Not long as BlackandWhiteBarmy2. As the one and only original BlackandWhiteBarmy I came over in the wake of the demise of the Electronic Fishcake where I was a star. Then there was the infamous football/non football split, although I can't remember if that was on the Electronic Fishcake or not, anyway that lead to the formation of the Grim Outlook and my departure. I think I then came back but ran into a period when Mr Fenty was sort of vetting the posters and posts and I was denied an invitation. Eventually came back but people said I was obsessed with CHEESE and was spoiling it, I am obsessed by CHEESE but there is no way that discussion of CHEESE can spoil anything. So I left again. Then I rejoined but couldn't remember my old credentials hence the new account.

On this forum, in this guise 7 years. Was TW Area Town Supporter for a while before that. On the Grimmy before that and the Electronic Fishcake round the turn of the Millennium.
Highlights: football on the pitch Liverpool win. Off it, the Mexican invasion of Barnet/Operation Promotion.

I must be one of the young ones, for a change.

I must say I have thoroughly enjoyed it, different viewpoints, opinions, banter, and a unity ( bar 1 or 2) of Fenty out.

I remember when I created the Fishy I was drunk off with the new look Rivals (which Sky had bought and "redesigned") so I just created the new site and posted about it on the Electronic Fishcake, which Billo kept on running. Almost overnight everyone switched to this which I didn't expect at all, if you look at the first 100 people who registered, over half have made over 1000 posts and 8 over 10000. Only one person in that first 100 never posted, and they've been the bedrock of the site ever since. Many of them are still active.
marinette has the accolade of being the first registered user after me!
The postscript was quite a few of the more popular sites went their separate ways from Rivals/Sky and the whole thing folded not long after.

Any of the old Electronic Fishcake members remember when we ‘took’ other clubs’ boards?

I seem to recall that the original Electronic Fishcake was just a mailing list, which I joined about age 12 in the late 90s. There might have been a forum running alongside it, I can’t quite remember. The likes of Billo and Nicko were big contributors in those days. Is Billo still going? Haven’t heard anything of him in a long time.

He most certainly is. I was chatting with him at lunch time today.
