Maybe it was all in my head. I though I was one of the few 1 ID'ers, it just seemed to be so many threads where one guy was obviously talking to himself until someone bit on his bait.
Thanks, you helped me to find .... me http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/U14119650 (and my final desperate plug http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A85029294)
I recall the old 606 well. My first thread was in January 2007 I think. It was actually quite fun but the moderators were appalling. I often called them fascists and KGB agents and all sorts till they put me back in moderation mode. Restarted my profile with a new email address because I was sick fed up of the moderator messages saying your post was deemed inappropriate even for the slightest remark. The last few months of it's existence and actually the last year or so I rarely went on it. Oh yeah and there was xiggly - a desperate Senna fan boy who ridiculed the achievements of Jim Clark and Michael Schumacher which I put forward to him.... and in turn saying his opinion stood greater that that of Murray Walker because Walker was incompetent. Never knew he posted such explicit pictures though.
I just found this which is quite funny and typical of the dying days of 606: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/F21281791?thread=8216514
I wish i hadn't been right. Couldn't they have just fired Benson, it would have saved enough money to keep 606 open, and firing Benson would have convinced the paymasters to keep the f1.
I'm hunting for the best [Insert random skill] management post at the moment If you end with the word FACT anything you said is 100% true... or the other way round, can never remember
My favourite thread I ever made: Generic driver bashing Have to go from the start though as it tailed off a bit with plugging http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/F20397834?thread=8060459&show=50 Full of FACTs and every bingo winning phrase going
"Driver B is just a helmet" BLS at his best. Other gems; "Driver C is clearly the best because you have to remember excuse #1, excuse #2, and even excuse #3. Drivers A and B both had [deluded conspiracy] and are [petty put down]." "I'll think you'll find that [deluded conspiracy] was made up by Team A because they are [Even more petty put down]!!! By falling for it you are simply proving my original point! (which I have now forgotten)" "Oh, and [Team Principle A] called [Team Principle B]s mum a woman of loose morals, due to the on track antics of [Driver A] and [Sans Legs Driver B]" Who is Keyser Soze, he was excellent.
I love how the argument basically turned into an anonymous Hamilton v Alonso argument. Alonso>Hamilton. FACT.
