As I had a bit too much time on my hands tonight I was digging around and found the first version of the forums archived from October 1999. It was pretty similar to now, but started with just nine forums. Five (with or without current names) are still here. Unfortunately the actual posts weren't saved, but I'm sure it'll provide some nostalgia for a few members and everyone else can see how it began. Original forum index

I didn't arrive for another couple of months, but yes I recognise them.

Interesting. I do sometimes read the old posts from previous pages and enjoy reading them

mate, nice work .. I've spent ages in there trying to find the original forums!
