Hi,

For some reason I use to be able to post in the Private Forums and view all the posts.

But recently my permissions have changed, is there any reason for this?

Did you have a paid subscription?

 

[tommy]

No, but I was lead to believe that long term members wouldn't need to pay as I have been on here since there was only a handful of members.

Plus I did have:
...Fully Paid-Up UK Business Forums Member... under my name at one point.

Hi Tommy,

So permissions were messed up a month or so ago. PM Ozzy and he should be able to re-instate your permissions if you were emant to have them.

I hope it was as sunny in Ockendon today as it was further down the c2c line in Basildon.

Nice to know you are still around, not many of us left from 2003.

Hope you get your permissions back.

Phew - was the internet around in 2003? Ah yes it was, but all on dial up. 53.3kbps was hip - those were the days

Internet - new fangled stuff.

Anyone remember Compuserve? My 28.8 Kbps modem cost £170, but you dared not to log on for too long or your bill went through the roof.

lol, Compuserve, i remember them!! ** bows head down in shame**

And the time of the most expensive modems ever!!

I remember when my boss bought a 'state of the art' hayes modem, 9600 baud, cost him almost one thousand pounds at the time. Scary how expensive things where back then. Almost ended up setting up a wildcat BBS using that modem, but it ended up just being used for remote access / support on xenix machines.

Phone bills were huge, I was spending a few hundred a quarter on the internet at home, and getting no where fast with it. Now super fast broadband (well really really slow broadband compared to some countries) is available, and people think nothing of downloading gigabytes of garbage...

wow - did I read right? 28hb/s modem £170 :|

I first got on the net in 1996 (wish I had bought some domains back then - they would be nicely stewed by now)

I had a mighty 14.4 kbps modem and a massive phone bill.

Those were the days!

Oh yes I remember, my first introduction to the Internet was through Compuserve when they first introduced the WWW button to their top menu. Of course that was actually after they had migrated their software from DOS to Windows 3.1 !!! In the DOS days it was really boring but facinating how it all worked, but still expensive. I spent more time on MUD games through BBS systems than actually using Compuserve.

I remember my first modem was 9600bps and it did cost a months wages!
