Members photos www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=10545818833#!/photo_search.php?oid=10545818833&view=all Add to that list: Phil from SA, Vic, Yousef, Zico, Marian, Porky's daughter, QPR Mal (I wonder what became of him?), Robby (Aka Robby Thomas Walsh - an excellent singer), Paula, Dawn, Hoopstilidie, Big Ade, Ian Rose, Trini Ranger from Jamaca or there abouts, Ian Brewster - the Biker, Mick Cordwell & his lovely wife, Johhny Hardman, Steve Russell, Mark Davis. Back then Pete wasn't such a nob and his rumours & ITK messages copped him heaps but he was ok with it. That MB rocked. Jim Frayling and later Billy Rice were the clubs representatives and Dodgy & I ran it for the most part with one other (Apologies I cant remember the name as he only modded for a short time) It was a very proud achievement to get that going so well. My biggest regret was the Great Brawl of China, and then Ver2 of the MB came out it sucked! and it still sucks from what I hear. The club had a real link with the fans I vaguely remember Bill Power coming on from time to time and then those PTV (c**ts) screwed it. Billy had left to other fields. I know I am being a bit sensitive but I really loved that MB, having worked on it with Jim shortly after he started it. I was the night shift. Dodgy was the day shift. I even miss dodgy on here to this day although we have skyped each other. I do keep in touch with some. |

Yep and I remember my very first posting on the old site - in Oct 2000 when we had just lost at home to Burnley, and I made the comment that we were in trouble and that this could be a very long and hard season. As it turned out I totally underestimated the situation - it turned out worse than that.
Still that M/B really kept us going that season - remember Anders the City fan who showed everybody how to do avaters and that prick of a Pompey fan, the Relegator (wonder how he feels now)?
To see a great M/B being replaced by what they have now is heartbreaking (even if I still use that site). If it ain't broke, why fix it - and if you do try don't demolish it.
Robby (the singer) is still on the main m/b, but a lot of the others have fallen by the wayside - unless they are still around but with totally different names. Whatever happened to Big Ade's fansite?

Ade's site still works but not at the web address you know, Anders was a brilliant City fan, he taught me and Dodgy a lot about html coding. as for the Relegator, I wonder who he really was and yes, he wouldn't be so smug now.
They were good times, even on the old Planet site Phil and you were very much a part of it.

I posted for years as Macmoish. And then as 1967 (Don't remember exactly which year I changed names). Since 2005, as QPR Report. But never used more than one posting name at a time. And never used different names on different boards. And certainly Never ever, used multiple names on the same board during the same period.

Me too, I've almost always used "Lonegunmen".
There was a time when I used "Number 6" as a tribute to Patrick McGoohan.

I have always used Philip from SA or a variation of that. It's pretty self explanatory.
I do say this about the official m/b - both old and new - is that they don't really censor anybody who has an axe to grind with the owners. Hell Paladini & Briatore came under a lot of flak on the offy site, while Wright & Hammer Blackburn got their fair share of it on the old m/b

Oh and do the users on there get abused or threatened by the Pro Paladini 9?

Post by saphilip on Nov 20, 2010 14:50:46 GMT
If they did then I didn't really notice. Besides, they would get ignored in most cases as the feelings for Paladini on that site wasn't exactly positive. There was actually a lot more support for Briatore - but the majority of users disliked both of them.

Hmmm so just this site and Indy's really targeted, no consistency, they should be targeting anyone whom isn't in love with Leader. One could take it personal.
Oh well no such problem with Ver 1, anyone and everyone got a serve if they were out of line in the club.

Which made it so weird on the old WATRB board, when Pete suggested re this board's posters: "or get them to use different usernames and make it look busy. Maybe qpr-report can be londonranger for the day..." And then asked me "qpr-report. Are you also londonranger?" And then reasked: "are you also londonranger on your board? Answer the question for us. cheers" I was curious of the "sauce" for that!  |

And the tradtional "Answer the question", yet when one is asked of him he either answers with a question or wont give you a from him direct honest truthful yes or no type answer.

It was just such a weird question. I mean I/London had been very careful so how could he know? ;D Of course the same gentleman had the "inside dope" about my secret meeting with Bill Power et al.  |
