RosyRat Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 OH was one of the very first moderators on the brand new Forum& told me how brilliant the Forum was. I wouldn't have anything to do with it, as it was "his" thing. One day I looked over his shoulder & read a post from Basil Rathbon on a thread where we had to guess countries from clues. I was completely hooked. Then went with OH on a Forum meet & met Kristian, Meeks, Medusa, Sian, Purdy Amos, Medusa and other lovely people & have just somehow stayed. Although there are times when I've sworn I'll never get involved in another debate, but there has always been something worth while reading & discussing.

NorthernStar Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Soon after moving to Sheffield I was looking for information and general trivia about the place and begun reading all of your posts and found it quite informative and interesting for a non-native. Although I don't post too often it has developed into a bit of a habit and has cost me hours of what should have been productive work time, just because I don't want to miss anything.

L00b Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Great thread, sibon I was missing my daily dose of Boards.ie after coming back to the UK in August'08, and accessorily looking for a 'local' forum with a Classifieds section. Didn't take me long at all to find SF and, although it's nowhere near as varied in content and topics as Boards ( where I still lurk and occasionally post ), it is one of those very rare web forums which has that quasi-compulsive friendly banter, and seldom really angry words between dissenting posters. It's fun, helpful, cheeky, sometimes out there, and a great 'life resource'. It reminds me online every day, why I fell in love with the place and its people all those years ago, and still to this day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Tamudo Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'd known about SF for a few months and one Saturday evening I felt the need to join after reading the posts of one forumer who on various threads had been in three different places at once that afternoon.
