I gave it a miss that time, but by the time I was ready to meet every one, well, I felt like I'd known everyone for years. ntl.talk was more than just a bit of electronic communication, it ended up a fully grown community both online and in Real life. I've made some of the best friends I ever had there, its really been a lifeline for me. The group is gone now, but the community will be a very long time vanishing. :) I came to .talk at a very bad point in my life, didn’t take long before I was invited to one of the famous get togethers.

It was very diverse, but at the same time very close knit. There's not many communities like that one left in the web and to be part of them (no matter how many you're a part of) always makes you feel special and it's a shame a bit of the web is dying with it. However, I'm sure most of you guys will find a way to spread the love to other parts of this great wide web.

Too busy elsewhere to post much in Talk but I always read it, enjoyed the piccies of the parties and even met a few Talkers. Good luck in FUNTO, no big company can destroy the community spirit which was NTL Talk. Sorry to see the end of a unique community like Talktown.

Gone but NOT forgotten. Hopefully FUNTO has and will take over and we can all get used to the new name but old traditions. Take care all and see you around. Hi Shell,

Take care all and see you around.

We've had good times and bad times, but throuought the life of talk we've always had friends to share them with. The name shouldn't matter, but its like an old friend who introduced us all, and as a friend would be, talk will be missed. So we now reside in FUNTO, and when I have time inbetween studying and living, I'll be in there catching up with the friends I made in talk. Lets hope we can keep the spirit of talk alive for generations to come. Pretty much everything has already been said.

I'm not sure when I first discovered it, but I do remember everyone moaning for months about not receiving their "free internet for life" disks, I think I finally got mine in August 2000, must have been on PAYG before then, can't really remember. We've had lots of happy times, a few sad ones (remember Allen and his "Sunday Sauce"?) I had the pleasure of meeting several of the talk residents at a BBQ in 2004, and have every intention of attending more get-togethers in the future.
