Some of us hung on for longer than others, but I think we're all at the stage of accepting this board is just a graveyard now.
But when was your moment when you conceded defeat and finally accepted it was the end of AWIMB.
For me it was when Berni and Sir C killed off Modd. The final fictional character of AWIMB dead, RIP Modd.
When Headgear was allowed to start banning people was the beginning of the end. At some point after that he banned a bunch of people, greg mitchell, Fatneck etcQuote:

Dunno tbh. I know Awimb was great in the noughties there were some proper funny moments. Shame you lot kept banning my account. I think the last truly great time in Awimb's history was around when Nicosia Gooner took pictures of a lovely Mandarin Duck. All went to sh*t shortly after.
That's a good shout, power really does affect people in funny ways.Quote:

Nikos had some real classics on here. Apart from the Mandarin Duck, we also had the Brita water filters and the one that still makes me chuckle to this day was his work colleague who fell off a cliff, unfortunately. I think PSRB took the brunt of that one if I remember rightly. He was/is a really nice chap IRL. I supported his annual charity calendar for a few years.Quote:

Not that I am fash but if I was what a transformation :rubchin:
I was always more a lurker but I remember when Facebook took off. Half the regular posters just buggered off to that and set up an AWIMB FB group, so they could spend all day both being on FB with their normal mates and chatting AWIMB stuff with the AWIMBers who'd joined then.Quote:

Although to give my view some balance, I did actually purchase a Dyson :hide: a year or so ago. To be fair, the battery concept combined with the wand design makes a lot of sense from a usability point of view. Being able to just grab it and quickly go over the kitchen floor of an evening or something is very quick and easy. I have no doubt it will not last 10-20 years though.
When fatneck got banned...I lost my old login details...my favourite moment was when dorset shat himself!
Fatneck didn't get banned, did he? I thought he just left.Quote:
