Post number 7687 seemed like an appropriate time to resurrect this thread.

In fact, let's make this thread into the 'thread resurrecton thread".

So come on, old timers, what threads do you remember from the days of yesteryear? I tried to find the 'I am The Best' thread which someone mentioned the other day, but the new 'search' functionality doesn't seem to be up to much.

The thread necromancer strikes again!

I don't know the exact number of posts I have but the last time I checked I was above 9,000! Scary stuff. I recall when I first joined the forum. Being a regular in a forum was a new experience for me (I've been lurking around a couple, non-F1 related and joined a few to make specific questions about porn...ermmm...about how to avoid it, of course...ermmm...nevermind :whistling:)

I've been around since 2006 and as most old guys know there have been many different stages in these venerable forums. My favorite was I guess sometime around 2007 with the few usual suspects that are still around plus good old Bruce, Mike, John, Ykick, Edu, Muzza, Ankit, Cav, Ben, the Ozzie twins (Jez and Nathan) and many others. At the time, the forum was the pinnacle of surrealism, at times!

The infamous "Ykick" virus face thread was an all time high. It surprised me because everybody instantly got the idea and it was exhilarating.

One tradition this forum has maintained always was  the sense of friendship above the mere need to discuss F1 relateed stuff. We are not just "that McLaren fan". That helps to make more interesting posts than "haters will be haters", "alonso is faster than you" and "not bad for a number 2 driver" every two posts :D That is because we mostly respect each other (except for George and Paul, nobody respects them. That would be disrespectful)

I recall the wars with Cav (yeah, whenever he got involved chaos surely ensued, he had this talent to somehow make everybody mad at him and then mad at each other). I recall the origin of  the "spec rear wing" joke as well, again, it is good when we all get the joke instantly and everybody joins the fun.

Even after all this years and feeling like an old guy with more memories than present in the forum, and feeling like leaving this place many times as well, I somehow find myself coming back again and again and again.

Mike described this right when he compared this with the pub from "Cheers".

Exsqueeze me??  I think you will find George and I are one half of one of the most famous bands ever.

We tried to shoot you before you got to 10 posts :whistling:

I liked the ykick virus, that was pretty good.  I miss ykick actually, would be nice to see him around again.

I think one of my favourite moments (and I am pretty vague on the details now) but somebody had posted some fairly revealing pix and Cav had opened them, not knowing what they were, while in an airport, I think it was.  Good stuff. :lol:

Memorable threads... I missed this one but there are many. I remember I opened a thread for my 1st post and I was welcomed by Cav: Your vid is gay. It was a DIY vid about Alonso. :lol:

It was great when you could search from your very 1st post in your profile. It was fun reading some past arguments. Now it's gone but from time to time I manage to find an old thread on Google.

Guns, creationism vs evolutionism, global warming, religion, semen jokes, porn, music, guitarists... And of course F1. Best moments I remember laughing so hard it was painful or it was something deep that made my eyes wet.

Fray Luis de León said:

Fray Luis de León wrote mystical poems which prompted Cervantes to proclaim León "a genius who astounds the world and who, in ecstasy, might rob us of our senses." León was also an active man who taught at the University of Salamanca, translated classical and biblical literature, and wrote on religious themes. Twice denounced before the Inquisition, he was imprisoned for "heresy," though he returned to the University to later hold the chairs of Moral Philosophy and Biblical Studies.

Tradition has it that he began his lecture the first day after returning from four years' imprisonment with the words "as we were saying yesterday..."

I think I remember the ykick virus but I don't remember being part of it? I was probably lurking when that happened! The "Cheers" analogy is well observed and definitely this place's strength. I suppose the reason for that is probably just the amount of posters, once you get a certain amount it's no longer the conversational style of posting and you lose the personal aspect. In that respect, I'm glad this place isn't too well known Posted Image
