before there were forums we existed on email communities like the old yahoo groups. when i was playing online competitively i used (and still do) irc on quakenet.

we've used forums ever since i came online, which corresponded with my move down here from darkest lancashire

I also played loads of video games spectrums, megadrives, pc games, playstations, xbox, etc etc

I wouldnt have attempted doing half the work on my car without the help of forums !! I'd have left it well alone and kept it stock !!

A good thing would have been that I wouldnt have had the pink tracksuit warrior badge and the banter that went with it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
