I used to chat in 'The Den' loadsss and became good friends with Michelle, Niamh, Claudia, Joe, he who must not be named (yeah, James), Ross, possibly a few others, first.
Got in a little 'group' with Stacey (Courtney123 at the time), Steph and Jack - the whole Jourtney and Japhanie days. Became close with Beasty in that little era too, and then Paddy!
I was right addicted to the forum once.
