I knew saving a copy was worthwhile.

Brief history
The Townend Forum or TEF is a web-based discussion group that was set up by Darren 'Dazzza' Gadd in 2004. Gadd set up the Townend after the forum that was previously used on the Swindon Advertiser became overrun with what TEFers commonly refer to as 'mongs'.

The Townend is a forum that on the outside looks like a forum dedicated to English League One Football team Swindon Town[[1]] but upon closer inspection it is an area that people discuss a range of topics from 'Frogs are well cool!' and FAO Ralphy!!!!!!!!! to Cannibal Lezzas!!!!!!!.

The forum was taken over by Whits in 2006, after Gadd ran off with an albino called Betsy. The forum is currently run by Barry Scott after Whits decided that he really couldn't be bothered anymore

as at 13.15pm 02/09/2009 The forum had a total of 1126 members who have made a total of 718727 posts.

[edit] Forum members
Glory Hunting Name TBC:
Glory Hunting Name TBC or GHNTBC has posted on the forum under a number of different guises, most notably Yeovil Red. He holds the record for the number of posts pretending that he doesn't really care about football anymore which stands at a staggering 72 in the space of just 90 minutes.

Si Pie:
Si Pie is a hugely popular member of the forum despite being an accountant. He has a staggering 26142 posts to his name, several of which are rumoured to be worth reading.

Shouty member who has an obsession with denim. His obsession with the fabric reached terrifying levels after even Status Quo sent him a message asking him to tone it down a bit.

King Of Tonga:
Night club owner and Curator of the Official Bronski Beat museum in Brighton.

Reg Smeeton:
Reg is famed for his encyclopedic knowledge of absolutely everything. More realistically he is known for his ability to be able to use the internet to find answers.

DMR:
Poet, intellectual, wit. David is none of these.

Sonic Youth:
Once upon a time Sonic Youth was an angsty indie shoe shuffler that would show pride in his Irish roots. All of a sudden he scores a girlfriend from Oslo and he's Norwegian.

Spud:
Spud got his username because he has the mental capacity of a potato. He also enjoys being roasted.

Dave:
No responsibilities, minimal outgoings, still in his 20's. You'd think he'd be happy. No chance! And he likes wrestling.

Fred Elliot:
45 year old man with the mental age of a 10 year old. Can sometimes be spotted skateboarding around Swindon wearing a pair of shorts that have Cowabunga written up the side.

He loves the club so much that it hurts to have to read his continual whining about how much he loves the club. God, he loves the club so much!Please don't ever let him down. Give 100% that's all he asks. Wear that shirt with pride, lads!

OOH!SHAUN TAYLOR
Special mention for OST for his impressive and highly amusing use of sarcasm.

The Boyz 4 Skin one is awesome!

[donkey]

youre bored at work the last line made me laugh so much it set off the alarm on my dialysis machine.

Can someone add 'Sets of dialysis machines' under Spacey's name?

I'm not sure what I found funnier, the wiki (which is awesome) or the Tongan's response.  Well done chaps.
