Sooda Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Aye; Aditi was a mod there http://www.rivals.com/forum.asp Indian cricket fever used to be on that^ before they migrated to SportNetwork. Not quite as old as Yoda, but am thereabouts on the wiseness stakes.
spectre Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Congrats to everyone part of ICF love every bit of this forum Wish ICF and its team the very best, Keep rocking fellas :icflove:
Malcolm Merlyn Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Great write up, Dhondy! Loved every bit of it! I think Aditi is also from that time. There used to be a website called Rivals or something similar around 8-10 years back. good to see you shwetabh.........we miss ur intelligence around here
Jersey #10 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 ^^ 8-10 years back? damnn I was discussing cricket 1st on DT with quite a few of the guys on here. That was about 5 years ago I think I was discussing cricket 1st on DT which was about 2 years ago. Then I posted on BWT for almost a year. now on CFL...lets see how long this stay lasts

iHammad Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Congratz ICF! Rajiv, Gambit, and Dhondy are awesome
Bharat12 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Good going guys, I'm pretty new on here and have barely posted but it looks a great forum with plenty of interesting debate too.
Rajiv Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Besides talking about the old legs over and over, many props to the recent newbies to the site I feel a site is all about mixture and its great to see we have nerdville to smiley kings to occasional posters As long as everyone is enjoying themselves
yoda Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I would like to take this opportunity to thank folks like varun, ludh and whoever else is responsible for adding several cool features to this site like SS (which was started by varun at SN), games, Betting, etc. These make this site more fun than a regular site to discuss cricket.
Nova Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I don't post that often, but I am sure happy to be a part of this forum even though sometimes as a lurker. Thanks for the good work by the Mods and founding members. It is something to be proud of. Congrats to everyone :two_thumbs_up:
Master Blaster Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Congrats guys. ICF money to everybody who posts in this thread?
Mr. Wicket Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Been a fun ride so far. Certainly a long one since the days of jokes and banter on the old boards, especially the stuff directed at the neighbours. Since leaving SN the site has come a long, long way thanks to Ravi's leadership and generosity in funding this venture, and Varun's tech genius. We've gone from a couple of boards for cricket talk, informal chat and making fun of neighbours (on both boards) and a small java chat to this - a fantastic site with a lot of great content, features like the ever-awesome SuperSelector, videos and betting leagues, and thanks to some great people. Varun, Ravi, Shwetabh, Dhondy, Gambit, Bumper, BossBhai, Rajiv & Rahul Nair, who helped start this from scratch and build this site up, thank you again for creating this. Meanwhile, random thoughts from the old board and this one: - Is amits' girlfriend challenge the greatest pwnage ever achieved in any one thread in ICF history? :D - Anyone else remember the hysterically funny Kiwi brigade on the old site; Donsteppa, KP, BartMan and co.? Hilarious guys, and used to drive Anil nuts. - Are there many people more knowledgeable and passionate than Gaurang/KDG/Birbal when it comes to Indian cricket and Indian cricket history? - Five years later, are the neighbours still whining 'jeet lo dil' about that series in 2004? :D - What was bigger, the eruption of fury on these boards during day 5 of the Sydney test in 08, or the madness on the old site that ensued after the Tendulkar offers Bucknor the light escapade?

Sooda Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I remember the Kiwis on ICFever; and how- i dont know why- they alway called Kyle Mills the Goatherd Cant agree more re: Gaurang. The guys knowledge was encyclopedaic (sp.) Why dosent Bumper post much nowadays? and where is Predator? he was good- esp for his football knowledge...
Temujin Khaghan Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 i think apart from the healthy discussion and fun we have here, the entertanment package here is awesome. Congrats to the ICF founders and maintainers. There is so much truth in what dhondy said, ICF is very addicting.
