Happy birthday CF. So many years, so many people who I remember and are no longer with us and so many who are still here. Many thanks to the owners and the team that makes the survival of this community possible.

The only site on that list still going is us. :)

Chetnet seems to be a business now, and ntlhell sold their site to us some 13 years ago (by which time they had become cablehell).

The rest, no idea, gone over the years.

The seller sold it while he was in Cloud 9....;)

Re: Happy Birthday to Cable Forum

I suppose I should correct that and say 'gave' rather than 'sold'.
We didnt actually pay anything for it, but there was the ongoing cost of renewing the domain (until we dropped it a few years later).

Well technically you were already here :D
Your join date is 2009, the year before we acquired CH.

I also seem to recall they started back up as something else (I dont have the url to hand) but that died 2/3 years later.

The home page still exists but nothing else. Very out of date.
