Andy   10 #73 Posted October 21, 2005 I remember when the 1000th person registered - we had a special thread, and Geoff made a special banner. There were no adverts in those days and C**vs hadn't been invented.  Aaaah the good old days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
A.B.Yaffle   24 #74 Posted October 21, 2005 Originally posted by DaBouncer Actually I'm probably one of the few people on the Forum to have met Geoff in person on a few occasions. Even went so far as handing out Sheffield Forum flyers in the early days to drum up some visitors for him.  In fact I even have his picture but I'm sworn to keep his identity secret... like Batman.  His picture has appeared in the Sheffield Star on at least one occasion. He didn't look much like a "Geoff" though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yeah you're right... when he first launched Sheffield Forum and he was leaning on a COmputer Monitor or something (IIRC).  You're right though, he looks more like a Gene than a Geoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Originally posted by CaroleK We've all been run off by the Nazi moderators here. Freedom of speech is very limited here these days. We're beginning to think its being run by spooks. Try here instead: http://s13.invisionfree.com/Rovvrem/index.php?showtopic=508 44 people can't be wrong!  Nazi moderators? Well they might look fetching in the uniforms. As P.J. O'Rourke once asked - How come no-one ever fantasises about being ravished by a person dressed as a liberal?(or words to that effect). But they are not Nazis. Not in any meaningful sense - in a "Rick from the Young Ones" sense possibly. But that would be about it.  As for freedom of speech - the art of excercising the so-called 'right' to so-called 'free speech' is a generous dose of self censorship. Just as the art of living in a free society is a generous dose of self-policing.  Of course all of this depends on your definitions of free society, speech, freedom etc. But it helps to use consensual definitions. Maybe we should define our terms? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
