In that time we’ve had 3 new Phils and 6 new Gavs.
But who can go back further than 1999? It must be a few of you, I seem to remember it being pretty well established (and more polite) even back then in the relatively early days of the internet.

Think it was about same as you, or maybe 1998.
I remember having to add "ry" to the end of my first username Ryor, as Gav deemed that 4-letter usernames should no longer be allowed, can't think why
Back in 1998 /1999 I was part of a email based message board that would fly emails off to the whole group, when you sent one to it. We even ended up playing for an Ipswich team in a real tournament of message board supporters groups, somewhere. In those days not many people had email but I was living in Scotland so it was my only way to keep in touch with Town news. I do remember one member had a website called www.sickasaparrot.co.uk

I reckon I was around '96. Posted as WilnecoteBlue as that was where I was living. My employer had set up a lunch time internet cafe where we could surf in our lunch hours if we chose to on one of 2 PCs.
My first ever post was something like "I fcking hate Norwich" and I got my first ever 2 pager (or whatever the equivalent was)
Edit: Remember a couple of old names, CheeseBoy of Dudley being one. He was like a young Rommers - someone pinched his flag at an away game and he was proper unhappy about it. It was literally drawn on in Crayon which made his protests a little melodramatic.
I am pretty sure I registered with it late 90s after I bought my first home computer and certainly viewed it then as I was working for an internet company at the time - and nobody minded what you looked at (bar the obvious).
I don’t think I posted anything for some years though so I don’t really count!

I think I go back to around 1996 as I can date it to when Brian Horton was Huddersfield manager and we won a crunch playoff contention game and I had to vent about it at the time, well next day at work. The board before the Teams one I think, basic but worked. Thank goodness for work computers, certainly didn't have a home computer at that point.

I lived there from 93 to 2001. Used to drink in The Globe mainly - was even a signed up member of the Wilnecote WMC :-)
Been here since 95.
Did you ever walk down the Glascote road wearing a town shirt? I remember seeing someone heading towards town probably in the late 90's donning the sacred shirt but I was young and timid at the time. I would say hello if I saw someone here wearing it kit now but not back then! Apologies, in another reality we're probably buds!
BTW I first started using the site around 1999/2000, it actually cost me my job at around that time. I was working for a data capture company and the guy that ran the IT side of things (who was a massive knob) had a computer that had a modem in his office. I was working overtime on one Saturday and snuck into his office used his computer to check the site. I shut everything down and carried on with my work. Monday comes around and I'm summoned into the owners office and promptly sacked for using the internet without authorisation. I had forgotten to wipe the browsing history and the IT guy dobbed me in, jobsworth!
I don't think I registered until around 2002 and even then I was more of a lurker.
