Wow! I remember this so well. Russ, you conducted the most epic piece of spamming ever to go unpunished at nthellworld.com, everyone was waiting for the mysterious Keyser and his crew of the usual suspects to push the go-live button, and I had to go away for the weekend ... at a time when if you couldn’t get your hands on an actual computer, you couldn’t get online. I got home on Sunday night, about 48 hours post launch IIRC, and found you lot had let hell loose on NTL. :D. Fun times indeed.

Glad to have been a major player in the rebirth of nthellworld all those years ago, free from the grasps of NTL.

Quote:
nthellworld was one of the first mainstream independent consumer lobby groups in the United Kingdom, whose main focal point was British ISP and Cable television company ntl Group. nthellworld.com was created by Frank Whitestone, a university student, in November 2000 to create a community where people could discuss NTL issues, submit their own views of the company and publicise ntl's failings.

Frank Whitestone later joined NTL and sold nthellworld.com to them in the process. ntl:home, as the consumer division of the NTL was known (now Virgin Media), closed nthellworld.com in November 2003. However, in June 2003 after foreseeing the closure of the original nthellworld site by NTL, Neil Crayne and Mick Ramsden, launched a new version of nthellworld using the domain nthellworld.co.uk, which was purchased from its original owner by Frank Whitestone as an insurance policy shortly after joining NTL. In February 2004, nthellworld was renamed Cable Forum in preparation for an NTL - Telewest merger and to shift the emphasis of nthellworld in a positive direction. In October 2005, merger plans were confirmed by ntl and Telewest boards. NTL (Now Virgin Media) provides an official community forum for its customers.

To ALL Members.

As a Co-Owner and one of the original founders of this website and a former Administrator of the original nthellworld.com, who had foreseen what ntl was doing to nthellworld.com - I cannot thank you enough for your continued participation. 21 years strong (Includes the 3 years on the original). Thank you!

Mick (AKA from the first day of launch, Dr Plummer) - Paul (Pem) and the rest of the Cable Forum Team. :D
