I just discovered that the old Queenzone forums had closed and stumbled across this place. I had a wee giggle at some of the stories I used to write and there were a few that made me cringe. Still, it’s touching to think that some of you enjoyed the ramblings.
I can’t believe that it’s been just over 20 years since the official fan club message boards closed down and we ended up on Queenzone. A big shout out to a few of the old timers who, may or may not, still be around. Your Valentine, Bob the Shrek, Penetration Guru, Holly, Janet, Demeter, Banquo, Brenski, Deaconjohn, Lisser, Flashman and many many more.
An even bigger shout out to Ted, Treasure Moment and the hundreds of other trolls that all turned out to be Jake Britt. It’s funny but whenever I see some slack-jawed retard in a MAGA hat on TV, I think to myself “that could be Jake.”
Anyway, just thought I’d drop by and wish you all well in your new home and I hope that everyone is having a fab and groovy time.
Everybody’s pal
fatty.
PS: My accordion business has not folded, although in these unprecedented times I am beginning to feel the squeeze............. I’ll get me coat.

Hi, so sorry this comment is so long in coming. I'm afraid I don't visitmany online sites these days, even my Facebook visits have lessened quite a lot in recent months.
Anyway, I was, sadly, a very infrequent visitor to QZ, although I was a member for some years, and I only discovered Thor and Lee's contributions in the last year or so before it closed down. I was led to believe that their posts had been saved here, however when I've tried to access any of the archives linked to in this thread it appears that they are no longer in existence? There was 1 set of links to Fatty's posts that sounded really interesting however when I tried to access one of those I received a message stating that I wasn't allowed in that area?
Please could anybody bring me up to date on what has happened to any archived material from QZ, whether it is accessible anywhere?
Although I was only an infrequent visitor I was also very sad to learn it had closed down. I suppose I took it for granted, and am very sorry to have learned the hard way not to do that with these message boards, I used to love the various message boards re all kinds of subjects before Facebook seemed to take over most of them. Long may this one continue, and thanks in advance for any help re my enquiry..

Mr. Scully archived them and you’ll be able to search for them on his site here: www.queenconcerts.com/queenzone.html?filter_fulltext=Manic&filter_user_titles=1&filter_user_posts=1&filter_order=datedesc |

If you're referring to the archived Fatty's threads, here, then as long as you're logged in as a member, I don't believe there's any restrictions on viewing the threads, but there is a strong content warning. |

Just before QZ closed (and before Mr Scully archived QZ), I had copied the first two months (mid-July to mid-September of 2017) of just Thor's posts from his first QZ topic, and placed them in the following QC topic:
Thor's username on QZ was "thundergod". By searching for "thundergod" on Mr Scully's site, one can get a clickable list for all Thor's topics, and if desired, all three years of Thor's posts:

I do apologise, I'm having trouble editing the quotes correctly. Once again thank you so much for the information about where the archived posts can be found for QZ, I'm really grateful for your help. Now I just need to learn how to deal with quotes again, lol |

Thank you so much, I seem to have ended up somewhere else before, but the thread I clicked on isn't one of those listed in the area you just directed me to. Are the other Fatty threads not included anymore? Thanks for your help. I hope I've edited the quote properly, I haven't done this kind of editing for years! With quotes, you don't really need to 'edit' anything. Just hit the Quote button by the relevant post then type your reply underneath the box where the quoted post appears. With regards Fatty's posts, I believe we picked out some, er, 'highlights' for the separate section, but they should all be searchable in the restored database. |

Ah I see, I was trying to just quote from the person who replied to me rather than showing all of my post again which is why I ran into editing troubles. Yes it does look like a certain few of his posts have been placed into that section, if I have any trouble accessing the others that sounded interesting I'll ask for help again. Thanks very much.. |
