Will Hughes Hair Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 9 hours ago, Raich Van Carter said: I was on Ramslist before forums were a thing then wrote the code for the original rams.co.uk before CMS’ and off-the-shelf web software was a thing. Then came up with the idea for the original rams.co.uk forum. I nearly took over the forum when DET wanted out but wasn’t sure I could commit the time as others have to manage it properly. I can’t remember half the stuff that went on over the years. Basically I’m old. Was Ramslist a bit like Craigslist but exclusively for the good folk of Derbyshire?

Big wins away at Yeovil and Millwall, although if I remember correctly Burnley dicked us at home, probably by that same scoreline. I remember on one of the old forums being upset we didn't have the ambition to try and sign Austin from Swindon at the time. Then he preceded to score a brace every time he came to PP with Burnley.

CornwallRam Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 After about a year of lurking, my first post was on (I think) Ramarena. I posted that despite his lack of league experience, Derby should consider Nigel Clough as our manager - this was about 3 months before he was appointed. I was quite taken aback by how much abuse I got. I remember a poster called Mark La calling me a moron and saying the the club would never appoint him. The grief I got put me off posting for a while. I couldn't resist going back on to bump the thread though. Then joined the old DET forum - which I really liked. When it closed down I joined COYR and about a year later started on here. One thing I do remember from here is @David once being at pains to point out that the cash that he made only just covered the cost of running the forum. He was a bit put out by suggestions that he made a money out of it. Hopefully he now makes living from this - his hard work over many years has, I think, improved the lives of Rams fans everywhere and should certainly be rewarded.

So the reports of a 2019 reg AMG E-class registered to the forum driving around the Humberside region with a large "don't use add blockers" sticker on the back window are entirely false? ?

No real decision making process, just that this one popped up first on google. i think it’s benefited from a bit of incredible foresight / luck: - A google freindly name, that actually makes it sound like the official forum (which is probably why Derby county had an issue with the logo at one point, I miss the temporary replacement logo, it was cool). - choosing a platform that has evolved into clearly the best forum platform around (I know how this can definitely more luck than judgement, you just have to back a horse, but if you pick the wrong one, it’s an absolute nightmare to switch platforms). those twists of fate, along with @David’s hard work, and ability to jump on the opportunities that arose, all contributed. ps I miss Daveo, whatever happened to that guy?
