[NSC] 20 years on NSC

[Jim in the West]

Just happened to notice that I joined NSC 20 years ago today....sad (or happy) to say that it's played a moderately important part in my life over that period!! Of course, countless hours have been frittered away, but on occasion it has been a truly amazing resource. In particular, throughout the Falmer planning process. And of course so many enjoyable, humorous, well-informed posts - courtesy of a wonderful community (the vast majority of whom I don't know!). As ever, eternal gratitude to Bozza and the team of mods, who manage to keep NSC on the straight and narrow....in particular for their inclusive approach. Long Live NSC!

Jesus - I apparently joined Jul 03, at least THIS version. I was on the original one back in the late 90s

Jack Straw's photos of the Amex being built were incredible.

Only 19 years ago for me. JCL.

There was no INTERNET in 2003 so you're not fooling me.

I was definitely on a version of NSC in 1999 - 2000, maybe earlier, when I was working in Manchester. Remember posting a few 'just back from the game' threads when I'd been up to see us play at Rochdale or Halifax or somewhere equally far-flung where not many were there and we most definitely weren't on the telly. Then it would get spammed by various orient., cardiff and palace fans

I'll reach 27 years on NSC on 22 December - that's more than a third of my life. I wonder how many hours I've spent on here

 

[Beach Hut]

I'm a newbie

 

[clapham_gull]

I'm a nudist

20 years next year for me. Long live NSC!

I was!

And I was also on the first incarnation of NSC under a long lost username I think in the late 90's but usually only posted 'where's the best place to park in Bury etc . Horrible old style hierarchical thread style (can't remember the proper term). I wonder how many of us are left from that time?

[NSC] - Happy 20th Birthday NSC?

6th Oct will be 20 years for me.

I joined as I moved an away from Brighton and I could keep up with what was happening with the Albion and it was always the first place for Albion news. I did view it for a long while before I got the account then did not post much at all to begin with.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Been on here since 99. I remember the post on 9/11 “WTF is happening at the World Trade Centre” I was initially confused as my company was demolishing the top 4 floors of the WTC in Canary Wharf, that had been, previously, damaged by an IRA bomb. It was only when I looked online I saw what was happening in New York. Ricky Marlowe's Hairpiece had posted on NSC, the day before.

17 years - just a JCL compared to quite a few…..

The post count always amazes me…..

What did people do before?

 

[Jack Straw]

Bugger! I've missed my 20th anniversary. Ah well. I'll celebrate my 25th instead!!
