I dont think their was any censorship really on nthw.com. I do think that the moderating the mods did was forced on them by nthw. It would be nice if they appeared here sometime but I doubt that will happen until ntl have the guts to completely shut nthw.com, which will just benefit us. lol, dumbasses, did they really think the nthw.com members would go for that pr garbage?

Not a bad name for a band actually ;)

Sociable 20-06-2003 22:44

Sociable by name and nature (I hope)

Retired Social Worker in my latest "incarnation" but was in international sales and marketing for 20 years before seeing the light.

First computer I programmed was one of the original ICL 1900 series ones that even pre-dated decimal currency. I now live in a small flat that would have fitted into that Mainframe with room to spare and have a wris****ch with more processing power than it had. :)

Should be interesting to see how this site develops and will try my best to continue to mix helpfullness with constructive critisism of NTL when I feel it is appropriate and praise when its due.

LOL had to come back and comment on the bad word filter will obviously need to "watch" what i type now :)

Tezcatlipoca 20-06-2003 23:04

Fred Smith 20-06-2003 23:22

NTL customer since March 2003, 600K BB would have been February if NTL got their finger out and actually installed on install day!

And NO it not my real name. Live in Reading; work in Slough and occasionally Ireland (Limerick, Cork and Dublin).

Internet user since the days YOU paid BT around £17.50 per month for an ISP (no inclusive connection time) and then paid for 0845 access at 14.4K! Around 1993? Hey that's ten years on-line, doesnââ‚ÆšÂ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t time fly?

Still use GSM at 9K6 and 28K8, satellite one way at 300K occasionally, but now mainly NTL 600K at home and slow '300K' at work and 28K8 out of the office.

Hi,

My name it Tony. I've been over at .com since April 2002, but I mainly lurked. I think I'll try to be more active here, but I'll definately be checking community out - just to see whats going on ;) I do agree with the conscensus that Community or at least NTL's desire to seperate NTL from .com will kill it, even if it takes a while :(

Alan Waddington 21-06-2003 00:48

Well loads of .com folks have registered here, so in best me too style, so have I. With the loss of ntl technical discussion, nthellworld.com looks too limited. The ntl community site may well be useful for official help, but most of the time all that is needed is a bit of advice. Time to reset my homepage too.

As for the avatar well you guessed it i play the drums as well.

vaiolator 21-06-2003 06:14

I hope this site works out, for all of us. It's good to see loads of familiar names here already.
As for an introduction...well....my name is Sean. I have loads of experience in banging my head against NTLs brick wall of customer (dis)service.
I need help more often than I can give it, so I usually just read posts unless I know I can help.
Good luck nthellworld.co.uk
