A Question to ask

[Heno]

Yes, you're right. I think the waybackmachine started looking for newmodelarmy.org in '98. Not sure if the url prior to that was different.

[Rusco]

But where are Ingo and other old geezers? Welsh-beard's still around. Sequioa225 and Ottodeth writes quite rarely... 

I think I saw recently a vid in YouTube which was a about Family. Ingo seemed to be the other of the makers.

first link to newmodelarmy.org I saw was printed on the sb cover 1998
only a few postings a week at that time, as tree-files in an folder - and mondays with PeterZychdownloads

I only got broadband in my flat about 18 months ago... that's how tech-stupid I am...

Must investigate further... be interesting to see MUCH older posts...

[Rusco]

Umm...oh, now I think you folks are right about the year 1998 as the birth of the site. In -95 the web was just build and sold along with the windows 95.

About Archive:

For some reason, I can't see anything in the pages Heno posted links about Wayback Machine. But when you survey the archive on your own by browsing first to Internet Archive and then looking for newmodelarmy.org, then it succeeds... Some time ago I tried to find some topics concerning the 30th Anniversary tours from 2009 here by searching the archive. I was actually a bit surprised how soon the topics seem to drown down. But I think it's because of the recent changes here due to the earlier spam problems (the text Viv has writen in upper right corner).

I first starting posting stuff on the probably about 2000 I had the username spider heid cant really remember much or names from then All i can recall was a guy named never wore clogs who was a bit of a annoying spamhead Does anyone else remember him or her

[Heno]

not sure Rusco. I can see them. or maybe i don't understand the issue

[Rusco]

I couldn't see the pictures. When I tried to view images (by right click) there was a text saying "can't open images / not allowed because of the robots" or something. Only thing I saw was a text from the main page about the album coming out in 2000... But I realized it's a long time since I last used the archive and maybe just forgot how to use that. I could go to the page where it's possible to choose a year and months by their activity rate. However, it wasn't possible to open a viewpoint of any of the dates.

Using Firefox. Windows 7 pro.

got it. i can see some images but otherwise they are just the marker with the x in it.

How well I remember Peter and his Low Q mp3's. Mondays were more interesting then.

A Question about the "In-Ger-Land" and what's it meaning? I saw you folks mentioning it there. At times I drop out with yer local meanings.

It's just a phonetic spelling of the way the chant is sung - the word England only has 2 syllables so it's too short to be sung as, say Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton, or many others (Li-Ver-Pool, Ar-Se-Nal, E-Ver-Ton etc.). Therefore people tend to stretch the G to make it fit into the tune (En-G-Land, En-G-Land, En-G-Land etc.)

[Rusco]

Ok so there isn't any deeper meaning, like UKIP for In-ger-land or etc? 

[Master Ray]

Cheers guys,  I was kidding, don't think I expressed that properly, my bad.

I do remember lurking around on an NMA noticeboard for a long-time before I actually joined...

Rusco, do they not have a similar chant for your national team?

FIN-GER-LAND. !!!
