How many years have you been forumming before you joined FB?

I started on the C4 Cricket Forum back in late 2005/early 2006 or there abouts, so not too many months till my 3rd year in this circle.

Hmmm, since 2003

Was more of a reader before that. I remember my first post being greeted with a sarcastic one line response by Taipan. Feck that's sad...

July 1999 when Cricinfo hosted the C4 forum. I remember some good debates about the make up of the England side to play New Zealand that summer.

I'm pretty sure my first 10 posts were blatantly ignored...

In my first post I seem to remember calling Zimmy a c*nt....

We've been friends ever since.

I remember when I used to get blasted for being Welsh....

Who is actually the longest serving forummer on this Forum?

Every forum needs its clown

since 2003ish

It might be Tom, Rachel or Rob I, Smurfy.

I've no idea; I don't count forumming anniversaries. I'd suggest four or five years. I'm now a member on about six million forums, though I only post regularly on seven.

actually 2002ish.

Joined C4 during the 2003 Saffer series.

First post was a carefully constructed real rant-a-thon about something or other. England selection policy would be a fair bet I imagine.

Got a 'great first post!' from one of the regulars (I forget who), but it's been all downhill ever since...

Since Jan 05.

Ditto, just after the 2002-3 Ashes and just before the ABC forum went tits up. We were then subject to various Flintosser jibes. 2005 was sweet.

Ah, joined the England bandwagon when they were successful, eh?

Yep, perhaps I should quit until they start winning again!

What's with all these shit 'this is your (internet) life' threads at the moment? Snap out of it and stop reminiscing; not only is it painfully boring, it is also depressingly sad. You're all Flaming Bails celebrities and you're all qunts. In conclusion, enough.

It beats work.

And don't go getting jealous because your not as much of a sad sack as the rest of us...

JK - there are World of Warcraft addicts who aren't as sad as you.

I think I joined during the Pakistan tour late 05, though I lurked for a while before that. I've racked up less than a thousand posts in total over what must be more than three years, so I'm regarding that as a win.

I joined C4 in May 2004.
My first question was something along the lines of how do you deal with people who, when you tell them you love cricket, say they think it's boring.

I remember taipan told me to piss off and I reported him . . .

I also remember that when Angela M found out I lived in Cornwall she treated me like a demented yokel and delighted in taking the piss out of everything I said. I had a go at her and asked her why all her remarks to me were so snidey.

Pinch blocker was my favourite person!
