Excuse me while I throw up in my wine glass.
If it hadn't been for that place then how would our paths have crossed, Nick?
I'm richer for the experience.
Lesser places have come and gone, so I say kudos is due.
Mr Harvey first graced TVF with His presence on November 11th 2001, according to a peek in that web archive thingy. My old profile details aren't archived, but I know that I joined in January 2002 - I think it was a week or so after Johnnyboy, IIRC.
Contrary to what most people seem to be saying, I'm surprised at how many people are actually still around (not including those who have changed usernames - I can never keep track of those), albeit not posting as regularly as they used to. Considering the generally transient nature of internet communities, I think that it's unique to be able to look back and 'know' who most people are/were.
It's a pity that the threads aren't easier to read - some of them would have been hilarious, especially with the benefit of hindsight. And some of the titles seem to indeed indicate that the
