  • Who remembers the old BBC forum BDE?

    Many a laugh we had on there before jumping aboard TSF. Nice to look back on lots of great questions and funny answers. I think I may have to post the links one by one, so be patient.

    Sign below if you were on the board, even under a different name!

          I'd have thought someone of your knowledge would have had a few points on there. Sure you didn't go under a different pseudonym?

          You can pick a point at any time in all those threads, browse through two or three pages and you're sure to find something amusing. I liked the little smiley's on there and the gold stars for getting a question correct! lol :snooker:

            Just dug this up...

            How many folks on here remember the old BBC fivelive forum?

              I certainly do. I remember it closed at 10 pm, a bit annoying. I've participated in the BDE thread and in many quiz threads as well. Shame about the way it ended with one of the mods going crazy and putting a lot of members into pre-mod, deleting threads and all.. I've learned a lot about snooker history/stats there.

                I remember it well, as my score indicates. I lived abroad back then and the forum was my only access to snooker so I was a lot more heavily involved.

                I'm enjoying posting more now, but can come and go as I please, which is healthy!

                    I remember it as well, it was a fun place. I used to browse through it every day until it was ruined by poor moderation. I found it hard to get used to this place at first, but the fact that a lot of members moved here was the reason I joined in the first place.

                    It's just a shame that some familiar members got lost somewhere along the way.

                            Well i'll have to have a rummage around the old brain and think of some more to get it going again!
