      The previous one on proboards (without the actual front end site stuff) was founded by/run/set up by Qblock, Scott, Funky and Isleworth as a response to .. well, that's a long story!

      The site may have changed hands since then but that's the basic history of it all!
      Didn't Nick DeMarco originally set it up?

        Nope, none of the 4 had met him at that point to the best of my knowledge

          So sorry everybody, but no need to send Kirill the presents.

          Perhaps best to wait until next March and celebrate the 7th anniversary of the relaunch.
          Was thinking exactly the same thing myself..... boards were deinitely around before 2009 as mentioned, but surely the "move" to the new boards was March 09, hence all of the older users have Mar 09 as their join date detailed on the right of every post.....????? so how the F*&k is it 6 years today!!

            As the board has moved between sites and servers.

            The board didn't have ads then did, the board used to do player interviews and then didnt, the board did a phone in with Rodney Marsh live.

            6 years ago today was the incarnation of the bulk of what this place is now...to an extent.

              Would be interested in a more detailed history of the site, why it was set up etc.

              I browsed occasionally back in the day but mainly read .org and later dotorg.

                Scott Jones set it up with a few sidekicks. He is so cool. There is no more history
                Banning people is no longer my hobby,
                but take a look at my photo blog:

                How and why did I start supporting QPR in Estonia:

                          How long have you got?

                          We'd need to go back to the original "messageboard wars" (all conducted on one website at the time) the LSA basically splitting up, the formation of "Friends of QPR"..later the formation of indyrs..and that's just the beginning..

                          Tis an exceedingly long story.

                                Paladini got 3or 4 puppets to set it up to pump his propaganda and be pro every sh-itty decision he made and defend his endless wrong doing, I would imagine Pete, Scrote and Funky still walk with limps now the amount of times they bent over for him for the sake of a few freebies!! There was plenty of opposition to their nonsense which did make for some excellent debate and was all told a cracking message board. I think Pete and Scott are now Bradford and Brum supporters now or whichever poor sods Uncle G rocks up to next.
