Vassago who lusted after MG, who tried to destroy this place when Shell was in charge. Whispergate! The visits here during that time went into the thousands. Budgie had a field day and came up with his funniest skits at that time. The doomed lovers had many obstacles, least of which was Vass's wife and three kids. He'd sit on the couch right next to her and post to MG. I might have felt sorry for him if he'd had the balls to be honest and tell the poor woman the relationship was over and he was moving on. At least she'd have been able to pick up the pieces and kick him out. Of course, he couldn't pay any maintenance in a situation like that as he didn't have bloody job, for all his The Big I Am posturings.
Diamonds. What happened to her. She kept Budgie in a festering dither when she'd get drunk and start posting filth on Dogs. He'd take the piss out of her mercilessly while begging for MOAR!
JO. He kind of withered and died when Budgie left here. Their parry's and ripostes were worthy of a duel at dawn. But it got boring as hell after the first few posts.
Don't forget Femme Fatale Hobbit (can't remember what she called herself on here) and her Dangerous Liasons plot to belittle Legend after he had rebuffed her advances (eventually)
Jo and Budgie were never funny, they just thought they were. I found Budgie to be vile, Jo was just a troll.
However, my experience (over 19 years on forums) is that there are way more nice, funny, kind posters on the forums I have been on. I reckon I only found about 10 of them unbearable... so that's not bad going.
There were some hilarious posters and some horrors.
I like Tyts even though she wound everyone up.
Some of the horrors were Tropfatigue, who conjured up this bloated fop like character and peppered his posts with French in some kind of desperate effort to sound sophisticated and superior. He was behind some doxing and used NAA as his fag hag sidekick.
NAA who boasted she had hard drives full of grabs and future doxing material. She stamped around Dogs with this hard, masculine energy but sounded like a lisping idiot in real life. She nurtured a fearless, aggressive persona for years then crapped her Y fronts because she didn't want the Russians to have access to her IP.
Poor old El Guapo, the Italian Shetland Pony, who fell for Northern hook line and sinker. Said he was a solicitor/gangster and would tear Budgie apart tendon by tendon. He threw a massive tantie when I suggested Italian tanks only had a reverse gear!
Budgie was bloody hilarious. He was rude, obscene, witty, annoying, full of shit, pain in the arse, etc. But he was funny and used to make me laugh. I'll never forget him telling an outraged Xtras that he'd stared for ages at her photo but couldn't muster any tumescence! (don't mention Dave Bacon!!!)
Micky, who can forget dear old Micky the human blunderbuss! He was probably one of most inadvertent comedians on forums. He was a useless, thick, bumbling clown but somehow managed to keep Fresh Horizons bubbling with laughter mostly aimed at him.
Last but not least, the ghastly owner of Dogs..... It's only when I look back at him at his worst that I realise what a sad, lonely and embittered soul he was. Perhaps he still is, but hopefully he's moved on and out of the negative pool of shit that Dogs became. I think the healthiest thing he did for himself was close that forum.
Stoo just took his show to social media which can be as toxic as Dogs if you climb into the darker holes..

Each to their own. I found the Major to a nasty old racist. But there you go.

Wonder what happened to Lola, she just vanished. I really liked her.
Lola was hounded off forums by a few particularly nasty trolls. She was nice.
I think back then, when forums could be particularly pretty horrible, they were not for everyone, thankfully the worst ones have gone now.
Oh we’re still here. Watching, waiting.
Hoping a few posting in this thread will be on the list of the flounced soon tbh.
Gosh, that's so scary.
They are here. Someone posted my full name on here. I don't think you or Diggs noticed, and I didn't really care because in 2026, it's different world. Forums are tiny, and social media is huge, and our names are out there everywhere.

I'm sorry that happened. If either of us had noticed that we certainly wouldn't have allowed it.

You've put up links to your video clips that show your full name above the clip. Just so you know that's where they might have seen it.
As an aside, I know that anonymous posters get flak from the regulars for being just that, but even registered posters are essentially anonymous in that they hide their true identity behind an invented name.
And as some of you have pointed out, in some cases the actual person can be quite different from their screen persona.

Not all regulars are anonymou, and they have to use a genuine IP to join..
When I first posted on the Mirror I joined with my real first name, and I have had no reason to change it. Some of us have also put pics up, so we are certainly not as anonymous as Anons, who are allowed to use proxies.

I do see why having anonymous posters can be annoying at times - for instance if you reply to one, then one replies back to you, you can't be sure if it's the same person or someone else. But then I suppose if you are using a public part of the site that's always going to happen, it'll attract anons and the only way to avoid it is to keep it members only.
By the way, what's this proxy thing, I have to admit my ignorance here. Is it where someone hides their IP address - if it is, I can't quite see what the point would be, or if it would present a problem?
Using a proxy is just another layer to hide behind, and some people like to deliberately goad with as much anonymity as possible....cowards.
I have no problem with genuine anons who prefer not to reveal their real IP....though God knows how much info they think a genuine IP shows.
When I posted from Wales, my IP usually came up as posting from London.

If this is true then its horrible.
Moderation needs to be tightened, how did an anon posting a real name get through ? Dogs was a doxers paradise and we don’t want that here. Glad I post only as an anon.

Oh, stop playing to the gallery and shit stirring, you unconscionable bore.
