..introduce myself. I must be going senile, I was certain I'd posted in this forum before, but apparently not. So I believe it is the correct etiquette to make an introduction.

I recognise many posters on here from other forums, the original (and lamented) qpr.org and WATRB. I was one of the early members of qpr.org, posting on there from early 1997 (under a different moniker). For me it was the greatest QPR fans forum, enjoying a 'golden age' right through until the point Drew Garro ousted the site's founder Ben 'Battletank' Humphreys, in what was ostensibly a holding measure, but in what turned out to be a coup. Now that it's run as a personal fiefdom, it is not recognisable as the original dotorg.

I've spent a long time posting on WATRB, one becomes used to a forum as a 'home', but now and again I visit here, mainly to read Clive's excellent match reports. However it feels like such a good forum, I think I will stay a bit longer if you don't mind! It's interesting that each QPR forum has a different flavour and I'd say this is easily the most cultured. WATRB is arguably the most reactionary and right-wing (not all the posters, but the majority), but it still makes fascinating and entertaining reading. The new qprdot.org seems rather anodyne in comparison.

Cheers folks. Very much enjoying the threads on here.


(One a side note, the original dotorg still exists, but unfortunately it gets very little traffic).
