Early 00s I think. Have seen many WUM posters over the years PaddyOGall, Ballboy, Liathroidboy, TheMaster, Loyal2theRoyal. Some great posters of the past as well like Patrique, Hurlingdub, Cuederocket.... They could really enhance the forum by converting it to a Bulletin Board with user stats, avatars, ability to edit your own posts and so on. It hasn't really come on technically over the past 20 years. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 01/10/2019 15:17:19 2240669 Link

I vaguely remember something like some poster came on and told everybody he had passed away or have I my wires crossed? Dessie_Cross (Armagh) - Posts: 142 - 01/10/2019 15:28:13 2240672 Link
Jaysus good question. If memory serves me correct I joined around 2009 or 2010 though I had been a regular visitor for a couple of years before actually creating an account. Can't remember the trigger or who said what to make me go to the bother of having an account but something obviously annoyed me more than the normal things that annoy me.....

He suffered no fools and the place was all the better for him being here. I think that was either in 2010 or 2011? Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 01/10/2019 15:54:10 2240688 Link
Replying To cavanman47: "JayoCluxton was a good poster too. Is he around under a new username these days? Will be red thumbed for saying it but Snuff was a pain in the hole most of the time. Is Horse from Laois still here? Orlaith from Derry was the original Lady of HS, Jackeen. But you've well outlasted her at this stage! Jim from Wexford still gets my vote for the greatest post I've seen on here after the 08 hurling final. He disappeared afterwards. Seem to recall he posted an illegible message once about 2 years later but I could be mistaken." Oh jesus ye remember Orlaith! :) Jim's post will go down as one of the all time greats. Somebody posted it up again there only this year again. JayoCluxton lives on I'm sure. As does Loyal2theRoyal. Do you remember Moo Moo? Jaysus he was insufferable. Ditto the Master. Gas all the same.

There was another lad way back called Paidi the Saviour. He was around when Paidi O'Se was with Westmeath. I never had strong feelings about Westmeath either way but that guy made it difficult to like them. Two best posters IMO are Ollie and GaryMc82 (the chap from Derry). Both very fair minded. Think Ollie is still around, not sure about the other lad. Greenfield (Meath) - Posts: 522 - 01/10/2019 17:12:25 2240711 Link

I remember reading posts in 2007 but did not sign up until late into the 2008 season around the time of cork v kerry and cork v kilkenny semi finals..there wasn't much of cork voice to be heard on it back then and sort of the same today...don't post too often as I try go for quality posts rather than quality ;) pidge (Cork) - Posts: 543 - 01/10/2019 18:22:08 2240727 Link

Agree with all of this, i think it's just the dubs who championed snuff, i thought he was an a hole meself.. ruanua was another great poster! achara (Monaghan) - Posts: 561 - 01/10/2019 19:07:32 2240733 Link

Cuederocket was a poster I got on well with in the past. He's not on here ever now and I'd love to know that nothing had happened to him.

Replying To johnnos bulls: "Since 03/04 i'd say too. Ballboy was the man. He had a tenth of the country wound up." I've been reading the site on off for years but kinda forgot about it for a while and signed up about 2 years ago as it's my only place to chat GAA most times as I live abroad. As for Ballboy was he the "GODS or what" fella Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 01/10/2019 19:22:40 2240738 Link
i'd say i am here since around 2001/2001 Myself and Holymoly joined at same time Had some great debates down the years with the like of Fear an Srath Ban, Aidan Galway, Thomas Clarke, Jayocluxton, Shinners, Loyal2daRoyal etc Mes, I'd say your the one I know longest on here, yourself and Breffni? Didn't we figure we were both in the tide after the final in 13 but didn't realise it. Met Real Kerry Fan once or twice down the years. Patrique was great, God rest him. Few videos of him going around a while back in his Antrim gear :) Snuff is a legend. He played a stereotype and ye all fell for it :) Legend of a man!! Jackeen, I remember when you were only a kitten on here! Look at you know, the Queen of feckin Sheba!! :) Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 01/10/2019 19:39:19 2240741 Link
Around 2008. Had more time on my hands in the early post college years. A lot of the posters such as HagandChesse have long since disappeared. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 01/10/2019 19:44:41 2240742 Link

But in fairness there was no real harm to either them. Does anyone remember 51longago? Now he was insufferable. (Bit like me ) :) Favorite posters are furlong, Ollie, htaem, royallegend richieq. Realdub jackeen, and too many others to list. One of my favorite posters from Meath was bettystownroyal. Him and Ollie were hilarious when they got going. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 01/10/2019 20:07:35 2240747 Link

I think Jimbo is around a long while too. I think it was the Tide in 2011 maybe? Could be 13 either. It's a pub I tend to frequent a lot after matches!
