From what I remember, Wullie pipped me to that ratings one; but only about three people knew who he was, so mine was from a much larger sample, and that made me the People's Champion (alternatively: National Treasure, and/or Working Class Hero).

What happened to Wullie?
Wullie was supposed to be the funniest poster around for a while, wasn't he? I wonder where it all went wrong.
He got blown up by diljeet.
Is diljeet the banana or the betting one? I can never remember.
The original 'group'. Ruination of the board.
EDIT: Haxball. Didn't realise there was a new page.
Wullie is on rllmuk, still a top geez.
I'll just roll them both into one in my memory and call it a day.
Wullie still posts on here.
Moar lists/banter.
I was 4th to last or something. Diljeet, JonWo, and some other randomers finished below me
JonWo, by the way, was phenomenal, and his demise was the most tragic of any TTH demise i can remember
What happened him? I presumed he was hounded out.
He got permabanned then went to the 'fuge for a bit to call people faggots.
I stand by what I said so.
He was an asshat. Or Mokbull.
JoJo or whatever he was called was better than JonWo.
I might write a list, but I generally like most of you, so it'd be really boring.
Most of you didn't get to see Managere but I think he was legitimately mentally handicapped. Every post was insane dribble.
I feel like I never really got to experience any of the total headcases (except me lol!!) because I got involved so late. Except that Angel saint bloke who just seemed like a wind up merchant rather than disabled. The lack of aggro compared to when I used to lurk is probably a good thing, but the drama was pretty funny at times. I saw snippets of the OLD-old-board (~2004??) and it just seemed like mental people shouting at each other.
Pre 2002 was an orgy of in jokes and obscure pop culture references. They must all be in their 40s now.
When did the place actually start, and is anyone still around from back then?
DS is the oldest survivor I think.
2001 for me. Started very late 99/early 00 iirc. Place was pure aggro a lot of the time around 03/04 as Mellin, R1 and a fair few others were essentially team fuckwit and you had the GR lot and a few others who were older hating us. There were legitimately great posters then but in general 80% of posters were utter dreck.
Hornet is still one of the best, he only made about 1500 posts or so and stopped after a few years Plus Challinor.
What the fuck is dreck?
I do say it a lot, but there's something brilliantly weird about this place. We're like the last few losers still talking on a newsgroup or a friends reunited page or something. I tried to explain it to an IRL friend - "er so it's like a football manager forum, except nobody really plays football manager anymore. it's been going for years, most people have been on here for 15 years or so" "when did you join?" "er, about 5 years ago" "why did you?" "....errrr..."
To be fair the second I see a positive Giggles post I know this place is dead
The old GR section used to puzzle me with all the nicknames, they seemed to have a blast though. When it was removed it was the first bit of Internet drama I remember too. Do they still have their own forum?

I probably have all the results for the rating out of ten thing (Member Vote Invitational Classic) if anyone’s that bothered. It’s somewhere along with all of my WDYTOE lists and everyone’s real namesand Donovan and Sincere’s addresses.
I'm a twit
I have less free time generally.
Makes sense. I'm the same with the 70k+ I'm driving a year now.
Some day
1,5 page in and we're already talking about the Good Old Days
Not one Chimp out. Someone write a snide post about Bruhnaldo, I’m sure he’s still lurking.
I registered in 01 I think, right at the end of the old board.
