That's because all 2009 data is lost. And i guess you signed up in 2009?
As for the 'f**k TF' thread, it's pretty ridiculous that there's this kind of rivalry between two forums that share the same interest. But what can you expect when the 4th post in this thread was from a senior member calling all the users of OTN 'American retards'. And then Rush doesn't help by trolling other thread. I mean, he can say he's 'just joking' like monkeyseemonkeydo will probably do (or not) but that's no way of getting out of it.
With regards to the f**k TF thread, it's plain to see that we do have two different styles of forums, at the end of the day if you came from the USA to the UK and expected to pay in dollars and demand Mountain Dew you're not going to get anywhere very quickly, same applies when the guys from OTN signed up to TF to realize they couldn't get validated / banned because there posts weren't up to the quality of TF (ie chevyblazer7446).
It's kind of Sad.
