Not in terms of age, but in terms of who has been on here the longest.
unstableblue posted recently about being onhere for 24 years, about the same for me, but it just seems most on here now are new (ish).
Any more of the old guard out there? |  |

Twenty years for me. I used to have to wait until six o'clock every evening because i was on dial up then so didn't want it to cost. I can still remember that awful screeching dial up sound. I also remember the Rivals era. Thicky Bilverstone ran the Norwich one and would occasionally come on here. |
That budgie board was berserk.
They had BolshieBudgie on there, who was a Y chromosone or two short of a set.
Think Blueas posted BBs home phone number on here once, which was obviously taken with good grace and understanding by all. |  | | |

That is weird I replied but it isnt here?
I was posting in the 90s but spent a large chunk banned because of roy keane
We could do an age test with some questions
What did bebof stand for?
Who was the resident comedian ?
Who did a poo report ?
Who did a daily summary?
What uni did brit boy go to?
Who announced himself to the pub? |  |

I'm sure he was also Crafty Canary .They both posted in the same manner and were always online together. |  | | |

If people weren’t using the Mark E Owen board with a URL that has to be typed in then they are newbies.
I go back to sometime in 95/96 given I got in the Internet in my first year at uni. |

Think I was Grantor right back in the day; this is when BEBOF was posting.
Really miss dpilgrim; that bloke had exceptional horse-racing knowledge.
EDIT - I see SE1Blue is here; hello my friend. Are you still betting ITFC 4-1 Opposition on every Towun game? Came in against Burton last season; I thought of you.... [Post edited 7 Sep 2020 19:20]

Hey Funge,
Hope you’re well.
Haha at the 4-1. There’s no betting on football in Canada, so those days are gone. I do season long bets these days on top three finishes for a team from each of the top four divisions - only Sunderland let me down last season
Now we have some decent crossers of the ball, I’d go with Chambers anytime scorer each match this year. :) |  |

BEBOF = Big-eared Boys on Farms
Richsparov was the comedian, I think... but grumpy and not very funny which might still fit the job description
Vestanpance did the poo report.
Should know who did the daily summary but I'm drawing a blank.
2001 or 2002 for me. |  |

They were brothers! A couple of absolute doyles. One of them renamed themselves IllinoisGlue (after our respected peer on this very site); no-one knew why.
There was another bloke on there (Ratpack?) who was more Millwall than budgie, and actually quite good value. | | | |

Didn't Bilverstone eventually get outed as a massive racist? |  |

I kind of imagined that you joined as a young man "Cabin Boy Funge"
The Able Seaman Funge after a few years....Bosun Funge
Then maybe a few years as Midship Funge, before your recent position as Admiral
I'm guessing you are in civvy street now....just plain Mr Funge, dreaming of past glories
A bit like Town fans everywhere |  | | |

24 for me, I reckon. Possibly longer. I remember when the club were naive enough to run their own message board... |
I started on the club's tumbleweed message board, and then stumbled upon this one by accident one day. It was a revelation that there was a community of Town fans who actually had live discussions. Been hooked ever since. | |
