UKFF Silver Anniversary! (massive asterisk)

[tiger_rick]

Thanks @Moo for all the time and money you've sunk into this place.

Can't believe how much of my life I've wasted spent chatting shit on here. It really is a great little community though. Cheers everyone.

It would be fun to do a UKFF census one day to validate if we are just all old bastards who've been here ~forever.

A real one or @Frankie Crisp selling all our data to fund his wedding again?

After this past year or so, I mean it more than ever when I say this place genuinely has saved my life some days. Just to have an outlet to talk, read stuff, be supported or just distracted by utter nonsense. It's very much a safe space for me and I'm incredibly grateful for it and the people on here.

It must have been 23 years since I first joined as "PAFC".  And some 22 years since the likes of dopper, Stu, CTX, TDK, TMA, Matty C, neil, AJ~, Millard and I (might be others I forgotten) would just chat bollocks on #theukff on ChatIRC, live commentating on what was on telly at the time, sometimes until 6am in the morning. Those times absolutely saved me from going off the rails, in all honesty.

Absolutely fun times all in all!

As one of the UKFF's newest members (along with @BomberPat) I've only been posting for coming up on a decade and a half. 

It's the Viz of forums, and that's as high a praise as I can give anything. My life would be a lot emptier without this place, which is perhaps a 10% indictment on me, but is mostly because it's actually bloody great.

Oh, to go back and talk to myself from all those years ago.

Bad news; you’ll still be obsessed with this stupid bollocks.

Good news; they eventually do push the cruiserweights.

I suspect you'd just brandish a crumpled, faded copy of Seth Rollins' headshot and you'd just have time to yell 'BEWARE THE ARCHITECT...' before fading back into your own timeline.

I thought the "massive asterisk" was gonna involve some dodgy tracing of the boards' origins back to 1966, which would make it predate ARPANET. So, in the interests of being the resident pedant around here, I feel the need to point out we're talking about a silver anniversary here, aren't we?

Wasn't in any of the predecessor (or rival) forums but did start lurking after about a year, then decided to dive in and

Total brain fart - fixed now thanks!

And YES - if you haven't donated to the running costs, please consider it... https://donate.ukff.com/

I’m not sure if it’s a PayPal issue or because the link is a little older, but just a heads up - it doesn’t seem to be working at the moment. If it’s the former, I’ll try again later.

Happy anniversary all! 🎉

We all know that in reality, the finest forum in the history of Our Great Sport can trace its lineage back to 1908.
