The Old Beeb Posters!
Now then... I posted on the old Beeb board for years, I recognise some names on this board, but like me I think many have come back in another guise.
Now I don't want anyone to 'out' themselves if they don't want to, just a yes or a no would be good... Just curious. x

If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
No from me too, been here 3 or 4 years.
Okay Verdon, sentiments taken onboard... End of... We had a good community on the Beeb board before it was closed down... I was just interested... But will just shut up and go into oblivion.
mollis - you could never go into oblivion (see, I have a bit of inside knowledge here!!!). But I took the decision to change my persona on here, and I think one or two others did as well. Not to "hide" but rather to put all the old beeb stuff behind us, and have a fresh start. Thus far it seems to be working (tho' I hesitate to mention the G**d name just in case ...)
Occasionally I recognise a style of posting or a hint of a previous "life" but overall I reckon the anonymity is what keeps us going. Rather like the occasional dianthus. Or Rhodo. Or . . . well, you get the gist!
Seems I was wrong in my assumption that many of the posters migrated from the old Beeb board.. I thought I recognised some, but obviously wrong....
Mods please delete the thread as I really don't want to cause any problems to a lovely board.
Verdun - what an unsympathetic reply. Mollis is probably just wanting to say hello to old friends. Why seek an ulterior or sinister motive?

I think there are still some people here from the old Beeb board.
There you go, Mollis - even if people can't remember who they are/were, there's not a problem in referring back to the old Beeb stuff. After all, some of it was very, very amusing. Christmas fairies on an upside-down Christmas tree springs to mind!
