24th Jan for me. You joined the day after. Don't think @brb came on board until much later. The fakin newbie.
I was here before most of yer ffs. My profile date is wrong, because the site owner had to rebuild my account. I moved over before the BBC closed.
There were defo only a few to start with other than what became the GC lot. I remember Mick had to get bots to generate content in the very early days. Now known as Kustard.
Some guy who lived out in Spain directed me over here (no not NSIS), I'd never heard of the place. I said I'd take a look - he spoke to Mick and got me set up as a mod until Syd left.
I liked Syd. He was a grumpy ****er, but he was fair. He just got exasperated with the place in the end, think he ****ed off to some Sunderland fan forum. At least you know you're dealing with a bunch of ****s, so you've stuck around
My bro was (and is) a proper tech nerd. He had a ZX81 when it first came out. 1K He bought a 16K ram extension pack and we played this game called 3D monster maze. OG stuff that.
I joined relatively late then in 2012 with a slightly different user name, which I then couldn’t log in to as forgot their password and ended up creating this account I wonder how many man hours have been spent on here by the collective PL posters
Likewise mate ... then got approached by Syd to be a mod for the Leicester board the following January due to my easy going, good humoured, non confrontational personality ...
He thought you were in your teens, early 20s, like us all, and had decades ahead of you. He did know you used to star in 70s porn.
Nope ... he could see my profile ... we already had 2 young mods who were at war with the Hull board ... and he had absolutely no idea I was a legendary Sex God ...
