I don't really know the website you came from but I really enjoy seeing two lads catch up again.
It was a short lived flash in the pan thing, about “Chavs”.
Basically it was middle and lower upper class British people being mean about poorer people.
If the cast of Downton abbey, the IT Crowd and Outnumbered were taking the piss out of the UK Shameless cast.
For me personally, it was the first time I really saw an ongoing forum war, with offshoot forums, trolling raids, lol cows, overzealous jannies, doxing, wannabe nazi/fascist/white supremacists, cliques, trolling, vast threads about stupidity and people who really seemed to think of the online world as an extension of their social life.
It was interesting as a quite diverse cross section of people became involved and so when discussion was civil, it had a real mixture of opinion.
Of course, nothing lasts forever so the ego of the owner, a large gentleman, with a balding ponytail, literally comic book guy from the simpsons, kept locking things down, made it subscription only, lost nearly all members, and speculation here might have had to declare bankruptcy as he was contracted to write some stocking filler books, and never seemed to deliver the last couple.
Basically think an even fatter angrier Patrick Tomlinson, with a worse writing CV.
There were some notable characters, idiots and trolls.
Leelad.net became pretty much the kiwi farms of Chavscum.
I am glossing over a hell of a lot, but basically that’s the most important stuff to know from my recollection.
I do like seeing people catch up too, so
Oooooh nice!

Thanks for that!
