The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I often think about the history of these forums, and how things used to be. That's not to say they've declined in quality over the years, but as with most things, you keep them going long enough and you'll find people complaining that things ain't what they used to be.
Anyway, I got to remembering some of the good times while bored at work today (a regular occurence) and yeah, it might be a bit sad, but some of the memories really did make me smile. UKchatforums.com must be my most visited website ever (still my homepage) and despite it just being a collection of poorly-designed .gif images and text-speak, sometimes it genuinely manages to make me laugh out loud (LOL).
So... in the spirit of one of my Shiznit lists, I want your top UKchatforums.com moments of all time, from throughout history - it can be favourite users, brilliant moments of realisation or just your favourite threads. I'll get us kicked off with a few memories that brightened up my day.
THE BELLDANDY SAGA - I've never had so much fun berating someone over the internet as I did with Belldandy. Probably still floating around somewhere under a newly mysterious (very probably Manga-related) username, Belldandy was NEVER WRONG. Even if he was, he wasn't. And if he really was, then he'd run away and not come out to play, until the next time he was wrong. It came close to bullying at a few points (I used to get his emails) but it was coming from both sides: Goaty, Light, Pandy, myself and others (all anti-war and common sense) versus the one man righteous army of Belldandy.
The Belldandy saga reached a hilarious conclusion, when on one of his many mysterious reappearances under another nick (HALO Fan), he was sussed by the lot of us and nevertheless proceeded to dispute it for several months, despite have all the curt mannerisms and blind flag-wankery that good old Bell had. It stopped being fun when we finally saw a picture of him on Special Observe, then realised our physical name calling was disturbingly prophetic.
There have been others, but none as more fun to bait as Belldandy.

Well if you are Ms Thraves, Kore, tell Grix I said 'hi'.
EDIT: That might sound a bit gay, but I liked Grix. You know when you come on the forum, and you scroll down the page to see who's been posting? If he'd started a thread it would be one of the first I'd check.

Anyway, went back to an older thread and when I clicked on "Ms Thraves", up came Kore's details.

He makes the occasional return under a different pseudonym. Very, very rarely though.

It's probably Celestine under a new name, bros.
Yeah, was wondering that
Kore, who the hell are you?

Really, that's a shame. I don't see why, unless it was unrelated to the forums.

I remember he used to, back when they started.

Gerrid, he would have left regardless. And, for the ill-informed, he never read the Light v Celestine episodes, nor found a need to come to any defense.
He is -still- one of the best Notables.

Gerrid, he would have left regardless. And, for the ill-informed, he never read the Light v Celestine episodes, nor found a need to come to any defense.
