Saw someone post yesterday with 1 Jan 00 joined date. Can't remember who or which forum though.
|

By:
Thta was some sort of glitch i think someone explained before, there were a few with that join date.
The forum began in June 2000 , there were 1 or 2 who still posted with that date a few years back Possibly as many as 90% of the members who were here in 2011 have gone , so 2000 join dates must be thin on the ground |

Foinavon has a joining date from 00, not sure what month though

Betfair started in June 2000. There was an earlier exchange called Flutter which wasn't as successful and was later taken over by Betfair.

I'm way behind the oldest on here but 13 and a half years not bad...........
|

By:
Johnny Walker (if he is still on here) is the oldest. He must have joined pretty much the same day the forum started. Unfortunately I missed the first few months - would be great to see a screenshot of the forum with one thread

I think Stretch was an early forumite.

I'm sure there was a Forum on Flutter.
I remember a big Big Brother discussion vividly |
|
By:
Yes, I remember the big white rabbit on Flutter
|
|
By:
Ian Davies I think was behind Flutter, he used to post on here but not seen him around lately. Gamble was also on the Flutter boards.

____________________ gone where ? surely you wouldn't close the account ? maybe they no longer post as much |

By:
Checking wiki, the 1st series of Big Brother (Nasty Nick, etc) was the summer of 2000
and it captivated the nation. I remember massive fierce debates about it, on the Flutter Forum (or it may have been this one) |
|
By:
Ricky Lake was also fluttering about, and was one of the guys chosen to try out Betfair.
Maybe he will be tempted to post to confirm. Come on Ricky lad |

There are places I remember all my life
Though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments Of gambles and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I loved them all  |

On Flutter, the system even allowed you to try and goad people into accepting your bets. You could offer up some odds on a bet, and enter some remark along the lines of 'There's no way Arsenal/Man Utd/Chelsea etc can win this game' to try and bait backers.
I seem to recall offering over the odds on Lleyton Hewitt to win Wimbledon in 2001 and various easily-upset (presumably) Aussies taking them (and getting mullered). A good thing Flutter disappeared before Wimbledon 2002. |

Can't remember the early days but I do remember fish night when the forum went into meltdown. 10 threads a minute were started on fish related subjects, I started one or 2 myself but it was the serial posters, and there were a few of them, that got banned. Lasted for about 3 hours, carnage in the morning.
Also remember picking a local radio station every week and phoning in trying to get the presenter to say Bet Fair or Chit Chat. I think George Galloway fell for one prank. |

Do you know if Punterz still posts under a different username on any of the boards? He was comical, always threatening folks. |
|
By:
Can't say I do, Pokermonster, sounds like it could be a lot of people who've used multiple names.
Is it you?  |
|
By:
God, no, he definitely wasn't me, sir. Punterz came across as a horrible person, it just seemed amazing that he never seemed to get banned from the forum.
He used to pay folks to play poker under his account name to rack up the bonuses. |
