A list of posters from a 2003 thread

I miss old Clarky9.

Good old Dobbo still 'ere

His cat's birthday I think it was.

How did you get that list anyway? (you must have a database the CIA would be proud of) or a photographic memory canny

ROCKIN HORSE

It was a how old are you thread, for some reason I jotted down the ages. Don't have a database. I think Study' does.

Fru T Bun was on quite recently. I said hello stranger, and he said he only pops in now and then.

I could be wrong about Nash, although I think I saw him on footy not so long since.

I could be mistaking Fru T Bun for a real old timer, Sica Dan, who has hust posted on my Corry thread.

Foinavon's always a delight to see on the rare occasions he drops by.

This is the only internet forum I have read or posted on. In the beginning it had a unique charm.There were many interesting and lively debates/anecdotes/surreal stories. It has lost its appeal for me but I dont know whether that is because I now find it a bit old hat or if it really is a bit old hat.It has changed or I have changed or the people that were interesting have drifted away.Whatever the reason logging on to it  now is almost a chore.Its boring.

As a 2003 May arrival ( Harry Cripps ) I think its a Law of Diminishing Returns.

Betfairs fecking meddling recently and only 40 threads appearring mean that Guys are NOT going to trawl thru' previous pages if the Topic is not in front of them and as more disappear its less interesting for the remainder etc..

Blimey, I thought you were trying to keep that secret Harry.

Congrats on your promotion. Richly desreved after several near misses.

yeah it's gash. The recent forum downgrade has been the killer. Fair play to them for apologising, but they've not fixed the worse problems, and it's too late - if only they'd listened to the dismay with with which it was received.

I'm gonna keep posting, for the time being at least.

their are no festering feuds or vicious spats on here anymore,have you noticed,lol

somw,no prbs...I can either answer or I dont fire away m8

I remember pretty much all of those posters and this place has definitely changed a lot especially recently with the revamped forum having made a lot of regulars disappear, to its detriment I would add.
Steady was a great chap, I knew him well from the racing forum and he was a regular poster and extremely knowledgable about sports betting. He is a professional golfer who lived not that far from me when I lived in Hertfordshire, haven't seen him post for ages though.
Gogoidle still posts every now and then.
Clarky9 was on horse racing the other day.
Cashless still posts, horse and greyhound racing usually.
Clarky is Clarkson now, pops in occasionally but nowhere near as much as before, top banana.
I remember Nashwan well, he was a prolific poster but has disappeared without trace. He posted the first ever thread in chit chat when the original rolling forum was departmentalised around 2001 ish I think, " What is your favourite toothpaste"?
Find the rag was a good guy but was liable to lose the plot on occasions, pretty sure he got a lifetime ban.
Paulbadpunter has been missing in action for years like most of the others. You have to think that losing money is the root cause of many disappearences, not many people actually win on here in the long term. I'm about £50K down myself over the years and quite a few people I know have put gambloc on their computers out of necessity.

Paul TadHunter was instrumental in making me join the forum after reading about his 'Hunchcat of Notre Damme' on one of TGM's quizzes one night.
He was one of the best posters on here and does occasionally still post, but it's a rare occurrence now.
He's very much missed.

He was last seen on Superbowl night on one of Clarky's threads, which should still be on here somewhere.

I'm still here..............i think.
