        Got to be around 17/18 years ago, back in good old 1999.

        All July 2005'ers come from the previous forum. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct...10151844,d.ZWU

        All Pre-2002'ers come from the 1st ever forum, which was lost for ever when our present Admin lost the floppy disk backup.

          I take it Milan Benes and his backup tapes were not around at the time...

          A quick 60 min backup could have saved the day ...

              He didn't lose it. He wanted a new project so he sold the old one to some woman with with some crazy idea about mums and nets or something.

              The new project started a market leading Goliath packed full of quality advice, opinion and fact. Quality posters providing copius useful threads and it quickly became a market leader unparalleled in its success. The advertising money just rolled in.

              In the meantime Admin started a vbulletin board up for CUK and has been crying in to his beer ever since.

                    Was that when you moved back into your mums house, prior to her giving you money for a house deposit, just to get rid of you?
