I see our longest-standing member (August 2007-) is...

I know. But having committed to the joke I couldn't then post the actual URL until you responded.

flamingbails.informe.com

I've found no trace of the f*cker. I think it's gawn like Simon le Bon.

Yeah'sf*cked. Done and dusted in every way. Maybe Laura's got it all meticulously saved on his hard drive? I reckon so. He seems to have plenty on there.

There was a back up forum somewhere. On the hosts where Lags had his chat for men who like the company of other men.

Freeforums, perhaps....?

Ah...

"flamingbails.freeforums.org was removed for inactivity."

Impatient bastards. Wasn't inactivity. We were just thinking of the right word to use.

Nah'sf*cked. Done and dusted. All roads lead to Zanzibar or whatever.

Damn. It should've been a forum job to just bump some thread or some sh!t. We need f*cking cohesion. We need to be more on the ball. This place cannot go the same way. It's absymal, our casual fly-by-night, devil-may-care, la-di-da, whimsy,quimsy ways of being. Must be more serious!

These qunts who like to tidy up stuff sh!t me. Inactivity - pah. There was probably a sh!tload of gold in that now deleted lot.

3 - CaptainO
276 - SF Barnes
121 - Neil D
608 – Leo - although recently returned, briefly
174 – iieee
66 – Rosydaysarefew
78 – Biffe Harde – shame, quality forummer
186 – Sasha
86 – Steve
50 - pixie

Yeah, CaptainO was Dello's bastard child, but did the rest of 'em get run over by London Buses?

Neil D got married.
Iieee had a couple of kids.
Becky was slowing down on C4 long before the move.
Biffe was virtually non existant on C4 before the move.
Sasha was basically here for the chat, not the cricket. I probably still have her on Facebook somewhere.
Steve I can hardly recall.
Pixie was my mistake. Should never have tried to recruit her.

As you seem to know why, why not enlighten us serfs.

When did Leo return? Did Ramps do something outrageously brilliant?

Bored with others lecturing them to death?

Last Sunday, in the Aus Politics thread (p48) and in the WI v Bannie 3rd Test thread.

And I will continue with my usual insightful cricket posts.

Until Vikas waddles in.

I will bamboozle him with the sagacity and depth of my cricket knowledge.
