..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).

Welcome indeed Hubble. I'm one of the many "glass half fulls" on this board. I'm also old skool, so favourite genesis track or album?  | | | |

Chappers!
That takes me back. I remember him having a ST near me in the Upper Loft prior to the gold, silver, bronze introduction.
There was one memorable falling out with a female supporter over the language he was using to describe either the ref or linesman!
BTW, welcome hubble. [Post edited 30 Mar 2017 19:00]

''WATRB is arguably the most reactionary and right-wing''
Who is this WATRB you speak of? Could he be persuaded to give a little helping hand, it's like Custer's Last Stand on here most of the time.
Anyway, welcome aboard.

Hmmm, that's a difficult one mate, as my taste in cheese tends to change... currently I'm favouring roquefort, but also a fan of dolcellate, manchego and cave-aged cheddar... |
Wonderful.
Is that really you Hud . |  |
| Strong and stable my arse. |

Didn't Chappers even get band from the old dot.org? To do that took some doing! All we need now is my old enemy from those days ZH. Welcome Hubble, just watch out for the ultra right wing propaganda spouting by 1BH!  |
I don't think Chappers posts on any forums now does he Hubs? | | | |

Thank you 1BH, no, I didn't bring them with - more's the shame - as CCJ says, Chappers no longer posts on any QPR forums, in fact, whisper it, he's kind of lost interest - cricket's his thing these days. Sonic and Arbie still post on the new format original dotorg, as does Boston who also frequents this parish. And yes johncharles, it really is me! And of course I remember you from the org 1BH.
Cambers, great to see you on here mate, DW - blimey, ZH! That takes me back. The most irascible and confrontational poster I ever encountered, and that's saying something.
Thank you all once again for such a generous welcome, very much appreciated. Oh, and Berko, it would have to be something from the Gabriel era.... Back in NYC? | |

Haha, I remember you Lytham, no, Mr Boston has already revealed my identity above!
peejay: "a mutual or equivalent exchange or a paying back of what one has received" covers it 
Thank you all for your kind and gracious welcome. |
Ahh Missed that clue, delighted to see you here Hud
