I thought it would be interesting for our oldtimers to revisit the very first langcafe, and perhaps for our newer members to see where we came from...

Actually came across it by accident! Pity the second version is gone forever...

Oh, my god, I can't believe it's back up again!

Man, I miss Yann and Losse and all the others -- but it's amazing how the rest of us -- like you, me, greg, loic, Lazar -- have kept together for years, now!  We really are like a little family!

And looking at that list of topics, isn't it funny how we love to rehash the same old questions time after time after time?

I can always remember the first topic I created on Langcafe and it was created to time with the ongoing Ashes frenzy which England were poised to recapture back then.

They have since lost it again.

Of course, the reason why some old topics get recycled so often is because they give us so much fodder for discussion and debate. I think we all derive thrills from arguing for the sake of argument at times - finding a common platform is just not as important!

So where did all the people from that forum go? Yann, Frances, all the others? Why didn't they sign up to this forum?

Nobody knows. Yann started both the first and second versions, and then mysteriously disappeared (which is also why the second forum crashed, since that was a paid-for site). Frances and the others who are no longer around, all probably just lost interest somewhere along the line, and stopped posting even before the second forum crashed, so they are unaware of this forum.

This exchange between André and Sander in the "Who Killed Yann?" thread made me laugh when I first read it a year and a half ago. (Geez, has it been really that long? " alt="" border="0" /> )

Although he visits occasionally, I miss Sander. He's such a study in contradictions.

I just recalled the "hunk of langcafe" contest -- that had completely slipped my mind. In fact, I don't even remember who won it.

How could you forget? Julian won - both times. That means he is still the official Hunk of Langcafe.

Can't remember who won "lady of Langcafe" though - wasn't it Uriel?

We held that silly contest twice?? (Oh, I'm sorry -- wasn't it you who suggested it?)

It was silly, but quite fun, really!

What struck me about the old forum is the paucity of the discussion threads. It looked as bare as Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard.

But at least we had plenty of bones in it.
