The short version is that following an argument on the official board between Warriors and Latics fans, one of the Latics posted an image of a parrot perched on an erect penis.

That was pretty much the last straw and the club shut down the official forum and left us to the independent forums.

He passed away two or three years ago. Brain hemorrhage.

What the **** ???

I had absolutely no idea.

And if anyone was upset by us talking about him, please accept my sincerest apologies and condolences.
He was a nice guy whenever I spoke to him.

I am sure no one is upset about us mentioning him in a thread about the history of Wigan RL forums. We used to exchange Christmas cards and having sent the overseas cards that year the one I got back was from his wife Irene explaining what had happened.

PD was a lovely guy. Always the calm voice of reason when some of us were getting a bit excitable.
I'm sure something was posted on here about his passing?
Very sad.
And yes PE, I do remember the Parrot Incident! Who could forget that one??
Our relationship with the footy fans in Wigan, was bordering on (forum) open-warfare back then.
Ahh..... The good old days 'eh!

My original profile got wiped out in a server crash, but I’ve been around since early 2002 in the days when dial up internet was still a thing

Some of the banter back then was hilarious, in fact, the first thing I did most mornings was to log on here and have a read through. I think this site, particularly in the past, contributed to building up rivalries and tension.

Good times!

Bring back the banter!

2002 for me, stumbled across the forum from a link one day on Mikes old board. Wasted alot of college lunchtimes arguing with DaveO . Still read most days i just dont have the same enthuiasm to post.

This thread is a great nostalgia trip!
