I remember the days of waking up and reading the old board and world war 3 had kicked off over something minor. Big ass thread scrolling all the way down the page with death threats and stuff. Unreal.😂

Trying to remember the posters when I first started posting and where they are now…. The likes of Hippy, SKC, Deafboy, Fookov was on there aswell and has been mentioned already. Are these people still around. There’s tons more but they are the ones I remember way back then. I can remember when you used to have the full version of your username, before it was shortened to PSP. I started posting on Marions midway through the 2002/03 season but very rarely, and then really joined in towards the end of 03/04. This is the earliest crawl of the board, March 2001 - web.archive.org/web/20010413172644/http://members3.boardhost.com/marionsboard/Notice even back then Marion is warning of dodgy boardhost servers and software in the header of the site: IF YOUR MESSAGE FAILS TO APPEAR OR SUBSEQUENTLY DIS-APPEARS IT IS THE FAULT OF THE SERVER AND NOT MARION. 🤦♂️ I remember using the board before you had to register, but I can't remember when exactly that was. Don't remember this though; unsurprisingly dramatic: web.archive.org/web/20050506190000/http://members3.boardhost.com/marionsboard/Perhaps it was after that. I was definitely using the board in early 2006 though.

It was brought in due to various culprits pretending to be other posters, Hippy did the first mass registration circa 2004 if I recall correctly 🤔

I wasn't aware of Dormousegate until now. I didn't realise Marionsboard was such easy pickings! My mistake it was a wood mouse, I think we should just call it mousegate to be on the safe side.

Also worth mentioning it's a year this week since this board really took off/the Great County Message Board Beef 2020. Personally, couldn't be happier with it. There's very little admin for me and TRE to do as there's rarely any bickering or squabbling like we used to see and we've had absolutely no issues with performance, slow downs, down time etc. Thanks to everyone for joining in, contributing with posts and those who chip in with ad-free views. Long may it continue. How are we looking on ad-free views? Given my time spent on here, I probably owe it a birthday present...

Unreal.😂 Most of that passed me by, but the multiple threads for the same topic and impossible threading/reply system really got me.

We've got a few in stock as we've got a few very generous posters who donate every month but more are always welcome. On a busy match day we can burn through thousands so any contributions are gratefully accepted. It's worth saying that the ad-free views only used by registered posters too, so they're not being used up by lurkers. So we could potentially have 60k views on Sunday, which is what we've had before for big games, but maybe only 20k-25k of those would be used out of the ad-free pot, because the lurkers would get served adverts.
