..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).

Welcomes and etiquette aside, there is a certain favourite cheese issue that needs addressing before we go any further |  | | |

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... | |

You've clearly been lurking for longer than the last week or so if you think this has been a good forum. Or maybe the other boards go even more stir crazy during international breaks?
This is head and shoulders above the other message boards because it's not an ego trip for the site admin. Poor Clive would probably be happier without it but. like Flavio realising you need poor fans too, he tolerates us. |  | | |

Hud was a great contributor to the old .org
I remember it disappeared for a while and there was a split- then reappeared but could not get its mojo back?
Welcome aboard either way, |  | | |

I can vouch for hubs being a great poster on WATRB's (and there are some, despite what some people think) and he's a top bloke in the flesh as well.
