I think Martin's put some exceptionally good bets up over the year, I can't find the post where he went through the card, or just about, but that was some tipping!

His first name was definitely Phil, he worked for Virgin Media at the time, and did me an offer. When I rang back for something else, the advisor mentioned he could see 'Phil' had applied an offer to the account :)

thank you for posting that, weirdly I can actually remember some of the posts :) So we are 20 not 21, I honestly couldn't remember if it was 1999 or 2000 we started and obviously, just like when I like 2 horses in the same race, I went with the wrong one :D It is a shame some people have left...

Back in 2002 we had 107 members, and 4202 posts Today we have <dt style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline; color: rgb(62, 62, 62);">Threads</dt> <dd style="margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline; color: rgb(62, 62, 62);">15,106</dd> <dt style="margin: 0px; padding...

Just to clear that up as I knew it would get mentioned and forgot to go over it lol. We started using vbulletin from 2003, which will be the earliest registration date for anyone, mine is 1st May 2003 I think. However, we were around before that using a couple of different forums, one of which...

So, from memory, we set this forum up in 1999, so are 21 this year! Edit: Thank you to Lesley - we are actually 20 on the 5th December I'm honestly amazed we lasted this long, considering I just flung a free forum up when Channel 4 gave us about 90 minutes notice they were closing the racing...

With all the racing finished now until after Christmas, and many will probably be too busy after today to visit for a few days, just wanted to say Happy Christmas to you all, hope everyone has a great day :)

I think everything is working again now. As you can tell from the time, it has taken a while, so off to bed now, but if there's any more errors please pop them in the comments below and I'll have a look when I get up, sorry for the downtime over the past few days :(

Well done everyone :) and big thanks to everyone involved from both forums :)

Nice second there Kauto :)

Breaking Bad (and Better Call Saul) are marmite, I loved BB and BCS is close to being as good, but if you don't like it, then you don't like it :) If you did like it then the movie is worth watching to find out what happened to Jessie if nothing else.

was just going to post this I don't think I've ever seen a bookie closing settle any ante post bets as winners before, wish I had a couple of hundred on a 100/1 shot for Cheltenham lol

Thanks to everyone involved in the running of this, its a lot of work :) If anyone has twitter/facebook followers that are into racing at all, it might be good to share this to see if we can get others involved in the forum :)

Almost up to post number 20,000 in this thread :blink:

Totally agree, just set a twitter account up (@talkinghorses4) and will finish it off at some point over the next week :)

Lets hope the Skybet team keep most control over stuff as their offers are much better than PP/BF ones!

The forum has always gone quiet over the summer months, this is definitely a jump focused forum, not that there was ever a push for that, just the way it has evolved. Unfortunately, forums are dying a death everywhere, ones that were massively popular 10-15 years ago, are now gone, or shadows...

Everymatrix have pulled out the UK market completely now

I don't disagree with you, but people won't register if they can't see what they are registering for. How many times have you googled something, clicked a link, been met with 'sorry, you need to register to read that content', then clicked back and went to the next result? I do it all the time...
