16 years lad. Half my fucking lifetime. Jaysus.
.....
I joined FmGamer in 2002. Then came to TTH during the merger, then back to FMG until it closed in about 2009. Then started on here again in 2012.
I remember using the website in what must have been 2000/2001 and would have registered on the old old forum (under a different name) before it was updated.
I got banned from FMG a couple of times for posting 'I AM IRON MAN' for 20 or so posts in a row, and then another time for being horrifically racist. Both out of boredom I think.
THE MERGER was a golden time, didn't your lot even have their own ghetto section outside of TTH? The Pub?
It must be over a decade since said merger. Dear lord.
"The Terrace"
:face:
.....
Luckily I wasn't around for that disaster. 2005-2007 I had no internet lol
.....
I was twelve when I signed up.
That is just utterly weird.
.....
The merger was the death of FMG. I don't really know what our MJS was doing because FMG had a great close-knit community thing going on at the time.
It was a lot like if another forum as big as TTH of old turned up one here and Phonics decided to shut up shop because we were going over there. Nobody was very happy about it.
After we went back, FMG rattled on for a couple more years in fairness but I stopped posting around 2008 and it disappeared entirely around 2009/10 I think.
I seriously miss Sandman and dela.
Me too.
.....
dela pops up remarkably often on my twitter feed considering I don't follow him.
The lolling we could have had at his expense these past eighteen months.
'Do you believe in fairness, mate?'
'Yes. Why?'
'*snigger*'
More recently I really miss Lee and Toby.
Throwback to when you had the arcade and could make your username colorful / flame-y...never knew why that got rid of that feature.
And points, don't forget the TD points.
The Arcade was good. By good, I mean shit, but it was good.
.....
Getting the Cypriot guy in the Graphics forum to do you a 500x200 signature with your username and favourite players on it.
I really was twelve.
Still irks me that I only ever met @DC post-TD.
I signed up during the merger but I don't remember if I came over from FMG or not. I just remember being a brainless idiot (still am lolol) and being jumped on pretty hard after every post. :drool:
In all honesty, TTH has probably shaped me more than school did. It exposed me to a whole host of shit I had no idea about. Shaped my politics and alot of my outlook in general. I dread to think who I'd have become withoout this gaff.
/gushing
.....
I don't remember any other boards than the last one. Must have signed up there.
2006 I think I was? I remember the your game thread from FM06 either way. Albeit I was nothing but a stalker, which hasn't changed much.
I signed up to whatever iteration of this shit was around just before CM4 came out.
I believe I posted under "Noodle" or "Manic" because I was really into Gorillaz and/or Manic Street Preachers (was also 12-13 years old).
I remember I got shit on a lot for being American and then also admitting that I used torrent to download Champ Man. Even though I had no job or nothing to purchase the game myself, let alone find it in America.
I don't remember a lot from back then other than playing some 2D soccer game where you'd start 3v3 but then when the other team scored you'd lose a player or some shit.
I remember thinking how weird it was some guy (I think literally Hull City Tiger or something was his s/n) would support such a small shit club (no offense anyone) when he could support someone big like Man United like me.
Then I remember Hull got promoted to the Prem however long ago that was and thinking about him like awww I hope that guy is so happy.
After that I used to just show up and do annoying "Look at me I'm an American!" bits under Bruhdihno on the old site.
I remember Apples and DJ Luca as well, top lads.
I wish I had stuck around and been more active in the community. It's weird to think I've somewhat posted on these things for almost a decade and a half and have no real memories with you lot to show for it other than making an ass out of myself all the time.
Anyways.

I remember turning up on this place at 13 or so and getting absolutely murdered despite having posted on several other forums so I thought I had this internet life on lockdown. Then everyone ignored me for years, to the point where I'd been posting for a solid 2 years and still not getting a WDYTOE entry and now everyone refers to me as running the gaff despite never putting a penny toward it :drool: #TheLife
The first forum I was ever part of is now a subreddit. That's a demise. So I count us as winning.
My introduction was text talk and I was immediately told to stop it without even a welcome. From that moment, I knew this was the place for me.
I know this is probably a joke, but just in case; piss around with anyone's real lives over something said here and you'll be immediately and permanently banned. Not on at all.
I think Mark was right into the idea of SI Affiliate status around that time so he'd have wanted anyone admitting to piracy shot at dawn.
Mark was alright, tbf. It was Brighton that was the cunt. Running a Dutch VHS porno store together and that.
.....
You haven't gotten over any of your issues, have you? Be honest.
.....
Ok well disappear somewhere else then. You offer less than dquincy.
Will you two just give it a fucking rest for a day. Ever since I've posted on here Smiff has gotten abuse, which to be honest was never on due to the issues he had in the past, and you've previous for it across both boards MJ. Problem being Smiff won't just turn the other cheek and it turns into a tedious wankfest everytime.
I've huge previous for it, and admit I crossed the line countless times, but holy shit you're adults.
.....
It's an internet forum, lads.
