Who remembers the old BBC forum BDE?

[Cyril]

Many a laugh we had on there before jumping aboard TSF. Nice to look back on lots of great questions and funny answers. I think I may have to post the links one by one, so be patient.

A typical Monday morning chat on the BDE thread back then...

Cyril being nostalgic

Yeah, I do remember BDE, I did much better there than on the snooker quiz on TSF

[Watford]

I used to avoid the BDE it was scary!

I'd have thought someone of your knowledge would have had a few points on there. Sure you didn't go under a different pseudonym?

You can pick a point at any time in all those threads, browse through two or three pages and you're sure to find something amusing. I liked the little smiley's on there and the gold stars for getting a question correct! lol :snooker:

Just dug this up...

How many folks on here remember the old BBC fivelive forum?

[rivercard]

I certainly do. I remember it closed at 10 pm, a bit annoying. I've participated in the BDE thread and in many quiz threads as well. Shame about the way it ended with one of the mods going crazy and putting a lot of members into pre-mod, deleting threads and all.. I've learned a lot about snooker history/stats there.

[rambon]

I remember it well, as my score indicates. I lived abroad back then and the forum was my only access to snooker so I was a lot more heavily involved.

I'm enjoying posting more now, but can come and go as I please, which is healthy!

nugget-thegreat here...

[Odrl]

I remember it as well, it was a fun place. I used to browse through it every day until it was ruined by poor moderation. I found it hard to get used to this place at first, but the fact that a lot of members moved here was the reason I joined in the first place.

It's just a shame that some familiar members got lost somewhere along the way.

[Ginger Freak]

Brings back memories indeed! Nice to see youre still around Cyril! Is the Biggest Quiz ever still going on here?

Nugget, do I know you? I'm from Coatbridge, John Bennett.

Alright GF! Yes, it's still going, albeit not as prolific as back in the day...

Well i'll have to have a rummage around the old brain and think of some more to get it going again!
