TBF They have been going ages now.

Do you mean the B2 by the 'tbf'? Re the B1, blimey, as per the thread, it's been around how long, 15 years (seems longer to me, where does the time go). I did enquire on the old NM site but never got round to using it.

TBF They have been going ages now. Don't know a lot about the Staffordshire Carp scene (Only fishing i've done in Stoke is on a Thursday Night in Valantinos) But he seemed to have a decent group of anglers on it back then. The Scientific baits fella was a bit of a loon who used to kick off with anyone and everyone. And Im Sure Mark would correct me if im wrong but he was one of the earliest to try and rip off the Specialized Hookbaits.

I was on the forum and the other bait was an orange colour and I’m sure a crab flavour. And yes scotty did like a bust up.

Many a funny wind ups on there… used to be a few people who prebaited on it and then got some savage takes πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Correct and I think they are still going. From memory a few people got on them. They had a pretty decent following. I think the bloke who made them was called Scotty, used to have bust ups on the regular with a fella called Dean who had Scientific Baits and liked a row.

I can't remember their name now, but did anything come of the Bacteria B boiles I think they were called, white with blackish bacterial lines on them from memory? There was another too but can't remember it.

I used to follow it avidly but never did understand most of the in jokes.

Was a goldmine of info and the classifieds were great.

I was a fishing warehouse regular.
Really good site full of information but a good laugh.
Not sure why it went Pete Tong.
I then slid onto Northern monkeys but yes the site kept crashing so I went onto Cemex and now here.
The northern monkeys and FW was mainly northern anglers and as we have a superior intelligence 🧠 I don't know why it evaporated 😂

I think carpforum is doing well when you look at the social media competition and long will it remain.

Take care out there peeps.

Let's hope this time next year we'll be out of this monkey 🐒 snot virus ☢ 💩 episode.

It's going to be a long haul.
