When was CBF setup , who were the first few members (except scunner)
and how many members do we currently have ?? just curious
Gav ;)
-
Click on the Members tab - that will tell you :)
Number of members is at the bottom of the main menu page under statistics.
-
Aha
3rd September 2003
Me on my own for 6 months
No not really, first members still present and actively posting were/are Legless, Stoop, Rimms, Crabbit, Jenny, all joined within first 48 hours.
Members now, 5725
-
Did you know those listed before setting up the Forum[?]
-
cheers ,well all in all great idea , great forum :D
-
I think I'd met them all prior to the forum, maybe not Stoop. I had to wait a little longer for that pleasure.
-
Yet to have the pleasure of meeting any of those "listed".
-
This is mildly interesting - in the first week we went up to 47 members, then nobody at all joined for over a week. I'm not even sure I realised that :)
-
Just out of interest - when was the busiest week for people to join? And why do you think that was? :)
One other thing, what is the highest number of people online on cbf at the same time (the old set-up used to show this, and was very interesting. I was really fed up cos the busiest evening was a night when I was on my way home from Calis!!) :)
-
Scunner and I had never met but had spoken via another forum if I remember correctly. After 6 years I met Legless for the first time last month - and he is my next door neighbour in Turkey!!
Seems like yesterday it was all set up :)
-
The info was wiped but I think 313 was the highest simultaneous number viewing at the same time. I can't really tell you the busiest week, but 2004 had the most new members joining, although 2009 is looking like it may well beat that. I used to do a monthly stat post but I got the impression that only I was interested :)
-
It maybe a difficult question but what's the biggest single change in the Forum that you've seen since 2003

Easy - getting rid of Garry Carr:D
-
who?
-
I think the biggest change was the way it went from a place where everyone seemed to know each other to a place of hundreds and hundreds of people many of which would never meet :) The strange thing with that was that in the early days, we'd get far more people turn up for something like a CBF night than nowadays. Far less members but more attended CBF nights, I can't explain that...

I know I should probably know the answer, but are they still held regularly and if so where

more is less so the saying goes[?]
-
Isn't it less is more :D
-
Not if your backwards ;)
Or perhaps I should have said "never mind the quantity feel the width!:D
But on a serious note people probably feel much more connected to the area through the forum and do not feel the need to meet up quite so much now. This is certainly true for me!
-
It's a strange thing but nowadays I stand in the que at the airport and look at people and wonder whether they are on the forum.
-
Rimms, me too ! in fact I know someone was on my flight last month, and i saw someone at the airport who I really thought must be her - but I was just too darn shy to say...Hey, its you off the forum ain't it ??!! Kick myself now.
-
Perhaps we should wear badges. We could even have stars on them to show the level of seniority on the forum. Scunner could have a gold one so when we see him we can bow in a "we are not worthy" fashion:D
-
Actually - I do exactly the same as Rimms and Pookie. How about having some instantly recognisable baggage and hand luggage tags with a CBF logo? £1 each to go into a favoured pot/pots ? Be able to help each other with baggage weight hassles for example - just a thought.x
-
You can already get the belts that go around the case with your names on, why not put your user name and cbf on there.
-
Make your own, copy the CBF logo on to a word document, perhaps put your username on the otherside, print it out in colour, laminate and attach - see all those years of Blue Peter did not go to waste.

It's funny 'cos I just stand in the queue at airports and just hope theyr'e not going where I am ! ;)
-
Hi I miss the bit of information at the bottom of the main page that told you which other members were visiting the forum at the same time as you. Is that going to be available again? :-\
-
Puma we have still got our badges from the early days, they could become collectors items
Mark
-
See, if our mugshot avatars were back, we might recognise many more people in resort.
-
That's why I removed them
-
Thats why I never put mine on in the first place!! :)
-
Someone put a avatar on for me which on both occassions were closer to the truth than I care to disclose :-\

Spent 2 weeks wandering around Calis last month thinking there must be someone around from the forum but no way to find out. Then yesterday saw the "Guvens" post and "Highlander" puts his photo on and I realise that I spent 2 weeks having chats with him. He was staying in the Villa 3 doors from us......... Yes we need I.D. ha ha

Maureen...I have to admit it is true!!!...
how much do I dislike having Gavos999 on this forum coming up with all these truth threads!........Sons, who would have em eh:D
-
:) June its better being the watcher, not the watched. ;)
-
I knew I joined pretyy early but I didn't realise it was in the first week! Where have the last 6 years gone?!
Oh Gary Carr, the memories lol!!!!
-
memories indeed,
remember the outdoor pop concert,
My new job at the British Consulate.
What fun
Ron
-
was there really a Garry Carr or is it the one off the telly.
-
There definitely was a Gary Carr, Moe :)
-
Sitting on the Prom minding my own business, a couple walked by and one nudged the other one and said thats the bloke from the forum isn't it, yea it is, came the reply, then they walked on and ignored me. :(
-
They must have met you before hehehe
-
Yes, it occurred to me at the time that I would make more friends by remaining anonymous ;)
-
Thinking about it, maybe they did say "that's the bloke from the forum" but thought you were Colwyn :D
-
That must be it, he wears a soppy hat as well. :D
-
Rimms I think I still have my t shirt from the Ernur party! That was back in 2005 wasnt it?
