Spend longer on here than is healthy . love the humour and posters, enjoy the fact that i can have a good old discussion on here, Wendy says in strong willed(ok a bloody minded bell end is what she really says) . I tell it like it is but will admit when it's wrong and this forum allows people to within reason be themselves, and i love it. It gives me a chuckle when some skim read a post go loopy and ,in reality read the thread wrong. Thank you Ras for setting it up and making the mods visible, the O/S used to drive people crackers as the mods hid behind the badge, these guys we know, i also love the fact that the mods and admin are posters first and mods second(burn yer parka, scrap yer vespa, and shave your heads you paul weller worshipers, long hair has no place on the terraces ). RAS had enough plain and simple, he set the forum up, he had like all of us strong opinions and a warped sense of humour, some posters just couldn't get it into their heads that he was a Poster first and Admin second and used to criticise everything he posted that was slightly off the norm as the phrase your an admin you cant say that etc" . For what ever reason It upset RAS to the point he walked away. Tis a shame i miss his off the wall posts as im know many others do. fergot so had to edit love T-Bones post often something hidden in the post , but no one seems to notice, like how he has his opinions and will stick to em Onwards and upwards, a personal message from me to the mods You all smell , and your mums dress you funny

Ras is quite a large, hairy man. When we used to stay behind at Gaschat Towers for after work cocktails Roverdrive would get a little disinhibited and make unwanted advances. Any way, one evening Ras and Fanboy were playing pool in the games room and Ras had on some hipster jeans. Roverdrive walked in just as Ras was cueing up. It wasn't pretty. Once we'd managed to clean him up Ras felt it was just best if he called it a day. We tried to make it work, but you can't fight nature. I'm fairly sure that Ras can at least walk again now, but he won't be stopping any dogs in an alley any time soon. A fairly accurate recollection of what was the second best day of my life (was top until Sunday). Thank you for reminding me of the wonderful memories I hold from that day.

can we get ras back, legend that dude.... Last I heard, he was travelling bare-foot through the Amazon outback, with only a pair of swimming goggles and a half-eaten can of sweetcorn.

How quick a year goes, happy birthday Gaschat. I myself stumbled upon this place after relegation and the OS closing, I was looking for solace after such a crappy time of it and found such a great community, ok so some people don't get on, that's life, but there is a lot of people who do, who have a common interest at heart. This is the best place to: Find out info, a lot of knowledgeable people on here. Give your views, whether welcomed or sometimes not. Or just have a bloody good rant when sometimes after a s**ty match (Braintree for instance) you need to get how your feeling off your chest. So thank you to ALL involved. UTG
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I don't buy the BEP because I get better info from here than that thing they call a local paper, so you've saved me a little cash too, cheers.

Thank you so much Fanboy and to all the other creators and mods, I have rarely posted during the last year but I have read this forum multiple times every single day, same as I did on the old OF. I'm addicted!! Fantastic to read all you guys banter and chat and opinions on here, from a Gashead who can't get to many games, but still bleeds blue and white and follow the Gas's progress daily, come rain or shine!
Nice one guys and up the Gas!

If my upcoming exams were on the subject of Gaschat, I'm sure I'd pass.
Not a bad idea actually if anyone is arsed to compile a Gaschat anniversary quiz? Could be quite funny.

Joined the OF when I was just 14 years old and took far too much abuse from grown ups for being too interested in Rovers. When the forum had it's makeover a few years later, I signed up under a completely new username and pretty much stopped posting. So when I had a PM from Ras on the old AF after the closure of the OF saying I was a highly valued poster and inviting me to sign up here, I knew he was lying . Happy late birthday GasChat.

What was your old username? Yeah I was about the same age when I joined the OF, probably made a complete embarrassment of myself a few times but the majority of posters were very understanding looking back! Joined this forum not long after it was set up as most of my favourite posters from OF came here. Only recently started posting regularly again though.
