D

Worthy of a return ;)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I had a few good times in the old pub. I remember punching Madcat. :cheese:

It is quite adult in the new forum so far, wonder how long before we need to bring back 'The Bin'

[Iain]

You beat me to it :up:

Who could forget when the evil Health Inspector ordered one of them to close? :p

The threads "Forum Road Rally" and the original "Anyone For Oulton?" are my favourites of all time. :)

[millencolin]

another good one... a thread thats started about the WIll Power Sebastien Bourdais Incident which quickly morphed into a thread about Australian beer.... how? i dont know... it just did....

[RaceFanStan]

As I stroll down Memory Lane I can't help but remember Fred Bassett.
We sometimes battled intensely at 1st but in the end we became good friends.
When I think of the old forum I have to think of Fred & the good times.

There were also others that contributed their part to the old forum.
I think of them, the fun we had & the interesting stories they would share.

I remember threads & posts but for me it is about the people that posted them.

Well, it did look nice and shiny but over the last few days I've noticed a bit of Scrunch or Folding creeping in and there seems to be a few Bogie's stuck at various corners of the Forum. In fact, I think one has fallen out onto my Laptop. Yuk!

Most memorable thread and something that was a great laugh for me was Team Knock-on. However, we sold out (making great profit in the process) to Team Y-man who ran it into the ground, stripped the assets and plundered the goodwill.

A man after my old heart :up:

[Mark]

What about the scan your cuddly toy thread :p

[555-04Q2]

I remember arguing with a lot of people in the old F1 Forum. I have decided to turn over a new leaf with the new forum and try and be nice to people :)

But dont push me, or you may meet with my Dark Side Again <the Force is strong with this one> :D

[martinbalmer]

The first FKM, that was brilliant :up:

Yes, the glory days of good grass-roots British motor racing.. :D

ps: Maybe add a note to keep January 12th 2008 clear ;) :p :

Well, nice to know you're sorry. Who knows, Schumacher may apologise next :p : ;)

I remember that...after all I am yet to be paid for my testing duties :rolleyes:

Apart from that of course the Geo and Footie threads (and especially the World Cup and Euro 04) threads. :up:
Also the 'post a recipe' thread was great....always good fun to read pino murdering the Queen's English ;)

Have a word with Bagwan. I think he's got all the leftover Champange.

[race aficionado]

:username: was a classic of classics.
the best part is that I figured it out soon enough and was not busy that day so I was able to see the whole process develope during the day and see all the different reactions. We had the whole variety.

I have many cool memories, so many cool threads and yes, team Knock-on is a classic.


:s mokin:

[Ian McC]

The exchange between Owy and a_r_c_a in the Touring Cars forum, a_r_c_a always made me laugh with the rubbish he posted! :D

[Storm]

a_r_c_a was fun !!

[Daniel]

Yes. He was fun. Ignorant as hell but fun too :up:
