Happy Birthday to - Soup

Not a fan of chat rooms, prefer the forums. Chat rooms are very reliant on all being on at the same time, also I like having the conversations for evidence, I mean posterity.

Sorry, I wasn't advocating 'chatrooms', I may have used poor terminology - just wondering how Regulars Reunited appeared as a concept - the title suggests ability to contact people you haven't seen down pub for ages, or can't remember from last night...

Ooops, completely got the wrong end of the stick there. You basically had the options of saying you were a regular at a pub or a visitor who wanted to leave a review.

I think if you said you were a regular, then any other member could send you an email through the site using a default template we created and at that point the sender gave away their email, it was up to the receiver if they wanted to reply and give away theirs. It was a while back though so I may have some of that wrong. I still have the old code somewhere, so I could just read it and see how it worked.

As far as I know it received no success sadly. However we did have a contact through feedback saying I know this reviewer, can you contact them and give them my email. It was a 2 year old review so I wasn't holding my breath, but they did get email me back and have stayed in touch. I still get regular updates as to how they are doing, so that has been one of the real behind the scenes highlights of the site.

Is it a year already - it seems like 3!!!!

It will be interesting to see how much you've aged since I last saw you at the start of the month.

Football starts in just under a fortnight. Are you feeling fit?

If you play like one you are about ready for Aston Villa (or Bristol City )

There is no need for that.... Never mind Europe - we are concentrating on the league ! (staying in it hopefully !!)

Back to the original point, I am another who registered ages ago and then did nothing. If it wasn't for Soupy ( Or Archivist - remember him ?) getting the board going I would probably have stayed in the background. As it is now this is my most visited website .. and long may it continue to be !

Or Archivist - remember him

ssshhhhhhhhh! never heard of him - he sounds like a right

I have Soups to thank for bringing me here from what had become a three ringed circus. No fall outs, no windups and no Moderators who insult the intelligence of the members. Some people may think it is inhabited by shed dwellers, BOFs and forum "Royalty". But those who think that way were responsible for the death of a good forum. The rest of us have found a Comfortable Shed here where I feel welcome each time I log on. I am lucky in my choice of forums or perhaps just picky on the ones I choose to join.

Spot on Arwkrite, sometimes though things happen for the better.

Couldn't agree more. I used to like the other site, but felt I needed to come out, and have enjoyed my time chatting here.
