I wasn't regarded as the stud of the boards.

Didn't last long.

Nidgemo and Kaiser used to frequent these forums....they were interesting and fun, yet frustrating.

When Rhi, Kez, Sez, Low and Sair37 were the only girls on the forum, and all of them just wanted to talk football.

Rhi, Kez and Sez sounds like a really shit girlband.

I remember how Phil got his custom title! Some thread about away games and a picture of him eating a burger before each one.

Hahahaha he's never forgiven me for that. And he's never eaten one since.

...in game threads were not platforms for no-brain "fans" to spout the very first poisonous thought that popped into their tiny minds.

I remember when it was f2s.bootroom.net or something like that. Bob K was a frequent contributor, as was Rushian, Ben was ERP and Loki was the most aptly named member of staff. Steve C had yet to break the women's hearts by running off with the love of his life, Gareth hadn't yet become an astronaut and I was the annoyingly precocious 14 year old that churned out articles at a rate of at least a couple a month.

A long, long time ago. A lot has happened since then but the people I have met as a result of this website have made a not insignificant contribution to the person I am now. Some good; some really not.

I remember RAWK when I actually liked 90% of the active members.

I'd best be in the 10%.

Lumped with someone who threatened another member with a knife and someone else who got banned for dodgy money making endeavours.

Should I buy Phil a burger?

Still miss him. One of my greatest regrets is that we had an argument about something before he disappeared. I can't even remember what it was about. I said something that I really didn't mean but because he took off so soon after, I've never had the opportunity to say sorry. He was one of the nicest people I've ever met; I really hope he's OK wherever he is.

I'm probably good for the triangle. And I used to be alright at smacking upturned saucepans with wooden spoons when I was about 4.
