Re: PF History?

Definately 1942. If you have noticed the site sometimes slows down. Thats when the string between the plastic cups needs replacing on the parts that haven't been converted to wifi yet

Re: PF History?

This is how Petforums looked in the very beginning (Jan 2005) when the domain was first purchased:

PetForums.co.uk - powered by vBulletin

By March of that year the hosting bills weren't being paid and the account was suspended.

http://web.archive.org/web/200502222...uspended.page/

By December, it was back (with a somewhat strange colourscheme):

Petforums - powered by vBulletin

Not long afterwards (Feb 06) it was hacked:

العقرب الأحمر شخص لا يتحدث عنه كلاب الشبك&#157

I guess the original owner just gave up. Nobody posted and the only visitors it attracted were hackers. By April 06, everything on the server was simply deleted:

cPanel

Fastforward a couple of years, and a new landlord arrived who was much more handsome. So handsome infact that half the mums on mumsnet pretended to have a goldfish just to join up here. The rest is history:
