I remember you too, but I'm not sure if it was from here or another forum. You had a photo of yourself in your signature.

8 years, was it still beehive back then, or was it NPCFF?

NPCFF.

First version of Beehive was June 2002.

Still here, oscillating between forum eminence grise, which is odd because there are at least two griser than me, and forum dirty old man, which is more deserved.

Currently writing from the poolside of the Mayer Luz Apartments, Praia da Luz, by the wonder of rather expensive wireless.

yo yo mikee how are you, you still in leeds? what you upto now?

I think much of the time away I forget the move from the delphi forums to NPCFF then to beehive so its probably less that 8 years away hmm I think many years have become a blur.

How long ago were the days when we used to meet on the newsgroups? It did start there didn't it? I rememer reading those while at uni which was about 8 to 9 years ago. When did we move over to Delphi?

Yep, it all began on the PC Format newsgroup in Aug/Sep 1998;

Moved to Delphi around Mar/Apr 1999;

In May/Jun 2001, Future switched to hosting their own crappy software, and the core of the PCF forum broke away and formed NPCFF;

A year later, June 2002, and Delphi/Prospero had gone shit, with Beehive and Teh Forum emerging from the dung heap.

And now we're an active community.

 

We develop and host our own Forum and preach the good word of Beehive software technology on the net (whilst waiting to get sued by Delphi)

 

and by preach, we mean slap Matt on the back and say encouraging things to him when he needs us too. Oh and dig deep when it comes to hosting bills.

 

We've had our first forum baby (and second? have they had two?) with Yve and Wibbly who met through here.

 

I think we're waiting on JohnGT to do the decent thing as well on that front.

 

We make our own mix tapes. Such Classics as Teh Workout Album, Teh Summer Album, and Teh Winter Album.

 

We finally got rid of our resident troll: Trigger (although he will be back).

 

Paul is still offering cake and cider to all comers

 

Manthorpe is still offering pearls of wisdom to the masses

 

Xen is still refusing to meet the masses.

 

Oh and we're about to have our not very annual anuual awards ceremony..
