Thanks all.

If Boards stays around for a long time.....

How surreal is it going to be looking back at posts you made 20/30 years ago?

Very surreal I'd say. I must actually re-read some of my first posts.

This thread reminds me of a joke

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.

"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

By the way DJ think you'd better bring your brother Collie D to the imaginary bar, the lads in foul humour today!

Rather unfair taking a shot at Collie after he promised to ignore you for the rest of the day. But then I can't blame you for taking the easy way out as your form has slipped along with your third persona !

Considering I feel ashamed of almost everything I did last week, I would probably collapse and die if I read my boards.ie posts when I'm in my 50s

Cracking post there Slow Motion. One to look back on fondly when you're old and whizzened, remembering the glory days. Bravo!

Does this 'BGRH Versus Pighead' go on in a lot of AH threads now? I'm not around AH as much now so I don't know.

In 20-30 years, will every 2nd thread on After hours be on either tipping, roma's/polish/future day equivalent.

I want to be the first to *Bump* a 20 year old thread, with something really marginal like '+1'.

Don't think he's having a go at your members*, more a go at anyone in range.

*does Pighead have a go at your members often? [/double entendre]

Could be a pretty long and fruitless search. Don't think you'll find anything older than your first post

Unless you chnaged the settings in your CP, you are automatically subscribed to every thread you ever posted in.

Click on User CP at the top-left there. Under the list of subscribed threads click on View all Subscribed Threads. Then click on Last in the list of pages of threads. The last thread on that list will contain a very early post.

Check the oldest threads, you might recognise your first post in there somewhere.

My first ever post was fairly embaressing (hell i even remember writing it). Good thing i ditched that account after a year to cover my tracks!

Actually i'll have a look and see if i can find it. I know what forum it's in and it hasnt been the busiest of forums over the years.

/me grabs miners hat and gets digging.

EDIT: Found it, not nearly as bad as i thought it was (i really was trying to please) until my last post in that particular thread which strangley was never replied to. Ah the joys of being 17 and being a complete ass.

Yeah, thought it lacked the hilarity, and I'll be damned if I'm going to search for more than ten seconds.
