This was a great place to be in 2007. Good fun could be found on these pages. Did Facebook take over? 2007 is when I joined -- I would hate to think I dragged this place down.  Seriously, though, I think message boards in general have gone downhill in the past few years (I was on a Joe Strummer fan board for about six years before it went kaput in 2012, and instead the community is now a FB page); even the LiveJournal communities I used to frequent in the mid-to-late '00s see little or no activity anymore.  I imagine a lot of that does have to do with just about everybody and their mother having their own FB and/or Twitter accounts. |

This was a great place to be in 2007. Good fun could be found on these pages. Did Facebook take over? I have fond memories of the signed Tank CD and the competition, etc. Even the chat box had some use! Last week was the first time I'd been here in months. I've been hoping for the (official) short films compilation DVD(s) - is there any news on that? |

Did you also get the double DVD set of Shane's earliest shorts? Sadly no word on any further short film compilations coming out. The competition was a whopper wasn't it! Shane Idol. What a prize.... who knew it would not only lead to appearing as local chip-mongers in a Shane Meadows film, but a BAFTA winning one at that! If another big prize crops up, then another odd competition could arise. |

Clifton your character is a supporting role rather than star role matey. I put him in the wheel chair in homage to you. He does have nunchuck skills thom:)
