I was so dismayed at seeing Quo mime "a bula bula Quo...a bula bula Quo" so soon after being blown away by the FF that I didn't go on the board. It was gone when I did.
Massive shot in the foot for the band. They should have appealed for volunteers to be moderators. That would have fixed the problem
The decision was clearly made in anger

Didn't Teleboogie end up in a Norwegian jail or something? Quo fans, eh?

I joined in 2002 when I first got broadband. I was on dial up before that. And fvck all before that I remember that blue background which changed to the black and yellow when Heavy Traffic was imminent. It was only 22 years ago (gulp). I was still in my 40's! And not even my late 40's

Wow, plenty of memories and blasts form the past there!! I joined up in 1999, didn't post much, mainly lurking but what a place to check up on Quo after years and years in the wilderness. Thanks for posting 4th.

I remember Ricky's board going into meltdown. The arguments just seemed to come from nowhere about strange subjects mostly to do with non Quo issues. I remember some of the names.
Chinnyhill, he did the F1 League
EAP (English And Proud, he was ill and I'm not sure if he made it)
Lady Antibellum
Mac
Old Slug
Cactus Pete
Rick Roper
To name but a few.

What happened to Swiss cheese aka rhino 🦆 A number of years ago my close buddy (bluehighway) told me in strict confidence 😇 that swisscheese was in fact his very good friend……. Andy Bown! Andy loved logging on to this site, and previous boards, while on the touring bus. Andy was a very funny fella and was great at doing a Swiss accent and had a lot of fun writing his posts using that ‘accent’, and loved the reactions after winding up a lot of readers of his posts. Just a way of passing time on the bus. Still to this day the mysterious Tony Carey has that conspiracy cloud over it.🧐

Looking at those names brings back some classic memories. I remember townsvillequo having those arguments about a FF reunion with Teleboogie and fisherman(who were devout Quo lite fans). Well, the day the reunion was officially announced, I’m sure Tele and the fish would’ve blown blood vessels at the shock announcement especially to see Townsville having the last laugh!!😂
Another member was that Iveparfitt(?) having daily arguments with just everyone on the board especially Davyno😂👏🏻👏🏻. How about that time when Ive was supposed to meet wolfman for that punch up at some Quo tribute band gig.. wolfman didn’t show up.😳😂
How about that 15 page, 2 week long argument/debate Davyno had about the moon landing with that board member….oh it was me. 😎 Great times.
