Cloud Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Oh man, where to start. It's hard to imagine that it's been over 15 years since I started posting on here :/ This thread for a start: Still never got hit by anyone for that, despite several threats. All the times at a gig someone asked me to ban Cloud Hahaha, no way! I mean, I'm not surprised It's amazing to think how this forum was the centre of everything at one point. Something would happen on the forum, and then everyone on Friday night in Moshulu or Exodus would be talking about it. You'd then get vague references on here to things that happened in real life, such as Bob Knight's adventures. I can't believe no-one here mentioned Camie's party, and THE HORSE. Christ. The Balmedie Beach Party, featuring a shocking amount of booze, people throwing up and more. I remember sitting on the back of the bus drinking with Emma and listening to Sugarcoma while clearly failing to be in any way cool. @Alkaline, were you there? What else... Hmm. Starfall and the "headlining" controversy. Milner winding up everyone in sight without actually anyone realising it Taking the absolute piss out of Ewan Cameron constantly, even to the point where people were recording songs about him and 'leaking' them through MSN There's more, I just need to think about it.

I don’t think I was going out with Emma at that point but I may have been there (there are a lot of parts of that era that are very hazy!)

Cloud Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Hahaha yeah, the same! Although I've just had flashbacks to licking the board outside Dr. Drakes because apparently it tasted of lemons. Sigh. More memories - - Ben Weapon getting involved in some ridiculous flamewars over incredibly petty things, yet being a nice guy in the flesh - Plenty of veiled references on here to who was sleeping with who, including one of the most brutal references ever - Everyone being known by their name here rather than their real name Funny thing is, despite everything that went on here, there's only one person that I could genuinely say was an absolute prick in real life because of what happened on here, and it wasn't anyone connected to Ben or Ben himself.

I suspect this would happen when any godawful band plays though. When I was in college, some of the band nights were brutal. There were some truly awful bands who got either sniggered at, or sarcastically rallied. There was one band in particular who had an example made of them by the owner of the bar just shutting off the power, but waited until they announced that it was their last song to do it for maximum devastation, then off went the amps. I wasn't at the Shutterspeed gig, but heard a lot about it. Sounded like any gig where a band is horrifically bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I was quite open about saying they were shit in the thread. There was no way I would’ve gone to their gig, the whole thing was cringeworthy. The puns went on for deys though...

I even got a mention from Ca-gere. The Shutterspeed thread felt like absolute gold at the time but reading back I actually feel pretty guilty. The Toxic Distortion thread was a good laugh and I continued to get from those guys for years afterwards. Soccerball was brilliant. We organised a few kick abouts in the park but for a while I remember organising regular games at Goals and Sports Village which were always a great laugh. Sad to see this place so quiet actually, I'd kind of presumed it was still just chugging away. Ps. When reputation was like currency and people took it hilariously seriously. "you must etc..."
