    Default Fondest DF Memory.

    So, we are all having a revival and that is giving me a warm fuzzy feeling.

    post up the best moments on DF you can remember and help me get back into the DF life.

    for me it was the pets, abuse of them was epic, shit biscuits were more valuable than bitcoins.

    i am grinning already.

    Thanks to wakadoo

    Hi
    Best memories for me have been the many times friends on here got me out of shitty situations, golden advice, helping hand or a listening ear. have had some shitty times too though when I made an error of judgement and admins been brutal, and hall of shame.
    Outstanding people for me have been Hilldj00 who spent hours through the night giving me lessons in linux/UNraid and helping me set up THREE servers, luckily by the third one I didnt need him nearly as much - Top member and UNraid guru.
    A long time ago I was having personal issues and great advise and listening ear from Detector was very much appreciated and he guided me through some difficult times - this was nothing to do with midgets by the way.
    One thing I hate about DF is the constant use of LOOSE (this means slack guys) when people mean LOSE, lots of posts about people loosing their internet etc. does my head in.
    Lots of forum love

    I love reading back over some of the legendary bannings. Some actual snot flying out of your nose moments and classic insults and teddy throwing.

    Part of me always thinks an amnesty of banned members with over 500 posts. Give a month to keep nose clean etc. ;-) Probably not but could be hilarious.

    I still have mental scarring from the time czarjunkie and detector sent me the forbidden knowledge handbook or whatever it was called but put it in a package with a fucking banana rolling about in a Tupperware with BUTTFUCHS or something branding in massive letters on the package.

    god knows what the postman thought it was.

    I remember certain regular members of the IRC Channel getting in very hot water with the authorities. (Not naming names) How are they these days?

    I am shedding a tear remembering the demise of 0nDigital ..and raise a smile ...they were fun memories

    The exciting times of multiwire modchips and the challenge of soldering them in

    Dual ISDN from BT Home Highway (128kbps lol) and usung RedHotAnt as an ISP for £20 a year

    Being an early adopter if satellite downloads and using EuropeOnline for 10Mbps

    ...

    and now realizing how far back that was and how old i am now .... *sigh*

    Yeah I got ISDN from home highway when I lived in the sticks 18 years ago.
    You look back and realise you went from 56kbps to 128. It really wasnt that much of an upgrade pmsl and was expensive.
    I cant quite remember but I think the connection was instant instead of the old modem nonsense.

    Few years later and along came ADSL at 512kbps (about 2003/4) . Felt like lightening but now you would be screaming at your ISP if you had those speeds.

    Lucky I can get the full BT Fibre 80/20 but would still upgrade if there was an option.

    I remember spennyboy getting scammed in an eBay sale or something similar and I drove to the guys house to take photos of his house and car before the days of Google earth... Lots of similar instances in the past of people shitting up people who had fucked off members.

    Only went to one Blackpool meet but that was a blast. I'll never forget what a shithole the norbreck castle is.
