It's an achievement in itself for some of us to have lived that long!

Happy birthday and well done to all those (of the present and the past) who have made PC-Pals the success that it is.

happy birthday all


whats the background to Pals then, give us the details    how did it start etc.

[Rik]

You need someone from the older generation for that, Baz, it was before my time.

[Simon]

It basically started when a group of us that had congregated on another forum decided we'd rather run our own, so we did.  There's still a few of us left here too!    It was much easier to get a forum off the ground in those days, though, as we weren't competing with the likes of Facebook, Twitter, and a million other forums.

[Baz]

ah yes, I keep forgetting this Simon.

I used to visit the original forum...I think 

[Simon]

Ermmm, yes I think you did.

We were originally called ezpc_forum and the administrator was a chap called N*ck who was an utter moron and put ridiculous constraints on us all.  Some of us decided to up sticks and start our own forum which was much more relaxed.  Members could talk freely about the virtues of pretty sheep ..... oops, have I said too much?

Blimey - ezpc - that's going back some!
