This is the extent of my Internet identity. Never been tempted by Facebook etc.

Facebook can be tough at times listening to other people’s nonsense, after 20 years of posting on here maybe I’m immune to it:hehe:
I hardly ever post anything on it, a few pics of the kids for relatives who live afar. Culling about 250 people about 5 years ago was a clincher, didn’t really know them or want to either....keep it tight.

Good to see you are still around Gill. I was abroad in them days in asia and it was a great way of tuning into city games. Very grateful for your efforts at the time.

Part of the history Gill. You delivered a service that wasn't available anywhere else. Online chatroom commentary of live games for free over 20 years ago.

I loved doing it Mike, couldn’t go to the matches because of illness, I am glad it helped so many follow the matches.

Re: CCMB posters who have disappeared from this board.
I've been around since the Pipex server days, the website address was longer than the Mississippi. The old (pre footy mad) board was like the wild west. Hillarious reading especially when the boozy shackles came off on the weekend. Gill's commentary on weekends broke new ground and provided a wonderful service. I also seem to recall Bon Jovi providing some kind of the same service later on. Only met a few on here mainly in the pre game get together at the Lansdowne quite a few years ago. Generally happy to keep it underground in the sewers of Vienna.

Who's the guy that posted on here that had greyhounds with a trainer at Swindon dog track.
I'm sure he lived in Lisvane?

Wasn’t that Mick the Miller? Was a train driver. The original Croesy used to lose his mind with him

Yes, that's right. He was a decent left wing poster.

Other posters i remember were Jamsarnie, victor, caliburn to name a few. There was also a poster that had his name followed by 'and little Natalie'. And not fogetting the lad with the tattoo - stilton i think. It must be 20 years plus this board has been running.

So weird that we used to follow games like that. Thanks so much to Gill, who I actually ended up meeting thanks to that chatroom. I met another member of this board that came to my apartment to follow a game on chat that I'm friends with to this day.
