10 years of DonsTalk

Not many of you will know, but this month sees the 10 year anniversary of DandyDons/DonsTalk. The site originally started at www.dandydons.co.uk - you should be able to see how it looked back in the day by clicking on the link below:

The strap line is quite apt 'It's the Dadi' as we are the longest running independent Aberdeen FC forum. Back in 2002 the concept was for a fanzine with articles, news, etc but there was always a forum. Eventually it was decided that in order to drive traffic (as well as with hosting issues) that a dedicated domain was the way to go. Originally DonsTalk was a .com domain but again hosting problems caused it to be moved to our current .co.uk domain.

 

Thankfully those days are in the past and we have just paid for a new 2 year deal with our server hosts who are also the guys who run www.invernessreds.co.uk. Currently we are looking at increasing the connectivity between the forum and different social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook as this is the way many people are now communicating about Aberdeen Football Club.

It's a shame that most of the founding members don't post any more. Reekie pops up now and again. Dandy Don pops up very rarely to argue wi me.  :wave: Zoidy and Slim have disappeared off the face of the earth. Canna mind who else there was.

 

I wouldn't dream of arguing with you... ye Scouse-loving plamf!

 

There was also SMC!

 

Hard to believe it's 10 years on to be honest!  :o :o

 

Blast from the past min!

 

What about dandy fae cullen?

Bastards. I'm with Groucho. Any club that admits etc.

 

A decade of this horseshit? Seriously impressed. Usually only quality that lasts. Well done to the faggots who faggoted around and faggot still to bring faggoting faggotry to us fags. And fitba.  :thumbsup:

I'd like to take a moment to thank the DT Music Game Thread.

What about dandy fae cullen?

 

How could we forget dandy fae cullen? - he kept us afloat after being booted off our original hosts for too much usage...

The Mods are what keep the site going. Admin do nothing.  ;)

 

sorry scotfree but this had to be reposted

Stupid?

Racist?

Narrow minded?

 

Then why not become Donstalk's resident moron and constantly spout shite because you heard it from fellow racists and decided it might sound cool as your own opinion.  :hammer:

Suarez after another gig for next season?

I stil remember the day I entered discussions with DandyDon about amalgamating StandFree.com with DandyDons.co.uk. First headline I remember seeing on the original DandyDons news website was "Peter Kjaer exclusive interview".

 

It's been a very long road, but somehow DonsTalk has surfaced a decade old and stronger than ever! Hats off to the guys who took over the running of the site from me, Slim and DD. You guys have done an awesome job over the past three or four years.

 

Do we get one of those stars above our logo for surviving a decade?

Happy birthday Donstalk!  :beers:

 

If it wasn't for Donstalk/DandyDons, I wouldn't've got a taste for writing about AFC (remember my 'Weekend Predictions' articles on DandyDons? No, naebody does...), I wouldn't've then wanted to take over Aberdeen Mad and make it the outrageous success that it is, and I would have a life.  :wino:

 

So, mixed feelings overall.

Will the club give us a testimonial?

Will the club give us a testimonial?

 

On the basis that they gave the Dazzler one, I'd fucking hope so ;)
