Oldest poster 17:17 - Sep 7 with 40017 views | Wallingford_Boy | 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? | |

Oldest poster on 22:06 - Sep 7 by Plums | I can’t recall what the subject was but he was asking for advice about something under an anonymous username. He then tried to link his next post to a website but posted a link to a document on his hard drive with his name exposed as part of the url. A complete meltdown ensued and of course the usual TWTD mickey taking didn’t help. |
Damn! I missed that. | |

Oldest poster on 22:14 - Sep 7 with 5369 views | solemio | I've been on since about 1997 or 8, but I'm blowed if I can remember what my posting name was in those days! I'm amazed that nobody has mentioned the notorious Newmarket_Blue. One of my favourite posters in the early days was Wim Burley who posted sensibly but generally optimistically. That Ixworth Blue was so much more sensible than modern posters like Factual Blue. | | | |

Indeed. Facters could learn so much from the likes of Ixy! | |

Newmarket was excellent fun. He did live with his mum though. Haverhillnumberone was the other stand out poster from the earlier years I was here. Incredible guy. | |

If you’re a newbie then I haven’t a clue what I am. Floated around the past 6/7 years but only been a regular forum poster since the end of 2017. Still don’t think I’ve made a worthwhile post as yet. | |

Incredible is just the beginning. Malcolm was the biggest, dodgiest village idiot imaginable. Benters can only dream. But yes, Newmie was a great poster. I think I disagreed with almost everything he said but he was sharp and funny so it didn't matter. | |

Oldest poster on 23:06 - Sep 7 with 5271 views | Melford | I jumped in in 2009 after lurking for a couple of years. I did buy the first copy of TWTD the fanzine, I remember the Chris Kiwomya "You Know When You've Been Tangooed" Poster that I had on my wall for years. TWTD was the new kid on the block that then, you already had A Load Of Cobbolds and Dribble! It's alright being online from whenever but I bought the first ever copy of Those Were The Days and that was long before Phil was running it. | |

I think I first discovered TWTD in 2004. Passed the time at work! | |

I genuinely didn't know forums existing back then. I don't think I had semi regular access to the internet until 1998, and I had to visit the uni IT rooms for that! | |

Yes think you are right. I think it was to do when BNP member lists accidently got leaked online and names and addresses were published and allegedly he was one of those listed. [Post edited 8 Sep 2020 8:41]

Oldest poster on 22:00 - Sep 7 by xrayspecs | Mid to late 90s - pre rivals. Posted as Lingfield Blue. Changed username when I moved away from Lingfield. I believe CITB did the daily summary, Remember vestanpance, there were a few Town fans in London posting here. Pre-Twitter and much more fun (sadly). |
Mid 90's? ....mind.... Blown!! | |

It was a paper fanzine for a few years before it went online. I remember being 13 or 14 at the time and having cartoons published in TWTD paper edition across a few issues. | |

There was a stand outside the ground. I believe there was a time when Phil himself manned it. | |

Mention of Malcolm has made me wonder who has had the most user names on TWTD. Can recall a post match meltdown where he posted under at least two other handles on the same thread. | |

Wasn't there an issue when the Sir Alf statue was installed about whether TWTD could still be sold at that spot? | |

I thought there was some confusion whether to go with the statue of Sir Alf or one of Phil holding a copy of TWTD at the time. | |

I think that has somehow jogged my memory about when I first bought a copy of TWTD, the magazine. Must have been the Sergeant Pepper's pastiche cover - end of the 1997/98 season? Probably started posting on the forum or whatever it was called back then the following year. | |

I don't remember how it happened, but we got hold of Bilverstones mob number, and called him from the away end when town had just beaten scum at CR.... his little angry face when he could see us was fantastic | |
