David-Copenhagen Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) As some people on here might remember it is now almost 10 years since Villatalk was started as a breakout from HV. Are the mods planing or should we all try to think of a way to mark the occasion? Should have been "10 years on" - sorry about that :-) BOF : Fixeded Edited August 13, 2013 by BOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Should have been "planning" as well, if we're picking holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Thought it was longer than that. Well done VillaTalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 13, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2013 I may be mistaken, but am I right in saying it was formed on my Birthday (15th December) I just remember back when our join dates were displayed under our avatars that LOADS of people had 15th December on them.

kurtsimonw Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Browsed a few other Villa sites, but VT is really the dogs, others aint close. Edited August 13, 2013 by kurtsimonw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 13, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2013 Birthdays are going to be coming in soon! What date did it start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Thought it was longer than that. Well done VillaTalk. Same here, could have sworn it had been around since before 2003. I expect John Cresswell or Simon Bonnick can elaborate. edit: could it not be the case that there was a change of software in 2003 that set everybody's joined date to Dec 2003?

chrisp65 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 don't like VT but the laughably lax way mods run the place means I can use it to pass international anarchist messages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 13, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2013 Originally formed by Peter Bosworth. Older than 10 years and nothing to do with any breakaway from a "HV". I remember Peter's old blog site (like a primitive version of the Vital network with more than one club represented) and I remember following him over to this place when he decided to go it alone.Now if we can just get it from the horse's mouth...

villarule123 Posted August 13, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2013 I remember when I was about 14/15 when some of us on here used the OS boards (how shit were they!?) the only people I remember from there are Rev (I think his name on here is an abbreviation from what it was on there) and ED (Evildan) I'm sure there are more from there too, who remembers that guy that went on a huge rant about Thomas Sorensen before the infamous 0-3 game at Newcastle, where Dyer and Bowyer had a fight? He said it was his worst day as a Villa fan and that we'd get trumped 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b23avfc Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 That really is scary..

Voinjama Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Is there some kind of connection between those who run H and V, and VT? Is it the same people running both sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
