When did you join..

Quoted from Chalky

I first came on here 12 months ago just to say hello before you visited Meadow Lane in the plsyoffs

County did a Town today, last minute equaliser to take to extra time then score then a last minute winner.  
Go on and beat Chesterfield, Notts deserve to get promoted.
Cannot stand Chesterfield, so will be rooting for you.

I can't think of a better post to give my gold star to Yard Dog 😎

Ex Electronic Fishcake.

You should not be here today of all days Chalky! Well done for being on the right side of the drama today.

I was on the old Fishcake as an immature kid, was on Grim Outlook for a bit and then came here 2010 I think. Gone through phases of posting a lot and barely checking in.

Quoted from Gainsbro_Mariner

Started on the Rivals Electronic Fishcake site during the 1999/2000 season  (I was 14 years old  ) …vividly remember Billo and Rob running it back then when the format was really simple, every team had a site and you could use your same login to go and post on other teams forum.

Can’t remember when the split happened though.

Rivals.net iirc, until the platform went bust a few years later. I can certainly remember the Electronic Fishcake before it moved over to Rivals, and the email mailing list which, I think, pre-dated the forum.

That would have been late 1998 I think, so I’d have been about 13 at the time. Mad just thinking about it; almost 25 years ago. At the time, the internet seemed new and exciting and Town hadn’t turned shìt yet, which was unknowingly exciting in itself.

If anyone fancies a bit of nostalgia, here’s what the Fishy, and its forum, looked like 20 years ago:

Some usernames you might recognise on there, plus an old moniker of my own. A lollipop if you can guess which one. P.s. it wasn’t “Hangliding Jesus”, which remains one of my all time favourite Fishy usernames. I reckon that that one belonged to chaos or that bloke who fosters voles…

Great to see that mate, and some of the old usernames, sadly missed. I was on the electronic fishcake with another name (not Hangliding Jesus), then I went to Grim Outlook, then came back to the fishy when the GO faded away.

My guess for your old moniker Poojah would be Strangepants.

Been here a while although don't post as often as i used to and still slowly labouring on towards that 10K post lol.  I can't remember exactly but i think i had a different username before the site was closed and re-opened, then a remember chasing around sending messages to ex fishy members that the site is now backup.
