great forum. 👍

Have a look at this old thread, ringing a bell.

LINKY POO™ https://www.carpforum.co.uk/Shared/Messages.asp?TopicID=404775

Yup both

Aye, moved over here when CEMEX turned into The Anglers Forum and proceeded to go rapidly downhill.

Yep, I was on there under same name lol.

Yep same but with a O not 0.

What happened to people like Hippy, Santa and Ladders

Can't even remember if I registered with the old Semtex forum. But I didn't really get on with it to behonest, Found it a bit Cliquey. Some of the members thought they held sway over what was right and wrong in Carp fishing. But no doubt at times as mentioned could be an absolute treasure trove of information. Bit of a double edge sword for me.

Carpy forum. Wasn't that a bit lawless..All the members ****ing everyone of at every opportunity

Who remembers " That ain't no Bream " Forum. Bit Yateley centric that one..

i was on it

Arh carpy.co.uk days.... plenty of nutters on there... throughly enjoyed it. Cemex was good laugh and pretty savage at times..... social media changed things i guess.

Yes I was on there.

Wasn't the first forum Fishing Warehouse?

I was on cemex, I remember a great ongoing thread about the mere with Alan Tompkins (rip) and Terry Hearn/ jim shelly and a few other super stars going at it, some really good information on bait too on that forum, as said it went downhill when it changed to anglers forum,

In reply to Post #14
There was a pretty good one on here too with Jason Hayward giving away some great nuggets of info but it got lost after some kind of site crash. The Cemex one was brilliant.

I was on both.
The good old days indeed.

I spent most of my time on here but did have a dabble on Cemex as Sir_Blankalot

In reply to Post #1
I was on Cemex and FW . . .the only thing you've missed is everyone is 20yrs+ older

I was lurking on there for 10-12 years before I sidelined the carp fishing,
One day I was clearing up my old logins and favourites, I clicked on the site found that the forum had ceased to be.
Like all forums that shut down- a font of knowledge lost to those prepared to use the search function,

Hitler gets banned by Cemex on YouTube, absolute classic

In reply to Post #1
I was there same name

In reply to Post #1
Me too.

And 'Anglers Net' prior to that.

In reply to Post #29
Was on both with a similar name, re the Carpy forum, yes it was a fruity with its language, but i am friends with and still fish guys from that forum to this day. We may have come across as a bunch of rude mouthed louts but we were far from it. We had a few get together's on various lakes and rivers over the years.

Cemex was excellent in the early days with everyone on there sharing knowledge and tips, having a laugh and dare i say "baiting the mods!"

The "seldom Caught Lumps" thread was my all time favourite as it led to me creating some pop ups to prove the OP wrong that any bait can catch in the right place at the right time.

Thus was Born Baity Baits- Peach Sweet Pink Pussy Pop Ups! Rolled professionally by another member on there. Another member donated pots, my company paid all the shipping and ever penny i made went to the Micheal Sobbel Caner Centre that looked after my mum in her final days.

Great times, better times, fun times.

In reply to Post #30
I just Googled pink pussy pop ups. Definitely fishy they are 😃.

In reply to Post #29
And fishing magic.

Loads of forums when the internet was a baby lol

In reply to Post #32
Fishing magic was great; Lee Swords used to write some great stuff but the forum was tame compared to some.

I missed all the old carp forums as was barbelling and the barbel wars on the forums were great; sound like the old carp forums to be fair.

BFW was full of users with multiple user names and winding people up was the sport; this sprouted BFAMW which was funny too. That's where my user name AKA came from.

Did people in the '70s talk so fondly about the 50s like we do with the 90s and early 2000s now?

In reply to Post #33
I was on cemex as sou'wester, shame its no more.

In reply to Post #33
BFAMW was very funny. Found myself on the end of a few wind ups. But the guys I got to know through it were sound. Still in touch with one or two.

BFW was good too - had some superb Barbel fishing with guys from there.
