The development of our friends' 'business' from 8 years ago, thru to the kiddies arcadia board. Feels weird, especially the last one!

Arcadia became a joke, but was THE only decent site on the web for years to make contacts before kids hijacked it and posted drivel and name calling. The members pages were particularly useful.

I remember it amused me at the time, and it amused me again looking at it today, that Daz says: '.. I don't hide behind a PO Box address ..', yet by the time he's written his third gospel, he's suddenly forked out on a PO Box!

Send me £35 ... It's easy money!

Certainly is Daz, Certainly is.

Arcadia was the greatest website ive ever seen.

I miss it daily. Like daily bread (Warburtons Toastie Loaf).

I found the biscuit vs jaffa cake debate very interesting. Now the whole thing just seems like a distant memory. aahhh memories of a certain person's hair smelling like the 4 of diamonds.

good old scouser ste.

good old BLOOPS and **** and BANGS (TM).

good old old timers and their old secret old code umptiers of old.

good old chavs and beggers.

good old threads that were so long they stretched onto your second monitor.

good old ARCADIA!

RIP. We'll meet again some sunny day.

Yes, true skill illegal repeat granted....

Yes, the long threads, Mirror, ARSE, Watts (who was once a mod on there) Harry, Jon Morris (when provoked) etc...

Both those sites were Ok at the start, watts merely sold info packs mainly for lo techs at same price 25 pounds as arcadia membership, as I recall both had some decent stuff in at the time that would help you make a few quid.

Then it went tits-up, the introduction of laser products on one, and the reduction to childish flaming and drivel on t'other.

Ah.... almost like the innocence of childhood being lost as the years roll on....

The site was a joke at the start.

For anyone playing properly, the site was a friggin nightmare.

Once I finally hung up my refill key and uber amazing lightening fast super speed reactions, superarcadia became the greatest place ont tinterweb.

Theres something in my eye, gtg.

Anyone know/remember Ocean. Will-ko still posts on here, I believe.

Who was smarter than the average bear ?

PMK was "rude"


Mirror used to get a load of abuse, but was a good guy (Hello Greg, if you are reading)

Scouserste was on an another opiate influenced planet who did the grandslams.

Is Mr Riley still alive and kicking.


Streaky has had more names than me, lol.

Hello, Steve P, Old Skool, Dave from Bristol and anyone else


ps I was Pro Grammar, as well. .


I think the Vivid era killed Arcadia.



pps Has Jon Morris sold his old banger yet !!!!!!!!!

So what is Will-ko's user name these days?

I used to have chat to him on MSN sometimes. Not quite sure how it happened, but he also used to try to chat up some bird I used to sit beside at uni.

Ocean was an alias that a few Leicester players used from time to time. I'm sure Slammer would know of Ocean. I doubt Ocean himself ever used to post...

"Paypal me five boyz man...now. The Crazy Pays has done me again - feckin' 'eck!"


Vaz is still working in Thomas's - how he feeds a family of seven on those wages Gawd only knows.

smart bear was riley aka pulp fiction.

BLEEEEEEEP

i mean BLOOP, sorry.
