There was, I think two before this one as some complained that they lost all their post numbers when they had to sign up again for the new one. AtW soon racked 1000's of posts in a week tho...

Yep

This is the third incarnation of the BB. I started out with the original

2000 I think, Google WAS my friend!

706 posts in 6-7 years since the new board, blimey you guys have too much time on your hands.

Ah, CC.net. Those were wild days.

It saw me through a very dull contract. Mind you it was using an atrociously coded forum. I managed to get it to display porn by embedding HTML in the subject line.

It only really came of age when CC.net stopped its anonymous posting capability. That was the board for anything goes humour / insults / why postings- albeit with a very juvenile flavour, and is now a pale shadow of itself.

I recall certain members of this board visiting and suggesting we post on CUK - I don't know how it happened but there was a group of noobs who tended to post only on TPD but escaped to General.

The quality has declined significantly since that event

I've only been on here a few years, and it was better back then too. This site just gets worse, in fact it was better on here yesterday than it is today.

If it's continuously getting worse, however slowly, then every time you post the board is worse than it was before.

Here's one of them: http://cuk.yuku.com/directory

There's a distinct element of truth there. I used to have colleagues in stitches with a selection of the best humour from earlier versions of the board.

No doubt from my posts

It was much better in the olden days when this forum was nothing but green fields All the posters back then were only part time IT Contractors and worked the rest of the time as world class comedians.

That's certainly true of me.

[DiscoStu]

In my case that is true.

And so modest too

[sasguru]

Which is a great pity as admin seems to think that the longer you post here there better a poster you are.

In my case that is true.

I was pointed in it's direction by a very nice contractor chap at Warwick County Council.

I've never been able to guess who he is on here....

I bet he quickly regretted the day he told me about it though, saying as when I first joined I clocked up something like 1,000 posts per day

Now all the new people have come and ruined it.
