Title: Hey guys...
Post by: Edd on October 21, 2019, 19:36:44 PM
So yesterday I decided to see if tekforums was still going in some way, and I was surprised to see that it was, albeit with a much smaller user base ;)
Anyway I thought'd I'd just make a post to say hello and ask how everyone is doing.
I also had a look through some of my older posts, and jesus christ I was a right little bastard back then, honestly surprised I didn't get banned. So to Serious and neXus, who seemed to get the worst of it, I apologise for being such a twat. I can't or couldn't help it, I just liked pushing peoples buttons and winding them up to get a reaction.

Good to see you back dude! Stick around! :ptu:

Conversation is a little light these days but its like dropping in and meeting old friends for a chat. It's not gonna go anywhere any time soon.

Nice to see another classic name appear! In a change of pace form the norm I'm not going to post an Arnie picture, infact he's not even in this movie!

"Have you seen this boy?"

Welcome back. Pity we didn't have more old members here regularly.  :ptu:

Try to avoid mention of the B****t word. Some people are touchy about it.  :muttley:

I asked Trump if we could borrow his copy of Global Intercontinental Thermonuclear war, but he said the Pentagon wouldn't even let him play with it....

Was just thinking today that this was my first ever forum on the webz so very long ago.  Pretty sure there was a reset at some point and our respective profile join dates are actually much earlier.

How time flies!

Memory is fuzzy but there has been a few incidents...


- The domain thing and issue
- There was a database issue with some loss of posting with restore at backup
- There was the license issue I think that triggered the move from invision to simple machines forums
- I helped get a skin close to what it was with some tweaks as well


Probably not 100% and probably more incidents. Nige will know more.

Sam was a bit lax on keeping on top of some of the things back in the day - losing the domain being the biggy - I think we had three hard resets in total due to domains, database loss and switching software. Honestly I'm surprised we kept so many of the members but my account is about 20 years old if you treat it like Trigger's broom  ;D

Then there was that night where you could switch your nick repeatedly to anything you wanted. Just before shutting down I put my Serious nick back. Next day it was fixed and a lot of people had closed down without changing theirs back, had to beg for it a bit  :panic: :panic: :rofl:

Yep, I remember those database issues, and losing the domain.

I've been toying with the idea of trying to do a mobile-friendly theme but honestly don't have the time.

I joined pretty soon after getting dial up (I was a bit late)

joined because of the water cooling section... I was already water cooling, but no internet so I thought I was the only one!

was pretty shocked to find other people doing it, and that you could buy parts instead of making them!

think that's 24 years ago if memory serves :-o

pretty sure most of you guys were already here... or it feels like it anyway

Forums are a lot of work to get good working mobile.

Hey Vini, you still got that ibeats site was it? I think it was you, snaffling it when apple was prefixing everything with i!

Yep, still costing me £10 a year, no one ever came knocking.

Content wise, life began and the mate I ran it with moved away so it just kind of ran it’s course.

They are all several years older and sick of B***sh*t. It's supposedly dead and done with but it just lies there like a dead whale on the beach and won't go away.

I think it has. Still breathing - so can't complain!

Just older, stupider & less hair. Still in Sheffield, working not far from Ye olde TekHQ (of the good times).

Pfff, not a clue. I used to work just down the road from it (3 years ago), and it closed, reopened, refurbed, and god knows whats what now. Try to avoid the center & Meadowhall as much as possible. In fact, I try to avoid leaving the house as much as possible :D

I think they've dried up now. Thankfully! No money, no time :D

I can imagine that pre-lockdown Meadowhall and the surrounding area was becoming hellish with traffic and such.

It's not too bad. Only really gets bad at Xmas and when there's a gig on at the Arena.

Much prefer to WFH though :D
