Too bloody long is the answer.  

I was on the original GTFC e-mail list (originally organised by Billo, I think?) back in the days before forums existed. Ah, the sound of dial-up modems squeaking and squawking away and costing a flipping fortune as the 14.4Kb connection finally kicked in.

Kids today wouldn't believe how primitive the early years of the web were in comparison to today!

Since "January 7, 2008, 3:10pm"

Although I guess that's when I registered on 'The New Fishy'. I mostly browsed the version that existed before that, but rarely posted as I hated the way posts appeared 'threaded' rather than in the message board format we have now. Spent most of the 2000s posting on Grim Outlook (it's hayday) instead.

Started with the Electronic Fishcake as "TeesinYork", showing my age.

I was more as as a lurker than a poster.  Probably because I did not have a computer at the time.  I had to use a keyboard linked to software on a TV.  This was very slow and prone to error.  If I was commenting on a mid-season game, by the time I posted it would be the close-season.

Since it began  

There was a forum on the old grimsby.org site but hardly anyone used it. We then moved to Rivals where the forum really kicked off, there was a brief period when Sky took over Rivals but I hated the look of site so went independent again. Which by and large has continued until the present day. The emphasis has gradually shifted almost totally to the site being a forum.

Fancy getting 'Cod Heads' back up and running Rob?


It's never really stopped. Just people never asked about it and I never chased anyone! Happy to start it again.
