Screw IRC, whatever happend to jimmythefish was it? damn, my brain struggles to go back that far, some old names id like to see again tbh but my memory holds out  :?

some quality stuff went on, big forums was indeed ghey

i joined when it was tekforums:81, a mate at school (yes that long ago) showed me it lol

Quote from: Clockd 0NeNah, it really went downhill after the big switchover period, where it went Tekforums > Bigforums > Tekforums:81 > Tekforums with new database, every time it switched we lost a bunch of members. The community was a lot bigger back then, and Trubs egg frying only helped to gain new members.

Except for nearly frying Sams server. ruddy thing was down and up again for days

Another one of those might get the forums going again.

I joined back in Mid 2003 when it used to be BigForums, and i was 14 back then, oohh the days! lol

I was here back then, and earlier... PMd Trubbs a few times and he seemed like an ok guy to chat to but he did have a few run ins on the Forums with people he had sold things to as I recall and there was some open arguing which got a bit tedious to read everyday. Of course the Overclocking Store was around in them days too and their Forum was quite respectable for a while but that went downhill before the shop did...

The egg thread as I recall got mirrored all over the net and the combined views on all the sites together was staggering, at the time. Trubbs was also interviewed for a PC mgazine IIRC. Seem to remember seeing the pics in there too.


Dave.

That was what brought me to big forums

well i opnly joined a few months ago looking for trixbox stuff

An admin should mass email all the members, maybe some of them would come back and take a look, its been a while.

IRC is too newfangled for me

I still use UNIX talkers

He started his own site Lethal Hardware with forums, also hung around on another forum i think hwulex was the owner of that one, and they all went to bit tech i think, afaik all ocsregulars.

I remember being a member here wayback under a different name, but when i came to shine here was when ocs split (rip), and some of us found our way here as a group, surely you remember my strict running of the trading forums, before i found "online rpg games" oh and my website

Im a member of Lethal Hardware and have been for some time. Didnt really like the forums, its sort of the same as being a newbie trying to get into the forum crowd.

ive been around since the OCS days. man that was a wicked time for the forums

then the big change overnight and loads signed upto the new era of tekforums(1minute past midnight or something).

used to post a lot but as things dried up here i just lurk now.

wonder where BRUN and his mates from st helens are these days.
also wonder if Storm is still doing up his nova
