Re: Happy Birthday to Cable Forum
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.

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 
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The bizarrely-named ‘Interhell’ appeared, running off an out-of-date backup copy of the Cablehell database.

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 Very out of date.
