Honestly can't remember... about 4 years ago.
I was a reader rather than a poster. Only started posting regularly about a year ago.
I've never posted on Queenonline forum... can't stand that place!
probably when I was looking for some audio/video files a few years back. I wish there was a back-up of the old forum, I'd love to read all the stupid shit I posted in 2000 :D
After the old Queenrocker forum went tits up a few years ago. In those days the Queenzone forum was frowned upon for having an over-enthusiatic mod and a (terrible) 'Queen fanstasy board'.
After the mod was dropped a load of us came in and shaking ourselves round a bit. The golden age was just after the old Queenzone board crashed and we all had to start again. Fatty's stories, Chad's 100 paragraph posts, Gingababe setting my imagination on fire, T_M's Dr Who fixation, Eggy and Raspy, Dem and Eric, Miss James' birthday posts, Bob's Harley, the merciless baiting of Dark (which I do regret)then Jake (which I don't) and basically discussing Queen in an intellgent way. We had a lot to talk about what with The musical, Party at the Palace, Robbie's WATC, Pepsi ads, Brian and Roger in adverts.
But as they say All good things................
I've been trying to remember, and I believe for me it was through Google also.. an actual message from here came up in search results.. so I had a look around and it seemed like a somewhat small, family-like environment and the people seemed cool.
Later I stopped smoking crack...
