Please tell me that was never a real mailing list. If it was my bowels may well commit hara-kiri.

I guess technically it was a message board, but I would've liked at least the opportunity to not vote for it.

I thought Zef's mailing list was countdownonline, unless I'm missing something...?

Didn't think Zefcountdown was a message board. Countdownonline was Zef's brainchild.

Yeah I got confused. Countdownonline was Zef's board. Amusing that he still posts there.

Indeed- research suggests zefcountdown was just an online persona, and a website last updated seven years ago, which introduced recaps to the world in much the same way an elephant with a paintbrush introduced us to portraiture.

Countdownonline, however, was a mailing list where, if you didn't post recaps of online games within a certain time limit, Zef would visit your house and knife you in your sleep.

ITV is more popular than Channel 4. Doesn't mean it's better. :mrgreen:

I'm neutral, so I'm not voting in this poll.

I am equally happy with either mailing list!
