Re: You may ask yourself, how did I get here?

I stumbled on to the Channel 4 forum back in 1999.

I remember C4 was linked to Cricinfo's forum at one stage. To other old C4-ers: Was this already the case back in 1999 or something that happened afterwards?

I remember posting on a Cricinfo forum/chat room during the 1999 World Cup. I can't remember if that led me to the C4 website or if I joined the C4 forum earlier than that.

Very much doubt if anyone else dates back to 1999. I can't think of many who predate mem maybe Ang or Jill.

Tom or Rachel maybe go back to 1999.

I posted VERY rarely from late 2006 on the C4 forum I think, basically just before we got dicked if memory serves.

Didn't really post a lot when this place started but I was here pretty early. I seem to have missed most of the good bits from 2007-8, but I like to think I've been involved on a regular basis since 2009. I think I broke up with my girlfriend of 2 years almost to the day of joining this forum. She was a really awful human (unlike the most recent one, who is rather lovely despite everything).

That would be half of my life if I'd joined then....

He didn't make a 10 year anniversary song and dance about it like I will next January.

So you started Jan 2003? So I just predate you?

by Yorkie Jill Mon 23 Apr 2012, 21:50

That's what I remember the date on my c4 profile saying.

by taipan Mon 23 Apr 2012, 21:54

I seem to think I started in December. Can recall being there for the SA tour in 2003, so must have been 2002.

I wonder if, around my ten year stint here, Zat will report me to Dello and get me banned Very Happy

Only if he realizes you are GMan

Bastard, you've totally screwed me now!

At least I didn't mention Jillie's age. She was more mature than Mel though.

Through the wonders of mathematics, we can all work it out. I'll teach you sometime.

by Yorkie Jill Mon 23 Apr 2012, 22:23

I wasn't illegal. And I think Mel was older than me.

by Brass Monkey Mon 23 Apr 2012, 22:25

Illegal? Was there a whole side to C4 that I didn't know about?

by lardbucket Mon 23 Apr 2012, 22:26

It was all in that sinister Sunshine Lollipops area.

by Brass Monkey Mon 23 Apr 2012, 22:27

Marcs has a lot to answer for.

by Yorkie Jill Mon 23 Apr 2012, 22:27

I don't think I ever went in those threads. Ever.

I thought he was One Large Cocoa Bean or Comical Smoking Monkey ... or Lucky Pierre ... or Mang the Merciless? It's so confusing.

by lardbucket Mon 23 Apr 2012, 22:29

I blame Rob. Skully may have his mantle now ...

Good lass. Get well oiled for the occasion.

I think Mang had the most posts... about 8 grand, maybe. F*cking plain old Brass Monkey.
