Newbies ???

Post by Yorick »

Seen a few new names and that is fantastic on such a new forum. But it seems a few have changed their name from 'the old place' <shudder>

I've worked out who a few are, but seems a shame to not know the name changes. They have a history which will be lost on 99% of us.

Not sure of the solution, but it'd be a shame if somebody I liked came on board without me knowing.

Hmm

Was over on the “old place” many moons ago but wandered.
Came here from a non-engine powered route.
Name change is to break links with certain people who won’t go away... 🤣

Err, maybe ask them if you want to know? - It's what I would do.

(Yeah, I know chances are you will never "officially" see this post, but gwan, it's a new dawn- be brave, open your mind and view everything from everyone - you're missing out on some good stuff :P )

Maybe they've done it to avoid you 'ignore list' ? :lol:

New site = clean slate as far as I'm concerned. The content of a post should matter more than who posted it imo.

I joined the old place in Jan 08 but only made 50 posts, used to check in and have a read nearly every day though. I will try to be less of a lurker here :D

Back in 2002 I bought a 636, and I’m called Mick. When we moved from the other place to the other place I realised it was way out of date but couldn’t be bothered to think up a new name.
In 2020 we moved here, still couldn’t be arsed to think of a new name.
I only kept that 636 for about 5 months as well!!!!
Mick, who once had a 636.

In about 2002 or so I deliberately chose a name that was both different and also wouldnt be directly traceable to the real me. I've not dicked about with it since then and oddly enough I've not had much competition for it on forums either.

I used to be Sweary Girl. :) That was in the old old place, the one with wonky tits and soapy tenners. Before the old one that had Yarbles.
Whatever happened to Squid, and his replacement whose name I can't recall, the one who posted a pic of his hot Mum?
