Rusevelt Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Just curious to know about the main players who founded the forum from the start, how many members joined within the first year of the forum's official launch, number of website revamps, the usual historical stuff? What about other uk online forums before this one that didn't survive but inspired other forums to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about other uk online forums before this one that didn't survive but inspired other forums to start? well ive been here since november 2002, if i remember correctly this was about the time where all of TF went down and everyone had to re-register it did say at some point what member number you were and if i remember correctly when i re-registered i was number 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) I think it was here sometime between 2000 and 2002, such a long time ago I can't remember. I remember registering way before the server crash, back when I cared about my post count.......i think i may have been browsing the trials kings forums and found trials-forum through there. Think my member number was around 110. Wheres the time gone? Mad. Edited April 22, 2010 by Trials Punk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I was here before the crash, but had gone away by the time it happened, hence my join date being a while after. Normal route of trials kings forum then over to here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyoyo Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Started on Trials Kings, then eventually followed people on to here, number 301 after the crash i think. Then Trialskings pretty much died Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Its mad that the Tenby Trials site is still running-ish - Here. I'm trying to work out if this wall is from somewhere in/around Tenby: As it looks so fun to ride, but I've never seen it around here. If its from another town, anyone know where?

Rusevelt Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 So what has been key to the growing success and reputation of trials-forum uk where other forums had failed ie; better content, links, bitching, advertising, uk riding scene?

pav Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Here is a funny little fact about my membership on this site; I joined in 2004, but did not get full member approval until this week. This is not a go at the moderators or anything by the way, its just because I signed up and didn't really use it until recently! I thought it was pretty funny none the less though!

ellingtj Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Took me quite a while to find TF forum, previously I was on biketrials.com and before that the trials mailling list before the forums were around (circa 96). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
