My question is what preceded RTTL?

Visordown (VD) was first, then The Rev Counter (TRC) and now RTTL.

There was also TheKneeDown, or something very similar. For a very short time, possibly less than a week. Set up by the founder of TRC and it was merged in or similar. If WB is on here maybe he could confirm.

Sorry for the vagueness it was a long time ago, in a galaxy far away.

Cleaning your brake discs with WD-40 was another!

The WTC one on 9/11 was incredible, VD was ahead of every single news channel.

Drak Agnel was a brilliantly inspired spoof and posting a link to a newbie’s pm’s was always entertaining. ;)

I caught Dark Angel and she wasn’t massively impressed, :D I can’t remember the details but I’m sure a couple of people played along which made matters worse :D :D
