I really don't have anything to say - just noticed no one had posted here yet!

Welcome to all our UK friends!

Oh that is so funny. I though it was some kind of wind-up because I immediately saw the dates (2001!!!) on the first thread. :lmao:


I recognise 2 DISer names. I won't even ask how you came across this thread. Very cool :thumbsup2

I am assuming the first post was when they first opened up a special board for UK planning?

I assume Wideeyes means the Ascending and Descending order of posts bit, can set it to show all threads ever and as this was the first thread...

The UK forums were a bit complicated back then as they actually lived in 2 places at once. There was a version where everyone hung out together on a co.uk domain and then there were another set here which were pretty much dead.

Unfortunately the server that the co.uk boards were hosted on died a death and so everyone migrated back to this version on the main DIS. Some people preferred being in a little 'Brit Community' rather than part of a multi-national site...they all went off and started the DIBB.

Aaaah, I see now. I never knew that. Funny thing is, I like this BECAUSE it is multi national. In fact, in my years of lurking I was hardly ever on the UK boards until last year really. I think most of my early posts were probably on the main boards too. Weird.


Thanks. I knew about sorting them. I just interpreted your post differently so I didn't realise that was what you were referring to. :)

I agree! One of the things I've always liked about this site is the interaction with people from all over - I like being social, it makes the world seem like a cosier place :) (My favourite other forum is Restaurants)

I hang out almost exclusively on the DIS as a result :surfweb:

Same here. I will say though, there is a slight distinction: people on the main boards are friends. Those on this board are family. :grouphug:

That would be great! :thumbsup2

I was intrigued by this thread last night and so I went back to the first couple of pages from 2001. It was so strange. Pages of threads with 0 replies on. I can't imagine that. Now we have threads that run over pages in the first day. It was almost eerie.
