July 2003 for me, I remember when it all kicked off on the RSOC, think I gave up forums for a few months before joining PF. Still got the ERST I had when I joined!

Shings

Aye up...

Yep the accounts nailed the coffin shut for a while but there were other times, Dingy and I managed it once too...

Shings

I think we should have a founders section for those with May 2003 in their title as without us and the RSOC the site wouldn't be here now....

Also remember when the RSOC added Passionford to their swear filter PMSL

Can anyone remember dingy and USL whispering sweet nothings to each other - I think it was Donno or Pod?

MadMac

I joined just before or just after the meltdown. So much has happened since then.

I've changed from the optimistic dreamer I was, constantly getting shot down to a grumpy and cynical 30-something

Some of my best and most reliable friends are off here. Oranoco being one of them, it's scary to think I've known him now for eight years!

August '03 for me, favourite forum back then was fiestaturbo.com. Getting old!

I think their servers were too busy....

Shings

It's a very long and complicated story that dates back to the days before time began.

But think along the lines of...

Little support from the main group for the little groups, in fighting, lack of freedom of speech, home truths coming, accounts being posted on the website.

RSOCBB was brought down and we all needed somewhere to bitch about it haha.

the ones who paid to keep this site going should of been given shares in it....we would of made a few ŁŁ by now, it is what is is now because of the one who contibruted.

that's a blast from the past!!!!

i can't remember what the group was called, maybe modifications uk or soemthing and there was a link to there whens omeone mentioned pf and "seeing how i was a ford nut and all"

i remember logging in and there was a different pic of a bird every day and i didn't think i was going to like it.......

Cossie Sean

Passionford was also on the top 10 ford sites, thats how most of the non RSOC peeps visited IIRC

PF was spawaned from hatered over RSOC lack of site useage and mods being power crazed........ nooooooooo....... its not the same
