privacy reasons. i don’t know, i don’t feel like it. (but it’s easy to guess given a list of old usernames).
I hate to break it you @Bl1nk, but you brought up the wrong thread my friend. This is the thread you were looking for:
Ironically Luke was the last poster in it. Guess people still have trouble finding stuff on here. Oh well.
Hello friends anyways, Hope you’re all well

Haha, sorta. Though it’s been good having a break over the Summer instead of endless transfer rumours and nothingness that goes on with Football over the Summer.
@BigWeng_4LYFE (Mate what happened to your username ffs 
) you actually joined July 2009, so it’s 10 years this month, same as @Cristo. Happy 10 years on OA. Have your gold badges 
And great to see the legend that is @Bavin back these days.

OG.
Make me feel a newcomer having joined in October 2006.
I did love that vBulletin displayed post count and join date, although post count did have its draw backs coughlucacough

Remember we had signatures too? Those big images below every single post 
We even had a member ‘mouqeet’ offering to design signatures for free.

Some people deserved banning for the state of their signatures.

It’ll also be 15 years of OA for me as well @SRCJJ at the end of the month. Can’t believe where all that time has gone! Never back then would I have imagined this place would still exist 15 years later.
Can’t say I miss signitures though, I had them off from Day 1

Likewise. The scary thing is, with this new format of no pages in threads and one big long feed, it would be significantly worse having them now.

I vaguely recall a member asking, when we setup new OA 3 years ago, if it was possible to have them back 
Absolute no no.
Welcome back btw @Bavin. Missed your return while I wasn’t about it seems. I take it you’re back for good?
