Calling all original Forum members

Recommended Posts

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 :D

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. :)

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 :lol:

He looks like a certain ex-broom-cupboard CBBC presenter, although I can't say which one because he once told me off...

Freedom of speech is very limited here these days.

We're beginning to think its being run by spooks.

Try here instead:

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?

You do yourself a disservice sir. Don't you mean 281?
