Three things that should be forever remembered on here.

I have a vague memory of the previous rtg board going batshit mental the night we won in the rain at st james... I think.

We infiltrated their message boards and held a poetry competition. Because we're rock hard.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Newcastle 1,
Sunderland 2.

I remember that. All started at 9am on the Monday after that match. Quite astonishing the sheer volume of poetry the Sunderland side put up by about 9.30 compared to the one or two Newcastle could muster. It was almost as if it was set up privately about a week or so in advance ....

10 years since i joined, not a prolific poster, but the amount of time I've wasted in 10 years on here, doesn't bare thinking about.

They are worth a fortune now. Strictly limited edition and the only T-shirt that RTG ever produced (it nearly bankrupted us!)

It’s no Mackenboozer t-shirt, though but

Tried to find the Moat thread. Searched everything from "gunman" to "wor rerl". No joy. I bet it was a corker.

Didn't he end up speaking to the radio reporter on the scene too?

We had people undercover

Wasn’t there an invasion of a clown forum one time?

Moat Caught

That should keep you occupied for a couple of hours

I only lurked then but it was absolutely brilliant, if I remember it was sort of calming down a bit then Gazza turned up. It was definitely pee your pants laughing territory

Yes I can vaguely remember that.

Yes I can vaguely remember that.

The bit I remember is someone on there complaining that the doors kept falling off their car

They didn't have as much of a sense of humour as you'd expect

Was there one for something bizarre like a hoover forum?

Mumsnet was done a few times. They're feisty them Mams like

Actually, this was the crowning moment of the internet:

And another reason why Android devices are better than iThings

That resulted in this:

It gets really interesting from page 24 onwards

It was an embarrassment for al those involved.

 

[Spennymackem1981]

i miss a good board invasion and the mad bastard who used to show of is cooking,,,those ribeye steak sandwiches were the Titts

Seeing off board invasions and questions was fun. One fan once asked on a message board what we knew about defender Patrick Collins we had at the time, as they may be signing him. It didn’t end well.

Trevor in Peterlee with no money for his bus fare was class. Greggs cheese pasty predicament IIRC

I liked the definitely legit copy of a bill hoisted up in '99 supposedly showing Paul Scholes had stayed at the Roker Hotel or somewhere around Sunderland. Sent some people into hysteria.

was Gold that.

Works Party Dilemma, the greatest thread ever.

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE, MAN

It would take a freedom of information request and tribunal to get me to divulge the details of a day spent off work and a detailed, timed, schedule of posting pre-prepared poetry using a variety of user names and nom-de-boards. So I'll not say anything

Except my favourite was the Jerry Springer message board invasion.
