Rovertech long term members

[Jason36]

I have been on here since it started, how many others have been on since it started.

What was the forum before this one, cant remember now. There was so much arguing.

[peteT16]

Roverload, and Rover200.com

I've been here a while.

[ZSx]

I've been here (in one form or another) since roverload and rover200 although not many people will remember me i guess since I have been very quiet the last few years! (still got video's of members cars from early 2000's at a castle coombe action day lol)

[Jason36]

Roverload, and Rover200.com

I've been here a while.

Roverload is what I was thinking of, Rover200 is even older.

[james3990]

I had just started secondary school

[stevedx]

Been here a while too

[Neill]

Same. Rover200 and Roverload although rarely post now as not had any rover for a while. Still hoping to buy back the GTI-T this year though.

[jase]

Unfortunalty I joined this forum late after we stopped using the yahoo group thing as my car was off the road (just bent my Gti so was being converted to a bubble)

I do effectively have the same car now as when i joined tho. And many parts on my car now I was using pre this forum starting. erk.

I was on the Mynheer forum before the ones mentioned above. That forum held loads of running arguments

[vinny19791]

I was on some earlier one early 2000s think first found rovertech in 2005, previous to that I was on performance metro.com 00-04

Agreed it used to be really busy back in the day and i needed to spend about 2 hrs on here to read all the new posts, i only need to be on here 15 mins now and im bored with nothing left to read.

[peteT16]

tis true, that it's not as busy as it used to be

[Semproxion]

I'm sorry, but I saw the title of this thread and instantly thought "willy waving contest"

Does it really matter if you've been here 10 years or 10 mins so long as you're contributing to the forum?

[Jason36]

Most people move on to bigger and better things, good to see a lot of people are still here.

[southside]

I started on rover sports club, then came here when that site closed down.

With less and less Rovers on the road we can't really expect it to be as busy as it was.

[Dave_ZS]

I've been here since 2007. So stick that in yer pipe and smoke it

[Marty]

Since 2003 for me

[Tritium]

Roverload, and Rover200.com

I would have loved to have been on here/Roverload etc when the community was absolutely booming. I bet the atmosphere was amazing!

Unfortunatly... back in the early days... i was an apprentice... pretty sure i was still on dial up two... hence only used the web once in a while ! i joined .org in 2005 when my 416 gearbox went beers up... i definitely was on dial up then !

Then i joined here in 2007, this now i had moved... and had broadband

Funny how much things have changed in such a short space of time

[RichMk3]

Ive been around since the early days, do more reading than posting thou

[edward22]

my oe rovertech user name is older than this one by a few years .

made some good long term friends through the rover clubs . and had a hoot along the years

any one remeber the rovertorque days ...... thats where i started . yahoo groups.

[brad]

been on hear for ages too

[bjrespect]

I'm a 2006 but added loads to the forum ha ha

Including the now over used bubble turbo conversion thread

[noonan mckane]

I'm sorry, but I saw the title of this thread and instantly thought "willy waving contest"

It's not everybody that's got a webcam, though. Probably something a bit more low-key for the 10th anniversary celebration, I think. We'll stick a pin in the willy waving contest idea, though. Maybe consider it for the 15th.....

[MickUK]

Been here on & off for years, even without Rover ownership

[noonan mckane]

I was a member of Rover800.net. It changed owners, and became Rover800.info. I got along really well with it's new owner (I'd even encouraged him to take it over) but had a huge falling out with him when he changed my sig line from "Vote Labour" to "I'll be voting Labour, but I won't be telling others what to think". I still don't think he saw the chronic irony of changing a member's personal signature to something he found more acceptable. 3 times he removed it. The first 2 times he just left it blank. When he added the "telling others what to think" thing on the 3rd occasion, I was out of there. I was furious. It was a brilliant site, a really useful resource (the owner, though an insufferable right-wing @rse, was an excellent mechanic, and knew the 800 range inside out) and I felt I contributed a great deal to it, and had enjoyed being a member, but I had to go.

It was Vard who led me to this place. I'm glad he did. This place (or rather, the people in this place) have never let me down. Whatever query I make, or dozy theory I posit, it gets thrashed out, debated, taken to bits, solved, sorted. Usually very quickly and always very effectively. I like to think I chip in the odd thing, now and again, and I often feel quite pleased with some of my contributions, until I read a few more pages and realise what an absolute midget I am compared to some of the minds in here.....

I was greatly honoured when I was made the Poet Laureate & Hardy of Rovertech, and strive everyday to fulfill my duty as such. I am as drunk today as I have ever been, or hope to be.

A decade of Rovertech. Here's to the next gazillion years!!

[Dave_ZS]

Here's an idea for our anniversary

free stickers!!!

[rovermadman4825]

I have no issue with celebrating the anniversary of the site and I'm impressed that it's gone on this far but the opening line of the opening post:

"I have been on here since it started"

smacks of willy waving, as though being here from the start means you have a big e-chipolata and should be respected.

It's like your other half's first lover walking in the room as declaring you should respect him as he stuck his díck in her first.

This is a harmless thread, why do you have to spoil with your political correctness or your mention of willy's.

This is nostalgia for me, when you get to my age you will understand.
