How the hell did you remember that??

And you posted 1000 posts within a month! :eek:
I just went and did about 30 minutes worth of searching of the forums and my PM inbox.
Yes, back in the old days the never ending topics forum didn't have its post count disabled Stevo. :p
I was a self-proclaimed spammer. ;)
 
I see you were very bored. You won't see me getting that bored.

But nice. People can read a bit what you've been doing here in all these three years.
 
i jonied planetcricket on mar 2004 and didnt use it for 1 year and 6 months and after that when cricket 2005 is released i usually surf on this site.
 
Shouldn't the title say Duff's Planetcricket timeline ;)
Anyway that is really top stuff Duff, I'm too lazy to go and search for all that info.

My time line.

1. May 2005 first came to PlanetCricket by a Google search on "my cricket 2004 edited kits"
2. Downloaded nearly everything of Cricket 2004 (kits patches etc...) :D

3.. got addicted to Planetcricket.net and use to spend all my time here after school

4. I started my very successful thread "usy's thread" which i did graphic requests

4. Started my own website when i got inspired by PC

5. Went to another cricket forums cricket worldwide, and I became a mod there
(they wanted a graphic mod,),

6. I got my 2000 posts a few days ago, and still love PC and looking forward to 3000 posts...


It's not better then Duff, I missed a lot of stuff, just posted what I remembered ;).
