Snedhead 1,310 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Partly inspired by Weezer's recent post-count celebration, I realised that next year will mark twenty (!?) years since I signed up here and stumbled into OTF. Unfortunately I only remember a tiny fraction of all I've consumed here over that time. What random threads/users/posts do you remember now when you look back on your time in OTF? And what part memories trigger something you can't quite piece together (maybe someone else can help)? Bisto's laptops, Serpico's passing, 'Teh Solids', Nep's missing girlfriend, 'OTF radio' interviewing Johny Pilko (?) about his recent banning, Henry v RVN, loked causing carnage in the GoT threads, Sy13's SOTB thread. That's a tiny cross-section of things I can recall to varying degrees after 30 seconds of thinking - how about you? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ajw10 1,033 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 The lasagna gate where Spurs had the ***** sticks out, mainly because the boards were down and we had to type in the chat room thing that was on here A bit after the time where I was most active on here, but TomTuck deleting his account when it came out that he made up his girlfriend and it was girl that he was obsessed with. Oh and Pjburrage? obsessing over a girl on the train and it turned out that she was a child. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Gizmo7 225 Posted February 12 Popular Post Share Posted February 12 3 minutes ago, Weezer said: I remember all of these except TomTuck, what was that about? He was talking/boasting in the Singles Thread about his girlfriend Vicky who was 19-years-old. Now iirc, I think it was Cleon, had his doubts that this was true, and managed to find her from his "following" list on Twitter, and through a bit of digging realised that actually, Vicky isn't TomTuck's gf, but TomTuck actually had obsession with this girl, and had manufactured this whole relationship with her in his head. He then proceeded to deleted all of his social media accounts and was never to be heard of again. Netflix should look in to turning this in to a 4-part documentary series - it was amazing to witness it all unfold at the time 17 Link to post Share on other sites

Whoever it was that found her messaged her about Tom, and she had no idea who he was. Then I think Tom was PMd asking what he was doing, because the girl who's photos he's sharing online isn't his girlfriend. He then made up some bollocks how it was all true, so all the info was posted in the singles thread.

Big Geordie 1,429 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Going proper old-skool Threads taking years to load when they went over 50 replies, a user/mod called Silverox throwing a massive strop, the first ever OTF meetup, which I think involved Silverfox, Rigger, Cranker and 36DD - Craig/Red Bastard properly offering someone out and as I mentioned the other week, a user called Brian Winnets hiring a hooker, filming it on his webcam and uploading it here for all to see. I also remember when meet up's where a thing - had a beer with Glasgow-Jack and an Arsenal supporter (who's name escapes me - possibly KANU IS GOD), when they visited Newcastle.

Bigwig 2,668 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 In fairness Ruckus mellowed a lot over the years and ended up as one of the better users when he was no longer a mod. I’ve been around almost 20 years now and it’s interesting to see how people change (or don’t). Some users understandably change as they grow older but others stick to their persona like an actor playing a role. Link to post Share on other sites
