I believe she was a member before but it was only around early 2011 that the Count figured out how to reset passwords, so she had to make a new account when she forgot hers


Another great thing of the early years the lack of technical know how

Nail on the head. A definite influx of weirdos/spanners/stalkers since then.

I'm on here since it started. Saw the forum in one of the early fanzines. I think there were only about 60 users when I joined the forum. I've done a lot more lurking than posting over the years and couldn't say that it is much worse or better. There did used to be more threads after away trips looking back on the trip, photos and stories as well as comment on the match.

Half the problem these days is there is too many avenues of social media to be exposed on. For one instance if I'm renting out a property then the 1st thing I do is check them out online . If I'm employing someone then it's the same again . Check them out online and if you don't see what you like then that's it . And to be honest it worked both ways , on a rental I checked it out online and he was ideal but a right pain in the face - then another time taking a lad on to work ... I found out a few things and his previous employer was on to me super fast and saved me a lot of hassle.

The Fanzines - That's where it all started for me. Have been living away since 2001 so my routine was always to come home for the game, go with my ould lad, pick up an fanzine and then read it on the flight back over here. I defo have some of them kept somewhere : Must have a look for them for the craic.

Obviously not....otherwise Mr Stupid's upfront honesty would have precluded him from joining

Due to sheer laziness I have not checked back on the few pages in this thread to see if its been mentioned, but one thing we dont see anymore are FAO [insert username] threads asking that member to delete some PMs. Good times indeed...
