Your First Thread ?

Who can remember their first thread on this forum??

Mine was eons ago but I seem to recall it being something like... 'best NewOrder songs to listen to after a break up'

Having recently split from my girlfriend at the time i found myself listening to NewOrder with a lot deeper perspective and was surprised, and yet quite comforted at the same time to read on here that many other NO fans read deeply into the bands music and lyrics as well!

It turned out to be quite a good thread if i recall :)

Something about gigs probably.

Originally posted by The Happy One ID...I can't even remember the last thread I started, much less the first one...I think my first one might have had something to do with area one in Mountain View...but not really sure...and when you post as much crap as I do, and drink all those beers...how the hell are you supposed to remember anything???

Hehehehee!!

What actually made me think of this thread is Shug when he told me the first thread he ever done was one on what should have been a single (or something along those lines)

I was stunned he could remember after 4000 odd posts but it reminded me of my first post at the same time!

i remember mine like it was yesterday...

Does anyone know what the W>W>W>R>L stands for at the beginning of Confusion?

I got a prompt response from knowlegable sources and started to browse around and read bits of information on NewOrder...right before the Liverpool and Japan gigs....

Fuck all if I know......must've been back when the forum wasn't as "refined" as it became after the revamping in early '01. I had just escaped the bastardized ruins of a once-great JD forum and I think that was the first thing I posted. Okay, I do remember!

Anyway, that's my story....

Originally posted by Spotnick Yes I remember... It was "Welcome to the NewOrderOnline forums"

And it went a little something like this!

And whatever happened to Albin Wagener and Cosmo? They could be Most Honourable Weirdos by know?

The first thread I started (I haven't started too many) was about Player In The League. At that time it had not been released yet and I wanted to know what people thought of it. I still think it's one of the best New Order songs this century.

Great song indeed!

As for my first thread, I do not remember it, maybe one asking about a band called Technique that Marty Gray answered in the fullest detail.

probably sticking up for "depress" Mode

Mine was more of an "infomercial" for my unofficial pre and after partys for the Barras gigs last October. Respect to Jarvo and Johnny G for showing up with Johan Scott. First time I had the pleasure of meeting the old skool.

i think i started a thread about blue monday being a first song heard...first NO song you heard....something something

it was around march this year i started posting....

That's what I love about this forum, Donnie starts up a serious (serious for him anyway) thread, and he gets the piss totally ripped out of him from the ladsSuperb replies all round! As was mentioned, the first thread I started was "Which song shoulda been a single?"It was going alright, until someone mentioned that "I remember a time when singles weren't on albums, and that's the point of the band" Killed my first thread stone deadLooking back to the very first message on this board, I was also thinking about what has happened to these people, there have been many, many comings and going's, and far too many names to mention......but I'd really like to know what happened to Luis from Brazil and the mad proffesor Frode? anyone?And while we're at it.....Where's Huntsy?

Aiiiiiii!!!

ps: talking of ripping the piss wheres my Star Test Vid Shugzy?!?!

So Rocket Mick's first ever post was completely devoid of any content?

Hmmm.

OMG, the title for mine is so *gay* (makes me sound like an interior designer)! I was posting a LOT longer than that, but that must be when I changed my nickname (from "Trevor" to "Taboo#7)

Yeah but nothing new.. something about a JD/NO release being postponed..

That seems to be the constant theme through MOST of the posts in this site's history

i have absolutely no idea what my first thread was. i suppose i could go and look it up.

the main reason for this post is i've been dying to do this for days now:

(cue jarvis cocker): 'do you remember your first thread? i can't remember a worse thread.'

sorry.

Originally posted by Spotnick BTW, you can find the first thread you started with the search engine...!

I cant seem to find my first thread :( It pulls up one on the Metro which had Arthur Baker in it as the earliest but that DEFINATLY wasnt my first ever thread!!

Mebbe my posting goes further back than you can search

Here is my oldest thread:

My First 'un

I'd forgotten, that back then my original name was "New 0rder" ! (that's a zero in 0rder, not an O). Then i was...

The Keeper of the Major Key The Keeper Major Major Tarantino

Fascinating... not.

OK, now you've got me curious, how do I search for mine?

use the search button under forums and get it to search in ascending date order. Remember, it will show your current user name, not any old one's you might have had.

Cheers, done it to very disappointing returns. My first post was a query about sales figures for NEW ORDER albums and no one bothered to answer

I do not know how I plucked the courage to write ever again after that.

I realized I just reused your first thread in the other forum :shy:

AgentWood's First Thread...

aah, yes. thought it looked familiar!

Ah yes, mine was on the 2001 Pazz & Jop critics poll from the Village Voice, in which NO did pretty well. Saw that Brett a/k/a Gnu Odor had replied to that, I miss his humor. Also rediscovered Jeff's thread about the Sunday Target ad that advertised the new release of Get Ready, yet showed a pic of the Low-Life cover.
