JackArmy.net - Twenty-Five Years And Out

[DJack]

Paltalk was one of the best things about being a Jack before we started getting live games. If we could have had a live version it would have surpassed it but it was one of the only ways many from distance could get to listen to the games back then. Excellent times and even when we were crap the camaraderie made up for the result. Even made friends with some pompey fans

I got caught out a couple of times... fired up Paltalk just before the game only to find out that i had to update it on snail internet.

Everyword already spoken, the mad moments, the meltdowns, the sharing of the passion/madness and even more importantly, the community.

What am i going to do with my life from June onwards! Phil you ar***ole!

Lovely post and don’t forget this forum has enabled you to meet me many times.

Paltalk.. no live coverage, just a bloke in a room listening on the radio.. it's mad how much technology has changed.. sometimes paltalk would attract 100s

That bloke was me, I used to broadcast from my flat with the mic next to the speaker, remember playing bony m and random songs half time, good days lol

Absolutely gutted. Feels like losing a family member. Crossed swords with a few on here and never took it personally, just a difference of opinion. Hope someone can take over from Phil, who has done an absolutely amazing job. I know I've given him a few headaches over the years, but he has and always will have my utmost respect for running this site with fairness and without trying to "give it the big one." Adios, amigos.

Tis a sad day.
Phil is a legend and I love him and his lovely family.
Mind you I have dropped enough hints over the last few weeks that I wouldn’t be posting here next season you dopey twats.
25 years of my life down the shitter.
Thank you Philip.

Thank you Phil.

By the way, if you click on anyone's name you'll see how many posts they've made, and Darren currently has made 19,413 of them. Any bets that he'll reach 20,000 before final closure?

Sorry to see the site going, so firstly thank you Phil for all the hard work over the years and I wish nothing but the best for future endeavours. Think I've been around since about 199 something in whatever guise the site has been, been some memorable threads , espoecially the friday night club various crazy poster. One of my favourites was adding a few posting to the T*******rs dead whilst celebrating with a lot of drinks, think that one had over a 100 pages I was howling that night.
Met several posters from here and have become friends for a number of years.
Lisa has mentioned several memories and another one of the biggest was Paltalk, ok strictly not on here but we did always post that the room was open, several times we would get over a 100 people listening in and me putting the shits up people screaming wildly down the mic when we scored pre game and half time music, quiz questions and raiding the pompey room and all getting barred.
So all in all sorry to see it go, catch all around and about

Bloody hell… those pal talk rooms. That brings back memories. Crazy how our experience with engaging with football has changed in such a relatively small space of time.

Paltalk and now this. Thanks. Been a pleasure

Wow this really is sad news. A big massive Diolch to Phil and everyone else who has seen this site last so long.

Been reading these forums since I was in school going through the Petty era, then going through the league rises arguing with Boogie that Bussy was rubbish and also really enjoyed the few summers playing in the JackArmy.net football team, they were cracking days out.

Will leave a real hole for sure.

Can only echo the opinions of others as I’ve just seen this thread after it’s hit 8 pages! Thanks a lot for your work Phil. I really do hope that someone can take it over.

As the best poster on here, I find it's always quality over quantity. However, I'll see what I can do Glyn.

 

[Longlostjack]

I can now reveal that I, Darran Prosser, used to use this username to wind up the thickies on here.

Bloody hell, I’d never have guessed! Tell me you weren’t Dgt73 too!

 

[Pegojack]

Where on earth are we going to go for all things Swans now?

 

[Cwmbwrla Floatabout]

Perhaps La Jolla Jack will start a best in class site apparatus.

Thank you Phil for all the time spent.

I work in ecommerce. Part of my work is operating ecommerce websites. If anyone wants to continue this on, I'd be more than happy to offer some help/guidance where needed.
