The now deleted and probably forgotten saga of Dean**** -some number- and when he was rude to PostmanPot and his facebook details and picture and his mother picture etc showed up..

 

[Ancalagon]

The whole 2oceansvibe saga - when that guy posted that the listener stats must be fabrications. Lawsuits were exchanged, some heated words on radio (Darren Scott I think?).

 

[Haldex]

When the Boston bombing and Oscar Pistorius threads destroyed the TK

 

[APoc184]

Oh so many highlights

Afrihost's ADSL revolution, WebAfrica Red Africa specials for 100 MyBB members, Mweb Uncapped, Cell C Whoosh, Ballz Radio/Netdynamix listener numbers.... and many many more.

Then also the lighter stuff like Paul Main Man, KoeksGHT and his 120km/h in a car/truck dilemma.... and all the other Fails and cat fights!

Then there is also the prizes and MyBB clothing. Won't have anything to wear if it wasn't for the 6 MyBB golf shirts.

This place is somewhat addictive.

I've never quite understood the split between MyGaming BusinessTech and MyBB

[Tpex]

Probably when Afrihost started the ADSL revolution, which WebAfrica called "unsustainable" that really set this forum alight, people wanted to run charity ad campaigns to advertise for them.

 

[Paul Hjul]

While thinking about Afrihost:
Last year when Steers ran their R10 burger special thing (which ran into supply problems) Afrihost put forward a Databurgers special for R10. They eventually donated R20k to charity. This was in part a follow up on the Nando's advert which got a beautiful challenge.

Now if only the network operators adopted this sort of approach to their advertizing complaints instead of continuous tiffing at the ASA.
