Started posting in 2009, when I was 12. I probably started posting more in TTH a year after that or so.
Always felt a bit annoyed to be so out of step with everyone age wise - those 'peak university years' went over my barely pubescent head, while during my own peak university years all the action (apart from football) was in the Jobs, Relationship, House, and food threads. I think the recent vacuum exchange has been the culmination of that.
Twelve years old what a legend.
Fuck sake the MSN days. /
Good thing I’ve got The Group now.
Henry was some can of piss.
Still love the aesthetic of the old board.
It always flummoxes me that I probably only posted on it for a year or so (properly) before the merger, and yet those halcyon days seem to stretch to infinity in my mind.
Yeah, I think we've now been on this one longer than we were on the old old board.
2004 or 2005 here. Was a proper FM geek for a while writing up guides and stories and what not. I remember at the time there was a bit of a Divide between the FM sections and the murky depths of TTH. Not to mention benelux which was just fucking weird.
Anyway, must have been around 2006-07 where I properly started getting involved in TTH and never turned back.
This forum has meant so much to me over the years . Almost feel guilty for not posting more these days sometimes, you know like a friend you feel you should be getting in touch with more or something.
I think it was 2005. I'd been on another Championship Manager forum before that (off the bench, off the park? Something like that), and when that either closed down or became mostly inactive I looked for other options. Stopped looking at the actual CM/FM-related subforums soon after and been lurking on TTH ever since.
I thought thelastnightintown did become a mod in the end? Then he left for a while and came back as ‘Nota Bene’.
He did. The choice was between him and Maz, which Maz lost because IntergalacticNonce wanted another 'serious' moderator instead of one of the boys who would undermine Tudor.
That was Nick iirc.

Probably, yeah.
Remember Mark asked me to design the new website for him (I was shit at design at the time and had no clue what I was doing). Man did he take it seriously
And when IJ and him got to assigning mods I think they fancied themselves some sort of godfathers appointing their capos. Nutcases.
I had forgotten for a while that I actually met Tudor in Bucharest maybe in 2008. What a night that was.
I joined in 2006 and first ventured to TTH a year later when DS was about to meet a transsexual.
This place really has always been very good (for my purposes anyway) and even though I post rarely these days I still pop in to read stuff almost daily.
In my time as a mod I did nowt. Mainly because no drama ever kicked off the The Manager's Diary.
Had a brief stint as a mod in 2005 (lol). Had a row with Brighton, then opened a thread on him which went something like:
Beautiful
Real
Incredible
Great
Happy
Tremendous
Outstanding
Noble
Inspirational
Superb
Amazing
Courageous
Unbelievable
Notorious
Tantalising
Got fucked off and banned for 3 months
The glory days of Office subterfuge and secret forums, circa turn of the last decade or maybe just before, were incredible.
Was Harvey Danger, Wedge?
I'm a twit
"AD" account was registered in early 2011 but I can't remember when I signed up as "AnnoyingDevil". Presumably c. 2007 as I think I was 12/13 at the time.
Shame the old board went down the toilet. Memories.
I always thought the obsession with eyemouth was a bit odd, I mean who cares enough to warn/ban people over a smiley?
Did that actually happen? People getting warnings / bans for it?
It did.
Funny how post boosting was 1) considered important (?) 2) considered important enough to warn people if they did it.
It's still one of our 'House Rules', so hand in your badge if you aren't willing to enforce it.
I read the title of this thread in tune to "See You Again" by Khaled (it's been a loooooong time / at the dug-out tee em...).
Make of that what you will.
Was it the late days of the dugout or the start of this where we had ‘faggotgate’ where some Wolves fan left the board and Ital going on a banning rampage over the use of Iti?
zink and it was the previous board.
Zink, that’s it. Didn’t he have his own smiley?
That's a bit of a shit smiley.

:zink:
Yeah one of them should be black.
That one was :bamster: for a while was it not?
Was changed to :wedge: for a while? I think might have been : pardsrave : as well, but Lewis might remember better.
Is still the wrist slitting one?
Indeed it is.
On Teh Refuge the dancing man was (pardsrave) and the yeti thing was (pards).
I like that we have both &
