tomturd Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I used to run Tenby Trials years and years ago, around the time of the Trials Kings (although we certainly weren't anywhere near as good as them..)Then I started a forum called 'mtbforum.virtualave.net' for tenby trials, and over time invited all the other small trials websites about at the time to join the forum, and set up a separate section for each site. Notably with danny from CR trials who I spoke to a bit on msn, he was also a dab hand at html so he was made an admin and we ran the site together.That got closed down by virtualave because I was hosting videos on there, and wasn't supposed to be.So started trialsforum.virtualave.net - same thing as mtbforum really.Then one day I decided to register trialsforum.co.uk - not sure why really, but the forum seemed to be taking off more than tenbytrials was, so the forum got its own domain - which I redirected to the virtualave.net site.That was all run on an old forum software called ikonboard (I think biketrials.com still uses this for their forum) - but the bloke who wrote the software got bought out, and eventually started writing invision (the software we use now). Danny was the first to install that after a few server crashes and nicked member number 1 in the process (b*****d) Theres loads of what it used to look like on archive.org.
