Waybackwhenmachine doesn't quite capture the moment, but at some point between 17th October and 12th November 2004 someone seemed to pretty much pull the plug on the site. Shame, whilst I never really used the forum their I did read the news section they published.

Someone has been sitting on that name for a while and now their window has opened. I'd appreciate the long game if it's someone from years ago still holding a grudge.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I loved that forum. I loved the drama, the fights. Back in 2004 I was a research student in Sheffield. I basically had no life in reality as I didn't know anyone and spent my days in the library. This forum was my social outlet

Does anyone know what happened to richeyedwards.net? I recall reading it in the early days of lockdown. It was like a window into the late 90s design wise, but clearly made with love. Unfortunately it seems a spammer has bought the domain name now.

Archives of Pain and SB were a constant war, but so much fun.

Only one I remember and was a member of was the one on the official site before it closed down randomly and the site just became pretty rubbish which it remains to this day.

Think they ditched it as most of the members just slagged off the Manics for whatever they were doing at the time.

Oh the vicious, heartless bastards! How could they!

On a side note, remember when for a brief period of time the official site linked to foreverdelayed.org.uk/forum as their "official" forum? Or is my memory playing tricks on me?
