From what I know of some of the above:
Letsgetracing/Equitrack
– I think these are the same person, but might be wrong. A mystery this one
A Mystery? Its blatantly obvious
Letsgetracing/Equitrack/Media Gecko/Armchair Jockey
are the same person Pompete!
Can’t believe Goldikova has been banned, if that is the case. Run-in with the Scottish football mafia? He posts quite a bit on betfair nowadays.
This might seem outrageous and insane but earlier today I had this overwhelming urge to visit The Racing Forum. At first I ignored these inner voices telling me a Username and Password and that I should search for a thread by a Mr. Nathan Hughes.
I resisted until the feelings have now become unbearable. So here I am but now I am even more confused. You see, for the past few weeks I’ve had this strange sense of having been abducted by aliens at some time in the recent past. Even more peculiar is that I now recognise the name mentioned by Nathan on this thread….Ken(West Derby). This name rings a bell because it is how one of the aliens introduced himself aboard the mother ship. He told me that Ken(West Derby) was his earthly name but now he was returning to his home planet outside of the Milky Way. Whilst on Earth he had joined The Racing Forum and that the reason I had been abducted was to be persuaded to continue his mission, which was to become the World Tipping Champion.
I laughed at my alien abductors saying that I knew nothing about racing but they reassured me that they would be assisting me from afar by influencing the outcome of races. So, although I am known as Conundrum I think it’s only fair to advise you that I am only joining the Tipping Competition in memory of Ken, a good alien with a kind heart…correction he hasn’t got a heart but if he did have one I reckon it would be kind.
Anyway, folks, I hope that goes some way to possibly explaining Ken’s absence and I’m sure we wish him well, wherever the end of the Universe is.
ConundrumI see this is your first post, but written like an old pro, welcome to the forum
Conundrum
. Now tell me what colour horse’s do you aliens ride? I can picture dear old Ken now galloping on the moon on top of a bright pink and purple mare.

And that’s just the ones we all know about, I reckon half the forum could be this guy.

Jim JPS
– If I remember I think he got upset about the Celtic Boyos on here taking the piss out of Rangers and of course there is the ‘Clock Issue’
Yes, they’re a sensitive lot those bluenose types: a strange breed – don’t like it up ’em.
I’m sure he’s let loose his overweight pitbull, "Porky" in the forum a few times, just to snarl and growl at us Celts.
Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
Pompete a good summation of Jim’s frailties
and whether your calling him JPS was
an error or not he is very much a post
script item these days.I could provide a longish list
but am less interested in the
those who take a long walk in the country
and focus my attention more
on the savagery of the axeman
in what is very tightly spaced
and fraught gambler’s denI take my hat off to those
who put their labour into this house
and do not exclude admin.Ken (West Derby) was adept at
grasping the nettle with
a flamboyance and success rarely seen
since gegarin took his pill lunch
and waved from the sputnik.
He is missed with a long list of others
the problem is
some of those missed
are mist.Gamble wrote..and waved from the sputnik

Gamble, if you read this your name came up conversation on bettyfair and I was speaking to Cubone and he asked me to pass on his regards to you and said he would like to hear from you again to see if you are ok and just to say hello. He can be found here http://www.cubone.co.uk/
Hope you are in good form mucker.
Good to see you writing again Salsabil
and slippying all those names in.Of course Eldorado was Balance on here
still remembered with great affection
and how he set the drunks..potheads thread alight,
and got up Pewter’s nose at the same time
are all fond fireside banter to those who recollect
them.Pass on my very best to Cu
if you come his way,
hope he is still excersising
by those fish ponds.Where’s that sputnik !

Cubone’s blog is terrific, though his earlier missives from the dim distant shady-but-colourful little world seem to have disappeared, which is a shame
Anyone know if they’re archived elsewhere?
…on here, it seems,
..not my cup of tea but you can still find cubone on this forum in the archives, from about 2003 to 2006.
Here is one of the threads which might still be of interest to some, including exchanges with several ‘Guests’ well known to many, including a rather amusing, if slightly politically incorrect tete a tete [jibe], with ‘James’, [almost certainly TDK]:-

Thanks UM, yes I remember his posts on here, some more recent than 2006 I think
He’s maintained a blog for a while; I used to read it but mislaid the web address so I was hoping someone knew it, as the one mentioned only contains this year’s rambles
Why aren’t The TRF Banned given their old forum names when they return? Would be better imo.
hurdygurdy<i>who</i>?
At least it is a fresh start for them Cav. By coming back as a different entity they may be able to change their wicked ways.
If they came back as their original name it would be difficult for other members to wipe the slate clean too. At least this way a "banned" member can try and prove themselves before we all guess who they are anyway.
I myself find it easier to adress some members with different pet names, depending on the way they’re acting. eg good "Gord", bad "Fisher", excellent bet "King". So as not to take ill feeling from one thread in to another.
