[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 151154, member: 2"] I started this site on Boxing Day 2005 because I had just started making websites, was bored, and although I used Rebel Scum, didn't know of any UK based forums. So I set it all up, and then realised that I had to actually try and get people to come on here :lol: To start with I put listings on Ebay with links to here, but Ebay soon caught on to me. Luckily a few people did see the links and joined, and it just snowballed from that really. There has always been little to no advertising, spamming, coming up with gimmicks for people to join etc. And I think that's probably why people joined and still come back, it is a simple site with simple rules. Gary's right, in 2006 when it had got pretty big I had to move it to a faster server, and accidentally lost all of the users and posts :oops: [/QUOTE]
