Tooj 17 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Well since my join up I've graduated from Uni, doing pretty well for myself in the career wise, nothing to do with my degree like which is typical. Had varying success with the ladies! Single at the moment which I'm quite enjoying! I don't drink anywhere as much as I used to when I first joined up I can say that much, ups and downs as most have had, the biggest down point being losing my Granda who to this date has been the most important figure in my life.

Ah thats right, I remember that. Was a few new mods added at the time. SweMatt had been a mod for a while as he looked after the Swedish part of the board.

Going by the user listing asteroidblitz has posted, I'm guessing it was born on 16 July 2002 seeing as that's Philip Craig's sign up date. Means it had only been in existance for 3 years when we started this place up in July 2005.. So this place has nearly been around longer! Odd, the old place seems like it had been around a lot longer than that... And this place was supposed to quickly die a death remember... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besty 4 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Can't even remember how I found this place, I think I posted on NO before here and found it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I got my years wrong then, must have been late 2002 / early 2003 - second year of A levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 172 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 It seems like this place, in its various forms has been here forever, but when you try and put a date on it, in football sense it all seems so recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInspiration 1 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) I joined here around August 2005 iirc. Since then, well nothing too exciting has happened. I've continued to post every now and then but less so these days. I've gone on study A-levels and have found out I can't do English, but it's a bit late now when you've just done your English exams. Might be going to Newcastle University next year if I get the grades and also if I don't change my mind about next year in general, upon getting my results.

Tooj 17 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I think I started posting on N-O just before the boards split, so when they split I also signed up for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gejon 2 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Started on the official board, someone kept posting porn, I came back and it was gone. Blaydon linked me to toontastic and I have been here and on N-O since. When I started I worked for a company called Quantex selling computers, have since moved into pensions and recently changed company (kind of). Had a few girlfriends along the way and some embarrasing posts Haven't really done anything exciting in all those years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I'd nearly forgotten I was a mod for a bit. I don't think I even did any modding. I ended up on the board through Hawks - he linked me to something and I browsed for a few months before a Gary Speed related debate spurred me to sign up.

Ally 0 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I think I started posting (or at least browsing etc) in about 2001. I was definitely around for the season we finished 4th. I met some of you in August 04 before I went to Uni, shit as if thats 4 years ago! I'm now working in sunny Rotherham, never thought i'd be doing that 7 years ago.
