No, been around about a year. Mine's popped up so quite a few are probably seeing it at the moment.
Wow, don't think that's been seen for years! I think it could make a return.
Sadly not, there was an old-school message board for a few days initially just to test the waters. I remember manually copying each post in each topic (quite a few topics in just a few days!) over to the Ikonboard software. Sadly didn't keep a record.
The oldest thread is this page I randomly kept. The first complete thread is from when the BBC went off air in June 2001, then a Look North and Calendar thread from August. Things get a bit more complete in early 2002 but so far I can only find up to April. I assume the software was converted over from static files to a database around this point and then had the big crash in Jan 2003 which lost the lot.

Fairly trivial this, but was just thinking: I quite liked those 'Thumbs Up' Emoticons that used to be available - wonder why / where they went?

Is there any record of the first few threads?
