Not exactly, the owner of the original nthellworld.com site, sold it to NTL back in, I think around 2002, and was briefly employed by them. In its then form, the forum was closed by NTL about a year later.

In an amazing display of not understanding how websites work, NTL failed to realise that this person also owned the domain nthellworld.co.uk, and a forum based on that domain name was set up - because who could possibly have seen that coming!

That forum then became the precursor of this forum, it was renamed and relaunched prior to NTL and Telewest merging to form Virgin Media.
