The amount of discussion and arguements you can have over something that wasn't clearly brought up is insane. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just an idiot, or whether every single male has it like this. Nope Its definitely them not us pal 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird to think the club actually ran a message board whereby most of the posts in it were saying how shit the club was That got taken down around 2004/5 and I was in forum limbo until my brother found VT in 2005ish, I lurked for a year and joined in Nov 2006. It was in that year I decided what this forum needed, essentially someone incredibly annoying, obnoxious, idiotic and random.. As is to be expected, my early posts are pretty embarrassing to read back on. Not my funny stuff, but the one's where I'm actually trying to say something or hold an opinion. I've received some pretty funny private messages over the years I remember when the "like" function came to be, when the site essentially restarted and all the old threads got deleted. For what it's worth I hated the SIFF World cup stuff, I thought that was shit. - sorry to whoever made it. The Scuba Steve stuff was ok. Baselayers did trick me. The best stuff for me always comes from @useless. Honestly, when he (you) left this site for 6-12 months, the quality of this site fell through the shitter - never leave again. I find anyone who joined after myself to be a complete and utter noob and I hate you unconditionally. The people who joined close to/or after the "like" function are at an unfair advantage, so again - **** you Here's to another 15 years. I can't wait to die and my kids stumble upon my account That'll be funny. "...dad was a bit of a prick wasn't he?" @lapal_fan, there are plenty of incredibly annoying, obnoxious, idiotic posters on here. You are never one of those but it does unnerve me slightly when you post serious stuff. I absolutely love your random stuff, always cheers me up. Now get this. You joined the site on 22 November 2006. EXACTLY THE SAME DATE AS ME. That's a hell of a coincidence. Does that mean you hate me unconditionally or am I OK? As I didn't discover off topic for ages I have only just read back the SIFF World Cup and Honeytrap threads. They didn't really do much for me, maybe you had to be there? I read back my early posts which were mostly to General Krulak and they are pretty cringe worthy, I am not sure what I was thinking. Then again he was a fraud so sod him.

When I'm 80+ and in a care home will my group music sessions involve sitting around an out of tune piano singing Nirvana and Oasis songs with my fellow inmates .. or is Get me to the church a timeless classic that I need to start learning when I'm 79 ? I believe that Milkshake by Kelis will be the care home song of choice by then. That or Baby Got Back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in that year I decided what this forum needed, essentially someone incredibly annoying, obnoxious, idiotic and random.. I had wondered if anyone besides me joined VT as a result of the board on the OS shutting down. I lurked on the AVFC message board for a few months before they closed it, but it must have been around 2007 that it shut down because I didn't follow Villa before then. I can't remember how I stumbled onto VT, but I seem to remember that I learned about it from the OS. Perhaps they posted a list of other fan forums for people to try when they shut theirs down? I can't believe I would have put in any more effort than copying a URL to find a different forum. I lurked here for a couple of years before joining, though I can't remember it was a compelling need to post something that caused me to finally join. Probably not, since it must have taken me 5 years to hit 50 posts. I still don't post much given the amount of time I spend on here reading, but I'm gradually learning from many of your examples that it's not necessary to have something worthwhile to contribute in order to post.

TheAuthority Posted June 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) I joined March 2008 but definitely lurked for a long time before. I was on the 606 boards and really enjoyed them. I'll never forget the day they shut them down and everyone went ballistic. I think I found VT at that time but it seemed so huge and intimidating that I used to read a smaller forum called VBB (Villa Blues and Baggies.) Eventually it just died out and now it's forum graveyard. Eventually I just realized that VT was mainly about 20 - 25 of the same m*ngs word posting b*ll*cks all day so I jumped in. Edited June 9, 2020 by TheAuthority I just discovered a new word filter :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
