Glorynothing I did lurk on the gloryhorns board, I have to say it was full of people with bigoted opinions, glad I am a proud member of WFC forums where I can mingle with sensible p eople with interesting points of view.
Yeh i came across their site first, signed up, got called a "troll" because i made a comment that i didnt like Smith! They hardly have any posts on there, not nearly as entertaining as this site! At least people talk to new people on here! ;D
Did the blokes at gloryhorns forget to pay the bill, or... did the hamster that runs the server die? Only pop in over there occasionally, but it seems dead.
Doesn't seem to be working today. Just get this message: 503 Service Unavailable No server is available to handle this request.
Hopefully just a blip. With TDS now in complete obscurity and now this, where are all the lunatics going to go to post?
Where's Cally's Disco going to find people to insult & patronise if GH's is gone for good? (Although I guess that's what Twitter's for)
It's okay we are in the politics section. Moose occasionally escapes but the orderlies tranquillize him if he comes in this section.
Glory Horns served its purpose in its own weird way before this site was thankfully set up and the only alternatives we had were the crappy fishal forum and BWL where people had long since made an unofficial pact to stop talking about anything to do with football, but it seems to have died a slow death since then. There were some decent posters (Iceman, monkeyman, leecoombs57, BSaD's Dave Messenger, our UEA_Hornet - albeit not very frequently) and some interesting football discussion (god-awful off topic section though) but it was a lot less well moderated than this with some potentially good topics all too often degenerating into slanging matches, and very few of the regulars seem to have moved to this forum (I believe hornetboy1 posted for a while there but wasn't very popular - that was another problem with certain posters being prone to getting picked on). This thread sums up well its pros and (mostly) cons: http://www.wfcforums.com/showthread.php?6958-Gory-horns
Tis a shame that half of the people who have posted on here either don't post any more or post sparingly
If anything I'm actually pleasantly surprised that there are that many on this thread who still post here nine years later, shows this forum is doing something right!
In its early days Gloryhorns was a friendly site with a wide demography of members who all respected each other. Good banter without descending into insults and any trolls were quickly dealt with. It lasted 2-3yrs before key members moved on and new ones joined as inevitably happens. It was never the same again, but in those early years it was by far the best wfc forum that nothing imo has since surpassed. That's not just wfc sites but all sites (inc. non-football sites) I've ever joined or considered joining. *wistful sigh*
This is very true, although there are quite a few who have disappeared! However, over time things are bound to change. The thing with a forum is, (well I find this) that sometimes you can go a while without posting, then all of a sudden you reply to a lot of stuff. I find it easier to post when it's quieter at work.
I signed up on there but never posted, I think it was because you had to have an account to read anything, but then I didn't log on to it much until the Pozzo takeover. It wasn't until then that I came across this forum but as it was readable without creating an account I didn't do so until summer of 2014.
For old time's sake... http://www.chesterzoo.org/attractions-and-exhibits/web-cams/giraffe-cam Another one doesn't exist any more... http://www.twoinches.com/
Didn't people always used to post link to chairs or something and it would open a million windows and force you to shut down? Remember clicking on that a few times. I never really learned!
That's what the two inches site did. However sometime in the early 2000s browsers started to be shipped that automatically blocked new windows opening so after that all you saw was a chair. So it's days were numbered.
