Good Lord, all those names from the past.
There was a golden age for the forums for a while, a lot of posters, some real good ones and a club in trouble.
There were always those who did your head in and would drive others away, Rob was certainly one of them. I stopped going on match day threads because of him.
Charlie Austins Dad and Sitting next to Billy on the plane are my two favourites.
Also, "look east".
I'd spend hours arguing with Jimmy Gordon. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of pages with Jimmy at the center of the thread arguing with everybody.

Someone earlier reckons that Mark3210 is on here as Turkish.
Always enjoyed his posts.

Jimmy was great, he got the shit end of the stick because one or two didn’t like some of the stuff he posted so started arguing with him every time he posted (Jom being the obvious example).

There was also one poster who had 14 different accounts going at the one time on vital.
I remember when someone nicknamed him siteblighter. Then there was Jom with his incinerator rumours.

Confirmed gentlemen and such kind words
Now for those who go back to the really early days Tosh Lyons Frank Drebbin and the likes now that was comedy genius then there was Steve99 and the Aussie guy who used to do the comedy takes of him fantastic
I'm loving this forum it is like Vital pre 606 invasion where aggro came with it difficult to stop if you get big I guess, anyway I met Kev through Vital and we had many a drink together I remember being in the Larwood with him on the day Fawaz bought the club
My company used Seymour Pearce as a Nomad on the LSE and bizarrely I shared the same bloke as Fawaz was using to buy Forest, I used to feed Kev the inside track got a lot of crap for it wish I hadn't bothered and yes I had a short spell at Morecombe for a fan of the game it was an exciting year they needed fund raising and I could help at the time and I got to be Chairman for the day for a league cup game Morecombe 2 Wolves 0 Kenny Jacket was the manager and I got to go in the office straight after the game with Jim Bentley who sadly left this week, he is someone who should have got a shot at a bigger club
It was a token role in all honesty but good fun I got to an EFL meeting and a couple of overseas conferences it was very insightful and extremely intoxicating
Slightly longer than normal - I'll up my game

I started on Talk Forest, which wasn't too bad though there were some awfully bigoted, racist and xenophobic posters on there. Could never get on with LTLF and used to like Vital until it got stupid and childish with the in-jokes and the same people repeating the same garbage again and again and again.
Thankfully it seems that few to none of the bad apples from the other forums have turned up here - credit to the admins for running a tight ship.
Only me :D
