I've just read the first ten pages of The Music Discussion Thread
Memories for a few of us on here when we first joined MOT
Blimey the years have flown by
I joined only days after the site opened in 2003 - when Adam was 'UnitedLeeds' (at least I think he was from the beginning) and we were still in the Prem.
Posters included 'raveydavy', 'OzWhite' and many others, 9/10ths of whose names I've forgotten tbh.
It's a sobering thought (for some reason I seem to need them now and again) that I've been here for 14 years - not constantly but in spirit when not. It's a shame that a lot of earlier threads were lost - it would have been good to look at some of them.
