Yorkie Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I came here via something called Sundayleague which was basically a fictional version of Fantasy Football. Username on there was Predator cos I was a nerd and a twat and remain so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Went on there and skunkers years ago, got called a cunt in my first posts, returned to here. ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejeck Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Thought Toontastic had died years ago. Remember posting my disgust on there when Souness was appointed manager but then it seemed to vanish. Skunkers was brutal but great entertainment. I had a login but was always too scared to post, saw several people get ripped to shreds over the years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Same here for Toontastic being my first NUFC forum. Migrated to Skunkers because, on there, if you called someone a cunt they didn't burst into tears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Toontastic was alright, I didn't like the layout of it though. It was good for a few of the old regulars on here years ago who left but were still on there. Hopefully we get some of them back. Skunkers though. A forum that at one point (or always) only let people from Newcastle post on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It's a damn shame. It’s never been as busy as this place (though it did pre-date it) but the Newcastle forum has been rejuvenated since the takeover. It’s been great fun to chat football again after years of boring brexit/politics debate in the general chat. A highly cliquey community put some people off (too perpetual for HTT) but for the middle aged core that have been chatting shit and exchanging injokes on a daily basis for close to 20 years, this is pretty gutting.

Still going but not many members - I think it was a victim of the Ashley/fans losing interest effect.

HaydnNUFC Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Looks like this thread was the reason it was taken down. This Dave was The Fish on there, decent poster.

In the end @HTT II proves to be the winner. Incredible scenes. Yeah, it came in handy when I wasn't able to post here, always felt a bit guilty using them as back up and then leaving as soon as time was served. Some really good posters.

In all seriousness, sorry to hear that, I'd be heartbroken if this place just disappeared from existence without warning.

Shearergol Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Trying to remember history a little bit here, but wasn't the original board actually Toonchat? Or did it go from Toontastic, to Toonchat back to Toontastic? I should know this, given it was Chayton (Craig) and I who created one of them in the first place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) If its truly gone then thats a shame. Cant even remember when I first signed up over there - way way way before NO split from it/merged/whatever??? Some very nice posters over there. Am sure I had a brief look last week or week before and all seemed well Edited January 24, 2022 by Lazarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toontastic was part of the absurdly long URL, got a redesign and changed to Toonchat then relaunched as Toontastic again after the merger which gave us N-O. Used to spend hours every day on Toontastic back in the Robson/Souness/Roeder years. Skunkers was great fun too. Still around albeit half dead and under a slightly different name iirc.

HaydnNUFC Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Wonder what Mako is up to these days. Came over to TT from here as this place had had enough of his shit patter only to plague TT with his shit patter. Back in like 2015 iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Shame that toontastic has gone. It wasnt very active but I liked the different flavour it had to the other NUFC boards. Skunkers was fantastic in its heyday but was slowly dying as it had lost some of it's edge before the rug got pulled. Some of the members are still here https://sk0nkers.boards.net/ but its not even remotely as good as skunkers. Walter the Mackem is still there but dont think toontoon migrated over to the place.
