Looks like you didn't knock on wood!
I think I did eventually reach the top 10 posters sometime in 2003 or 2004, but i was nowhere near the likes of Tom (his Simpsons Avatar was everywhere), Martin or Erik. This forum was a convenient distraction away from my Computer Science coding/studying. I ditched the forum in early 2005. That's probably how I was able to graduate!
Indeed, Andy and Graham then ruled the place!
Anyway, it's great to see some familiar names. I'm feeling a bit nostalgic here.
