Marathon Stadium 25th birthday!

[jamesgould]

Guess what, on the 4th of March this god forsaken website will be 25 years old!

Anyone have any ideas how we can celebrate?

I have enabled an app version of the site, it doesn’t cost much to put it on the google play store, but the App Store costs $100 US a year. But might still be possible.

I was thinking maybe we should try doing a podcast too?! haha

That’s all I’ve got, so any other ideas welcome.

James, I think you should start hosting a Paul Finebaum style show as a podcast

There’s definitely some from the very early days, but I think those that signed up in the first year have all moved on. The forum part of the site didn’t start until 2005.

@mozza @MattyM and @Billy were all here in the first few years - apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone else who was that is still here regularly!

Been here since January 2010, as a cringey 14 year old. Now I’m married, pushing 30, and have an almost two year old girl.

Damn, that really puts things into perspective.

I have been here since June 2008. I didn’t post much in my first years here because my early posts were all criticised.

So nothing changed except you post more often

I have accepted that some people will disagree with what I post, but not many of my posts are criticised now.

I've seen your 2008 join date before and always thought I don't remember you from back then all that much! So that explains it. Well you're a major and much loved part of MS these days Lefty. Sorry if I criticised your posts.

That's so expensive but I do like the idea of an app, at least this Newcastle app would be updated and things posted to it unlike the official one...

Thank you very much James. You were not one of those who criticised my posts.

Funny enought I joined in 2011 (but lurked all through the 2010 season) but didn't post much as you slammed me a few times.
Now I just say whatever n don't care if no one agrees, though I do like getting likes.

Oh damn, sorry Treadly! Hopefully I don't get so fired up or care so much anymore haha.

I was late to the party again!! 2016 for me.

It's all good, I remember it, but not bothered by it.

Hopefully I've made some quality contributions and a few laughs.

I check in multiple times every day, so I must like the joint.

Some early 2010 OG’s still hangin’ round too! Some don’t post as much though.

Started on this forum late 2021 but I didn't really post much on here until early 2023.

Congratulations to everyone keeping this forum going around for the last 20 years.
