Matt Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Maybe not a lot has happened in 10 years, however in some respects we've tried to do it all. We've had our ups and downs, we've fell out with people, made friends, maybe found a soul-mate. We've got things started, we've been innovators, in this place there's no such thing as a bad idea. We've been talked about in boardrooms, on the news, outgrown our humble beginnings These things make us what we are. We are Oldham. Thank you. OWTB Staff past and present.

tGWB Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Well done OWTB Some great banter on here, some absolute 'fruitcakes' but if you don't take them too seriously even they can be funny One of the few good things we have left as Latics Supporters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As jkl died a death due to changes in Rivals boards, Rummy set this one up and most jkl posters signed up for it. You must've too, in your previous incarnation!

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Ha ha yes I have employed a variety of noms de plume Noms de guerre more like. Seriously though. For me and probably lots of people, the internet and specifically this board have transformed the football experience. I've met loads of people through this board. In the early days it was the likes of Big Fin and Sheridans World, and later Zorrro, Ackey and Latic12345. Always nice to run into the likes of Bristol Latic at an away game. Through the OASIS board, I've met people like Nervous Tic, who moved to London and (through this board) instantly had London community stalwarts to look up to, and lookerstandandy who joined straight after he got out of jail (he's still unable to talk to DC Knobhead). More recently, I've discussed over a pint with disjointed his inferior performances in the prediction league. Very nice chap though. Probably too nice to be a Champion, but there we go. And many, many top people besides. Importantly, most of them like to get stuck into a drink on a football day to take the edge off the horror on the pitch. I enjoyed the carefree Ched rage on here because I can't really rage on FB or Twitter because of my job. Raged about loads of other things too. Despite being scandalously victimised by board admins because of my dominance of the prediction league, I continue to contribute a small sum each month to the running of the board, which all regular users who can should do. Cheap at twice the price. And to put the tin hat on it, my best mate got married to someone he met literally on this board. OWTB!

oafcprozac Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) January 2007 - the world was such a different place Tony Blair PM Dubya was president The economy from the outside was secure - what's a credit crunch? Bastion's of the high street - Woolies, BHS, HMV Fancy a vid from blockbuster? Those smart phones will never catch on! What's twitter? Are you on Facebook? No! Instawhat? Snapwotsit? Jk Latics I was clinging to the last days of my 20s I sat in the lookers stand Chris porter was our goal machine And St Helens had just won the treble Edited January 11, 2017 by oafcprozac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofcecere Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I enjoyed the early days of OWTB far more than I do today. I realise it's got something to do with the fortunes changing but rather than a celebration of our support for Latics, the banter has been replaced by personal insults, wild conspiracies, and copious amounts of willy waving. I still visit here most days though (even if I often log off with my head in my hands!) and salute Rummy for its creation and him the rest of the staff for the upkeep of the site which must be a nightmare at times. Here's to another 10 years, and let's hope our fortunes change so we can have a happier OWTB with friendlier debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohairdontcare Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Thanks for everything OWTB guys - for "exiles" like me this site is vital for staying in touch and keeping up to date. I'm broke after Christmas but will sling a few quid your way once my next pay cheque rolls in (don't embargo me!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
