For some of us it's coming up to a decade of being on here. Not sure whether this is incredibly sad or a cause to celebrate an anniversary ? So I'm going with probably something in between. Anyway, this place has seen some changes in this time. Relationships have been formed, broken and mended again. Posters have come and gone, straightners have been offered, some folk have met up and formed friendships with other posters (myself included) and we've lost some Soldiers along the way. Burly RIP Most of us migrated over here when the old BBC 606 closed, with it's parental like moderation (you couldn't even swear on there) this place offered a breath of fresh air with it's mantra 'Comment, Create, Debate... freely'. In the early days Mick floated around the site and could often be found on the chat window, but it was left to Cyprus Syd to mod the site and a grumpy old **** he was, but fair. Later the mod duties fell to brb, Minxy and Resurgam. Not sure if the latter are still around ? Don't really see them posting, not on the PL board anyway. The club boards have had a plethora of different mods, all recruited from ordinary posters, football fans first and mods second. Some good, some bad. Some who have taken their mod duties a little bit overzealously, some who prefer the laid back approach. The site has seen some classic moments. Meltdowns, Flounces and some genuinely funny moments. Some of the things that stick out for me were Ensil the ****ing terrible pedant losing his **** and posting a picture of his severed bollock. The bloke on the Utd board (Red Rum ?) who used to pretend he was running a posh restaurant serving famous people. He'd literally tell people he had to leave because Posh n Becks had just walked in Roofie leaving his missus, walking to the end of his drive and deciding whether to head East or West. Matth's kettle more recently and a whole host of melts and flounces. At the end of the day, this place for me is still about what it was when I first came here. A place for some Bantz and a place for some real talk when required. I've never taken this place too seriously. And whilst the ****ery is the order of the day here, there are some genuine lads on here who have got each other's backs
I’m game for a Party I’ll have some tales to share no doubt but first havin a spliff and making some homemade fried chicken
I reckon this thread should be like a neutral zone, where we can share stories, opinions and tales about posters without retribution. We're all lads who've come here to be part of the not606 fam at the end of the day.
Yeah that, and a space where we can all regale tales of the **** that's gone down on here without folk getting upset about it. Like a moment of reflection on the journey we've all been on.
That's just Tel's defence mechanism. Reckon he'd admit to still sleeping with his boyhood teddy bear if you catch him at the right moment.
It’s all good brother. You can say what you like on this thread. The rules have been set. This is a neutral zone where everybody is on the same level.
