Do you reckon we still have any lurkers?

[Offshore Toon]

Well there is still a high chance that these are aliases.
True, but with that mindset we could all be aliases. You shouldn't question a good thing.

Is it like pitchsidemanager and everyone has their own team? I would be up for some of that or a network game on although I'm not very good at it.

I don't understand this Giggles guy because when I read the thread I thought him, Smiffy and SummSuccess were the same person but then I read about Harold Bishop and Wedge being him. It all got a bit confusing to be perfectly honest and I'm still none the wiser except all of them seemed to go all Chris Crocker.
Nah, just go on www.haxball.com and have a look. Its good fun.

Giggles and Smiffy are 'real'. Well, Smiffy definitely is, where as Giggles has been around for a long time but we know very little about his personal circumstances so I couldn't say for sure. summsuccess feels like a genuine new poster/lurker, but as with Giggles you can't be 100% certain. Harold Bishop is a banned member (got banned for spam/annoying people/being right-wing) that creates aliases quite often. So much has happened with Wedge and I'm probably not in the best position to explain since the most exciting stuff happened when I wasn't around. Basically, he came on the scene with a story about the Albanian mafia, but it was fake. Still, everybody loved it. Then at some stage he phoned the house of one of the admins and shit really started to kick off. He was basically a long-time lurker that also had it in for certain people. He popped up infrequently on Teh Refuge (http://w11.zetaboards.com/The_Refuge_Redux/index/) (a back-up forum that Harold Bishop is running riot on at the moment) to give his opinion on stuff but he hasn't been heard of for a while. Given the nature of his posting/lurking whenever a new member pops up you have to consider that it could be him. In that sense, he's left his mark on the board in quite an incredible way.

The Christmas tweet and he one the other day came from me :)
If you fancy giving me the details I'll try to fire out a few tweets now and then.

[Adamski]

Is there anyone actually replying to Harold over there? Who would use it rather than use here?

[Offshore Toon]

Me and Lewis take it in turns to check up on him.

[John]

If it turns out Offy is trying to explain the Wedge story to Wedge. :drool:

That's an awful lot to take in. I just clicked the link and went into Dwizzy's room. It's just two circles chasing each other around? Similar to Air Hockey Tables which were never any good for my fingers.

Where is the best place to start reading with those members mentioned above? I take it Harold Bishop is the reason new members are thought to be him then?

[phonics]

Someone reposted the whole Wedge story on another forum when we were bertie big bollocks. Can't find it now though.

[John]

Harold aliases are generally spotted very quickly, because he can't help but post a youtube video of Milo Yiannopoulos being a div or his username will be something overtly racist.

Wedge kept up a whole fake life, including nicking pictures from some guy's social media, for about a decade, so if he decided to sign up as a new member and just post as if he was a normal human it would likely only be an IP balls up or something that would catch him out.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've always thought we never got to the bottom of it with Wedge, master criminal that he is. He'll have been posting here as someone else for years probably, bumping us off gradually, like And Then There Were None.

You can go up to 3 or 4 a side, though, and its much more fun.

There isn't really anywhere, to be honest. We had to move a couple (was it a couple?) years ago, so its mostly lost in the sand of time as the old board is dead.

I've just tried to look on Teh Refuge forum but you can't view it as a guest. You won't catch me being racist I can assure you.

It would appear that that could be much closer to the truth than you probably meant it to as this thread has mentioned numerous members going missing. It's all harmless 'fun' though, right?

I assume everyone gets a circle each and you're not controlling them all yourself? I was aware of the old forum but only through playing Football Manager and the bit about the former owner posted in this thread. It's nice that you have all remained together for so long.

That was an absolutely brilliant read. I can see why people are afraid of that Wedge if he's involved with the Mafia now. Do you think he did make it up or was he being legit? What was he like before all that?

Although if it is the same person it must be an incredible ball ache to put so much effort into the difference in posting styles and use of grammar.

Ohh. You lot do actually think I'm that success guy too? I thought that was dquincy with his success comment. No one talks to him so he talks to himself.

In fact I've read this thread from start to finish and the only people who side with summsuccess is Offshore Toon and Dquincy. It's a guessing game, isn't it?

