Who remembers the old posting boards? Good days!

I'm sat just about to list some bits and bobs and thought back to when the posting boards were so different.

I rarely come here now, but have some great memories 😊

A few that come to mind...

* There was WOS (RIP) who always kept us entertained.

*Andy who's query posts were always cryptic but you got there in the end

* The night we took over the board masquerading as cartoon characters (I've forgotten the name of them)

* So many 'code 42's!

* Drunken Friday night ramblings by a certain poster.

* The guy who's witty feedback responses had us in bits

* Friday fight nights

* Being too scared to enter the 'Round Table' board!

* Having complete threads removed by a rather grouchy mod just for using CAPS in the title, ha ha!

Anyone else here remember these days, or have you all gone?

I forgot. Any form of jollification is strictly not allowed, ho ho.
I miss the boards, but strangely, I get so much more done nowadays. I used to get up, make a cuppa and log in 😄

what board did you go to

Re: Who remembers the old posting boards? Good days!

The selling board, and occasionally Home & Garden.

Well this post has been moved - lighthearted posts are definitely not allowed on the current selling board.

I shall crawl back under the rock from whenst I came

Those were the days.

Back then on Q&A, a thread could go down the page in a couple of hours, now on Seller Central, it take a couple of days or more.

a Thread could drop off this board in a couple of hours

I recall the old boards back to 2001

Re: Who remembers the old posting boards? Good days!

tara*the*tiger*cat — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 19:21:22 GMT

2001 for me as well.

Selling was easier then, without so many daft rules and regs (much cheaper to list too)

I wonder if we'll still be here in another 15 yrs? I'll be an ebaying pensioner then

I remember some of it, the days when regardless of what thread was posted there would be those who discussed the thread and those who treated the thread with disgust. Perfect for a scuffle leading to a fight followed by a Slap

How could I forget the slaps and passing the botty cream!

(And posting bans for a week, then grovelling to the mods to allow a return, heh heh)

That's Right, wasn't your original registration date written in Roman Numerals Petal ?

I thought it was written in runes.
