Well that didn’t work. About 50% of the posters were Mackems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gloom was also a member of nufc.nu if I remember correctly. It's 20 years since I registered there though so could be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a different place to me I’m not saying there were a lot of racists. But it seemed like the idea was that pretty much everything should be accepted. And then there was this guy who polluted every thread with his love for Freddy Shepherd, if I remember correctly. Maybe it got better later, I haven’t been there for many years.

Guest HTT II Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Despite the ‘forum wars’ which was, I must say, mainly me being an absolute cunt and taking it personally and behaving like a fucking bairn at the time, it’s still part of the whole history of N.O and vice versa so it’s sad to see it go, can’t someone not just take it over? They can’t let it die a perpetual death man FFS. Good times either way and there were some top posters on there who were also on here, dunno how many still are on here if at all, but I hope it starts up again and if not, anyone from there is more than welcome on here, more the merrier. I did say though, this place was GREAT! As for Reddit, I can’t think of a worse platform for NUFC discussion, but then the resit groups I am part of I mainly just read. Toontastic will be back one day just like our club is back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Skunkers wasn’t for the feint hearted, as edgy as it got and how it crossed the lines a lot, it was hilarious and in a day when stuff could be said and not be taken out of context or was more light hearted, it was class to read, frightening at times to post on though. Toontastic was always N.O’s little baby (half) brother though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I can’t remember much racism on Toontastic. Maybe it changed in later years. There were a few interesting characters with some pretty left field opinions but I’ve seen and heard much worse. And as much as LeazesMag was a tedious apologist for Shepherd and the Halls he was absolutely right about Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I’ve only ever posted on here. I’d moved to London in 2010 I think and was massively homesick. I was a guest lurker for ages and then finally made an account in Jan 2011. Never been on Toontastic but I loved this forum so much between 2010-2014 I’d say, it began to suffer for a few years until Rafa injected some life into it but it really feels like it’s on its way back up now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly chose this at the time because it had by far and away the best design and UI and it seemed the most active. All I remember of TT was some of them on there being snooty about SackPardew and AshleyOut, I'm sure most are sound though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Mind, I wouldn’t be joining the Reddit thing reading this intro… “A refuge for a relatively small number of Newcastle United fans who have nowhere else to live because we're a bunch of misanthropes. If you want access, let us know who you were on TT in the request. If you're new, that is fine too but we're generally not very nice to new people until we get used to you and then...we're still not nice but in a different way.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