I rumbled El Glaspero by matching eighteen months worth of his TTH IPs with what Wedge used on TR, and bought myself about three years of doing nothing.

[Jimmy Floyd]

IIRC, Wedge was a clever bastard until he occasionally got lazy.

His 'Toby' account was a good wheeze though. Shame he retired it.

[Lewis]

Nota Bene was the best alias, insisting he was a Swiss polymath right until the death.

[Abelxaviersdodgyhairdo]

Can I have my name back please.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Nota Bene was the best alias, insisting he was a Swiss polymath right until the death.

Didn't dela and he get into some proper erudite discussions and/or start playing chess?

Or did Nota Bene get invited onto the Secret Forum (Proper, Serious Discussion)? This memory must come from somewhere.

[7om]

TTH should have an 'Alias Day' where we all create a fake account and spend the day trying to guess each other's identities.

[Abelxaviersdodgyhairdo]

Why have me and summsuccess had our names switched around? I don't own a gym and he seems like a right horrible sted head.

It was thelastnightintown (who was sound until you came within ten miles of real life, when he shat himself and became abusive). He flounced off over something or other (I think it stemmed from the FM sections turning on him when he became a moderator and was a bit of a dickhead with it), but then came back as Nota Bene, and got rumbled by fucking Ledley of all people; but IJ told us all to keep quiet about it because this was at the height of the mainsite delusion, and he had threatened to flounce off again and take his CONTENT with him.

Thanks whoever did that. If it's too long then I don't mind changing it to something shorter but I do like it.

LNIT went radge as he got caught cheating in the FM forums. I backed him up as he had some issues but there was no coming back from it.

The Reid recently "lurked" cos me and mike were talking about the latest dugout goings-on and he's unhappy at the anticlimax. Here is a brief message from him:

Eyar! Can someone give us a bullet point summary of what's happened? I read a load of it but there wasn't really an ending. It's like a really bad drama but I missed the finale.

Things I know:
Smiffy and giggles don't get on
Smiffys an absolute weirdo

Who was sumsuccess?
Was Abel Xavier Harold?
And why is Harold banned?
And most importantly what did smiffy do to make giggles paranoid? :poke: He ignored Baz's PM.

Other than that, good read. 7/10. Would read the sequel.

[Nom de Guerre]

On Smiffy's idea of a mainsite, it's not only that no one here could be arsed to create content, but that no fucker outside of this place would probably bother reading it.

The only interesting thing we could have done was have Guido Twitch stream a game, explaining what he was doing to be so damn good at it. But despite repeatedly asking him to do so, he refused and still doesn't do it on his own site, presumably because he cheats.

Hi :) I have written about it and streamed before, you just missed it. Streaming is not my cup of tea by the way, FM is dreadfully boring to watch when someone else is playing. I'll go back to lurking once every month or so. Just stumbled across this and figured I'd reply.

[Abelxaviersdodgyhairdo]

No I'm not Harold, Magic. I just saw Baz say that my count was unbanned on the forum he talks to himself on.

I did email a few weeks ago but I got no response. I'm guessing I only got unbanned because it's quiet around here.

[bruhnaldo]

I wouldn't say this place was bitter. It doesn't tolerate the easily offended or the particularly dense very well, but then that has been the case (probably) since well before the days of Henry wishing death on people. Basically, you need a thick skin, a back bone and non-floppy wrist to get by.

Hi bruhnaldo

Hello.

[bruhnaldo]

My impression of Giggles is that he won't even bother to fuck his own wife, let alone somebody else's.

i laughed way too hard at this


your Twitter account suddenly popped up on my feed after months of silence and this time I had to see what was happening.

Yesssssssssssssss i did it, i recruited one person! :drool:


Who is in charge of the Twitter account? You need to start using as many trending hashtags as possible to lure people in.

It was me but i lost the password as you can see here:


It's not very good as the initial recruitment drive appeared to stop after a day.


Another great day of football, are you out at the grounds? Shoot us some pics!

Going on a bit of a follow spree to get us started here on the ol' blue bird. We're looking for all sorts of football fans, don't be shy! ��

That can't be anyone from here surely.
