    When I joined in 2008 the forum was still was only a year old and still in it's learning stages, we had probably half a dozen or so categories and a couple of hundred active members. There was no such thing as Tapatalk and using a phone to access the forum was virtually impossible. We had no THCTalk radio, no competitions other than Plant Of The Month, No Respected Users or other groups and amongst many other things no Chat box.... How things have changed!

    A nice chap called Ragman created and built the forum in 2007 and over time with a little help from me, M_C, Bud Lightyear and a few other guys the forum grew, and grew, and grew...
    The forum became one of if not the most popular grow sites about which meant lots of people joining up on a daily basis. 99% of the members were and still are brilliant lads and lasses with the sole intention of learning and helping others to grow good plants whilst having a laugh and lots of banter in the process. Thankfully that still continues today.

    Obviously we had the odd members join up, sometimes from rival forums with the intention of causing grief and disharmony on the forum in the hope of seeing THCTalk fail and close down. With the Admin/Mods we had this was NEVER going to happen and slowly but surely these members were weeded out (excuse the pun lol) and sent packing. (anyone remember the Cockroach days?) lol

    Back in it's heyday, seeing a couple of hundred members online every night was a common occurence. Dozens of new threads were posted every day and the banter was brilliant. - For me, coming on here after dealing with a load of drunken wannabe-hardmen in nightclubs was a much needed stress reliever!

    In 2014 due to personal reasons Ragman had no choice but to sell the forum to the current owner, an American tasty-bird called Inky.
    She brought in a couple of her own friends to take over the Admin duties, while keeping on me MC and BL.
    This didn't go down well with a LOT of the regulars so we and the Mods at the time had our work cut out trying to calm the shit-storm that followed.
    We lost many unhappy members back then, some went off to try to form their own forum and some just left never to be seen again. Thankfully a lot of good guys stuck it out to see what would happen.
    As is always the case, over time things slowly got back on track.

    Which bring us to today...
    We have some bloody good members here now and the list is growing daily. - Competitions are becoming a daily thing, newbies are being welcomed to the forum and getting help when it's asked for from loads of you and for the most part the forum is chilled out with good banter and lots of laughs!
    Obviously with a community of people from all walks of life there will be the odd spat, clash or crossed word, it's inevitable... but the Mods do a good job trying to resolve these issues and restore harmony.

    So that's a brief history of THCTalk...

    Remember guys, real life and all the drama and shit that goes with it is out there!.... This is the place we come to to get away from all that, to talk about our favourite herb, to meet like minded friends and to have a laugh.
    I have no doubt that pretty soon we will have more active members than ever before and once again THCTalk will be the come-to place for all growers and smokers alike.

    See you on the boards my friends.
    Grub dude!!!!!!! Welcome back bud
