I thought that people were coming here because that woman who said "louche" 20 years ago informed everybody. I emailed her asking for Wymark's and Falconer Flemming's and whoever else's contact details so that I could invite you to the new forum. You know, the forum that has "5" in it's URL.

But I just realised that I'm in control of the legit This is Yesterday and that if you go to members.boardhost.com/thisisyesterday , it redirects you to this forum.

I also have the posting history of the last 500 messages on that forum. Sadly, it seems that I can't restore them. I only have the names of the people who posted and when I click on the link to the message it gives you that "file not here" message.

So what happened? I guess that Hatfield deleted his account and I was able to register for it. Kind of weird.

Anyway, it's a prosperous new era for This is Yesterday - The Message Board. I promise to be just as absent as Hatfield in terms of forum moderating. I might even pay the five bucks a month to get rid of ads.
