akshayxyz Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I see lot of new users joined ICF - before WC, after WC win, start of England series. Or some such significant cricketing event. For me it was December 2009, Sehwag's landmark innings of 293 vs SriLanka. Before that I would usually comment on CI, TOI anonymously, but there was this discussion about Viv vs Sehwag on CI. and they blocked comments. So, after quick Googling and I was here on ICF.

Yoda-esque Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I had been lurking since last year and tried to join during the WC after the draw with England. However, since Indian draws/losses are what attracts trolls too..my account was probably rejected or something :(( I finally was able to join post WC :yay:
akshayxyz Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 hmm, that was more like the intro about person joining. I intended this one to list down key cricketing events. Feel free to merge.
Cricketics Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I used to visit old forum but never posted. Since I was very much involved with my own forum. I didn't really like the look of that old forum but still used to visit that bukhar site often just to read comments. Also I remember Rajiv used to have somewhere on left side a link to another page where he had embeded a media player where one would get too see some latest 2 mins quick highlights of innings or a player or sometime some old game highlights. There were times I would not visit that for about 2-3 months. Then one of my friends told me about this site and also I think Rajiv through a pm on DT back in 07. Also there was another website which I used to visit and post a lot on. It was also run by Ravi. It was called Overthewicket.com. I was pretty active on it.

Ram Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Pre world cup, 2007. Saw one of Rajiv's youtube videos with the icf watermark on it. One of my first posts was an hopeful/inspirational essay (no surprises there :D) as to why I had then felt that we had an excellent chance to win the cup. We then proceeded to get knocked out B’desh in the first round. :((
asterix Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Anu_D mentioned once about this site in the Bukhar site.. :giggle: I used to lurk in both the Indo and Pak sites in Sportsnetwork. Then used to lurk here.. I don't remember what made me to join here but i'm happy to join here...
Vijay.Sharma Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I got thru a google search. I am relatively new to web forums / internet posting. I had been posting on r.s.c for a year and a half when I came across ICF and could kinda tell that some of dem rsc'ers were here too. I joined a couple of forums at that time - Nov last year and ICF turned out to be functioning more regularly than the others so just stuck with it. It's been a nice experience here, all in all.
Trichromatic Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I was looking for cricket forums because I was kinda fed up with some other types of forums.

Shane Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Rajiv's videos, but the members back then were full of awesomeness, Salil, bob, h4te, cochise, graphic23, were amongst a few who have stopped participating in the discussions here recently. It was fun times in the hood back then :D btw, one of the very first members whom I interacted with when I first joined was a member by the name Willow_on_fire, cool guy from Canada, he is now here with a different avtaar though :D
glogirl Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 @WC2011INDIA yep, and now i learned that is banned here....
Cricketics Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 btw, one of the very first members whom I interacted with when I first joined was a member by the name Willow_on_fire, cool guy from Canada, he is now here with a different avtaar though :D I remember. His initial id was willow on fir_6_6_6. Then admins shrinked it down to willow on fire.
maniac Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Since 2008,when I moved from Finance to IT,I had nothing better to do so I started lurking on ICF to kill time and one fineday decided
