9 Years 11 Months 25 Days
Well I managed to hide out on B3ta for a whole 3 days before Wifey tracked me down and moved in as a mod. First found out about B3ta from Jada. It was quite the best thing I had ever seen on the internet and really made me rethink everything I thought I knew about it. To draw a cultural parallel between the web and say music, Blode and Jada were like an Elvis, Beatles, Sex Pistols or Nirvana, shaking up all that had gone before. Up to that point Flash was the preserve of dull opening pages on corporate sites. After B3ta it was the engine of viral silliness. They made me realise that websites didn't have to be about anything to be brilliant fun and absorbing. And B3ta was online community were it all happened.
It inspired me to do a web thingy which try as I might to fill with Flash and silly pictures actually turned out to be all about tea and biscuits.
Mark my words one day BBC 4 will make a documentary about all of this I expect.

I knew you'd made it when I was on one of my train rides down to London for a bash
and people were having hour+ long debates at the table opposite about the latest reviews on your site.

As I said in my post, Giant Bee was so lovely. Even more so because it was done without knowing any better.

ello Nicey,
I remember meeting you and Wifey at a bash in the early noughties, fucking excellent night and I think Wifey was wearing a Blode tshirt. It was Jada that got me here too - *high fives*

*feels dizzy*

*needs a sit down*
