A thread from the old board in about 2007 - "How many people on here actually buy FF"

[Unicorn]

Edit - too slow.

I think my username back then was my actual surname which wasn’t the brightest idea considering it’s quite a rare name.

Some bastard mentally challenged replicated it by replacing two small “L’s” ( ll ) with two capital “I’s” ( II ), which allowed him to register what looked like an identical name.

He then proceeded to post all sorts of shite and outing me as a timposter.

Fair do’s to him, he had me going around in circles with me posting stuff like “ that’s no’ me, this is me” and he’d come back with ‘Naw it isnae, this is me”
You get the drift. It went on for ages. I can’t remember how it was resolved.

Admin probably kicked the newbie out.

While I was working away I used to get Family to pop over and buy the FF & No.1 for my return.
Second thing I did when I got home was read FF!!

The old days when the internet was black and white...

Paul’s newsagents in the Savoy Centre was a good stockist in the city.

Thanks for posting, I was about to embarrass myself by saying Sauchiehall Street Centre.
It could have been in a shop on renfield street. Not sure but it used to have tons of stuff. Even an American mercenary magazine in the 80s that I used to buy.

I can sort of remember this and everyone was trying to work out who was the fake

The good old days where people’s first post was met with 2 pages of, “sniff, sniff”

Must get round to cancelling the Direct Debit.

Pissing myself, an internet version of Nicholas Cage and John Travolta.

I bought No.1 and FF all the time when I had a season ticket, great reads.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

It was the anti Murray angle that got me interested in it and eventually writing in it.

 

[Angus Og]

Just clocked my old username.
I didn't realise it was that long ago.
Scary.

 

[BlueBritain]

Gorams_Glayva the man with the bangin Colombian secretary. Remember him asking her to hold up FF signs to prove she was real

Same. I wouldn't have known about how bad Murray was for us, or the RST, if it wasn't for FF.

Used to enjoy Majors, Gubs and Number Eights contributions, always on the money.

I've wasted half my life on FF

I've wasted half my life on FF

I’ve reckon that I’ve been on FF in various guises of board since about 2002 or so.
I’ve never been a prolific poster but know how much time it feels like I’ve spent trawling through pages... no idea how some of the heavy hitters find the time to function in other aspects of life!

Love how "ban" is Sucks first option

Bolivian!

 

[BlueBritain]

Bolivian!

I stand corrected and now assume you still have the pics.

Get them posted Sir.

 

[JD65]

Used to buy FF and Number One every time they still came out. Must have at least a couple of hundred in the house.

 

[Stefan__Klos]

Some of the Murray comments just show what an uphill battle the likes of the RST were fighting at the time.
