how did you get into cricket foruming and cw?

Grecian WAC

 

[nightprowler10]

I actually joined looking for recommendations for a cricket game. Didn't find much here so joined PC and eventually bought Cricket 2004. Both join dates were around the time the '04 Champions Trophy took place so I started posting in CC pretty much right away here while defending Inzy the greatest captain since Imran Khan, and on PC looking for Cricket 2004 patches.

Some guy called Sledger.

Some guy called Sledger.

You and several others, I recall. None of whom had much of a grasp of punctuation or grammar.

My 13-year-old brother's friend told me about it, a very long time ago, when James' interview process was "do you want to be a writer?" and "do you want to be a mod?"

I've now been on CW for longer than most of the boys I'm now coaching have been alive... and that's a depressing thought for the day.

I googled "cricket forum". No joke.

I did too.

Most of them probably were Sledger in some form or another.

Had a good 2/3 year hiatus then for some reason starting posting properly in about 2009.

Fantasy Cricket lured me in.

Found the site looking for cricket games. Just randomly lurked onto the forum one day six years ago.

True story.

So what you're really saying as that as one begins to suffer from erectile dysfunction one posts more - I dare say that is why thee and me have relatively low post counts

Can confirm. I can only distract myself for so long after my 1.73 posts per day.

Probably googled 'cricket forum' or something in 2007.

Disappeared (thankfully) because 2007/08 me was an incredibly dire poster (yeah, yeah, nothing's changed etc.)

Showed up again probably around late 2010 or something because why not, and used CW as a great method of procrastinating the HSC. It continues to serve me well at Uni.

My interest in cricket spiked after my interest in AFL plummeted, so I needed an outlet and I found it after a quick google search. For some reason I didn't post for about 6 months after my first but I'm quickly making up for lost time. Tis good fun to watch cricket and post in match threads at the same time, plus like Dan I find it an excellent procrastination tool.

 

[Senile Sentry]

Googled "over the hill test cricket web forum"

 

[BeeGee]

Googled "cricket forum" and ended up wading through many steaming piles of **** forums and pretty much gave up. Then I googled "big wobblers" and ended up here.

 

[ajdude]

came in the front door, james must've left it unlocked

 

[Mister Wright]

I was introduced to CW forum through World Club Cricket which unfortunately is not running anymore.

 

[Furball]

I can't remember. I used to chat cricket on the Sports Interactive boards but I think I wound up here because I wanted a forum dedicated to cricket. Plus most of the cricket fans on the SI boards were spackers.

Think it was because I spent one New Year so ill I couldn't do much bar sit with a bucket by my PC and play either Football Manager or ICC (bit like the rest of my time at uni, but with less booze and more sick). Was that bored in the house on my own (everyone else had gone home for New Year, but I'd stayed at the house) I needed people to talk to, and wanted to find some hints and tips on ICC - This place had the liveliest ICC section (think I signed up for PC around the same time, never use it though)
