Each way just couldn't cope as he was not the sharpest tool in the box, all that Blackfriars bridge nonsense when he looked like he couldn't fight his way out of a soggy paper bag. Eachy peachy and ThementallyUnstableDrHuxleypig or whatever his name was had a right set to about who was the better looking
 That was comedy gold. Bert had the biggest meltdown I've ever seen on here. He complete lost the plot and became extremely spiteful and vitriolic which was rather distasteful. |

Biggest meltdown was the forum war when Tennis Forum conquered Chit Chat i think
The Chit Chat generals had easily taken over the Golf Forum but made the fatal mistake of invading Tennis during The French Open |

what year tober did the tennis forum invasion occur ?
|
|
By:
Would have been May/June 2009
The idea was Chit Chatters would go to another forum and began chit chat type threads about favourite crisps and stuff .The first page of the Golf Forum was entirely taken up by that sort of thing . Then they moved on to tennis ; think about 20 threads were started but suddenly chit chat was swamped by threads about fixed matches and WTA chokers. Eventually someone from tennis simultaneously began about 300 threads and wiped CC out , but a chit chatter took out about 20 pages of Tennis forum with the same nuclear tactic . Apocalyptic scens . Bans were handed out which brought peace. There were other wars around that time : The Horse Racing Forum actually surrendered to the Big Brother Forum. |

Nobody has mention Fish night.
Back on the old forum v1.0 there was a meltdown with a fish related topic starting every 10 seconds. On the old forum when a thread dropped out of the top 50 it was gone for good (I think that's where Thread Rescue Services started, "Because nobody should start a topic without a reply"). Threads lasted 10 minutes that night. There were many bans but I must admit it was one of the funniest ever. O/T but another good night was phoning late night radio shows and getting the presenters to say the words Chit Chat. I think someone got George Galloway to say it iirc. |

By:
Each way , what a legend, comedy gold those late nights were just wall to wall banter.
Lendusafiver was good value also. Been some great wind-ups and melt downs over the years, good times |
