Hullo there everybody!
Greetings from a soggy Glasgow.
Does anyone remember the original message board? This feels like a time tunnel back to a more innocent, less polarized time. And I’m all for it. Welcome home boardies, old and new!
Xd -
The original message board was before my time on the internet but have seen a few references on other social media sites. Looking forward to v2.0.

Hello, Dougie… Do you remember me? The same Ziggy Stardust, back from the 2000s 😀 It is soooo good to get the message board back. So happy to read you all

Hello Dougie!! So excited for this opportunity to stay in touch!! Greetings from Puebla, Mexico 🇲🇽❤️

Hi Dougie et al from Lancashire where we seem to have had all the weather so far today. My wife loved the signed Poochie Pete btw – literally in the good books 👍
-
Hi Dougie, Sunny and windy in Argyll at the moment, keeping the midges far away, give me lo-fi tech any day :0)
-
Yay! This is exciting 😃 A blast from the past!
-
I wasn’t the most active on the old board but it do have a great vibe among the fans on there.
-
Dougie dont even, I’d LOVE to be in Glasgow rn!! come to Ireland x

HEY HO, Merci!
Good old board, and my lovely boardies! This place was and still is family and a life saver. Travis my lovelies, you are simple pure joy to my heart.
Bisous from Provence and to all our boardies who are still around.

Hey, hey, hey! It’s peeing it down on the Southside too and my day has been brightened by this lo-fi return to board life. Our Ruby is gonna be kicking off when she gets in tonight (school concert dontcha know but my baby is drumming so all good). To have her being part of this side of Travisllife too is so sweet. My other one wee Caragh Bear came in from school wearing my old Travis hoodie from the turn of the century- representing Travis to the fresh meat of Glasgow.

I do remember how it was, it totally changed my life back then. Nostalgic vibes.
My little daughter loves Poochie Pete, I hope you can sign her copy when you come to Mexico in octubre. -
Hello everyone!
Of course I remember the old message board!! I’ve met some great people back then and keep the best memories of those times. Greetings from Argentina!-
Of course! So happy you guys like the book. Thank you!
-
Thanks, Dougie! It’s such a cute story, with a message all children should definitely read/hear – it doesn’t matter how you are/look, each and everyone will find their place in this world, sometimes it’s not what you expected though. And the illustrations by Rachel Seago go perfect with the text (love all the references to Travis!).

Hi from sunny Cathcart ✌️
-
Great news! I hope it works out!
I’ve been visiting the website since The Man Who era, back when it was all white and built in Flash. I used to browse it without even knowing how to read English (^_^). Around 2007, I left a few messages there It was a very good time without algorithms and talentless influencers begging for attention. -
Good to be part of the chat! Hello from soggy Oregon
-
¡Hola Dougie!
Nice to see you around❤️ I loved your book!! I got mine here in Chile!
-
I did not know this was a thing back in the day. I’m a bit sad I missed out. Oh well, can’t live in the past, I’m glad I am here now

I joined a message board in mid-2002 for a second, hoping you guys were touring local and wanted presale codes. At the same time, also joined another band’s forum(starts with C..ends in Y) Became a boardie at the other one and then married a boardie 5 years later. 😂 Boards are fun. Thanks for bringing the platform back.
-
love u guys!

Hi Dougie! I remember writing on the original message board. It’s amazing to see this space back again after all these years. It really does feel like a trip back in time. Greetings from Mexico, and thank you for bringing old and new fans together again!
-
Whaaaaat? 20 years ago I was on this board as Jenny2, met the love of my life on here! Moved to Scotland, married, had kids! All because of a wee band from Glasgow 💕
-
This is all coming full circle. Social media kind of killed this kind of place and now social media has become so fucking toxic I’m all for going back to this. Brilliant to have the board back. Who’s back from the old days then?
-
Obviously, I’m here… you lucky bastard

Hi Dougie, Hi Fran, Neil and Andy!
Barby from Buenos Aires. Here it’s been cloudy for two weeks :s
I loved the welcome message to the new forum. Especially: ‘A long time ago, in an internet far, far away, when we hadn’t started using it for buying shit, watching shit and talking shit’ xD
It’s true that with social networks and private profiles, we isolate ourselves and lose connection.
I hope we can revive the forum and interact with you all more often. Love you all. -
Hey, Dougie et al! Cheers from Colombia!
I’m soooooo exciteeeed!! Firstly, I love the band. Secondly, I adore message boards! Social media’s not the same at all! I have faith that all the lovely Travis fans will keep this message board clean and fun.
Thank you for this space! 😀 I even feel younger today! LOL! -
-
Hello!
never been in the old forum but hope this will be a peaceful and safe space for everybody!
big hugs from a sunny Pisa (Tuscany,Italy) -
Hello boardies it’s good to be back 😊 🙌 Hope everyone has a good week. 🌞 is ramping up the temps in Las Vegas this week 101F today Tuesday 9th but 110F by this Saturday 13th. Hydration is key and definitely different climate from the SF Bay Area. Fond memories of meeting the band and seeing as many gigs as I could back then. Such good vibez.

Hola from Oklahoma! We’ll take some of that rain, por favor! Also, upon personally nearing the half-century mark (WHY aren’t the 80’s twenty years ago? What in the hairy heck??), I’ve really missed chat boards. Really appreciate ya’ll bringing this back. Hope all is well on the road for you fellas (and everyone else on here as well).

Aye & I’m sure there were some photos on original message board too 📸 😁
-
Hello hello! It’s like time traveling back to something I wasn’t a part of before, somehow fell into an alternate parallel timeline back then, but made my way back some years later. Glad to be here 😊
– Charlotte -
Well Dougie it definitely was a soggy Glasgow earlier. But if you look o it side now it’s positively glorious. Will be back to shiiiiite in no time mind !
Anyway, how good it is to be back. I don’t do ‘socials’. But I do boards. And this, friends is a special board. GREAT TO BE BACK !
Wonder when I’ll start the thread to get support for a Christmas Travis gig at the Barras back in the calendar this year ……🤔 -
This takes me back! Remember this place well. Everyone was always so kind on it and it was very useful for things. Welcome all new people 🙂
-
Think I was too young for the original message board but delighted to get a second chance now. Greetings to all Travis fans!
-
I was thinking about the old times with this forum, I met so many cool people 😎
It’s such a nostalgic hit to have it back ❤️
Thank you so much! -
Hello from Japan!
I wasn’t brave enough to post much on the original board, but I remember reading it from afar.
It does feel a bit like stepping into a time machine. The world has changed a lot, but it’s nice to see people gathering here again.
Greetings from a very sleepy corner of Japan — and from a cat who is still convinced that 3 a.m. is the perfect time for a concert.

Hi Dougie! Writing from grey Paris, France!

@Dougie, fond memories of the ol’ Elliott-maintained Travisonline. Flew across the pond to see you guys at Brixton because of lovely peeps I met there. Many many shows later, and I’m happy to be back – a little older, a little wiser, and a LOT ready for a safe space in the world.
If your life was a David Bowie song right now, which one would it be?
Mine – maybe Life on Mars? because I just moved to Pennsylvania, and there’s a little town called Mars about 30 miles from me. -
Hello hello!
Feeling like an old boardie in more than one way…! It’s good to be back! -
Hi Dougie! Your dog is very cute! how old is he?
-
G’day from Sydney and thanks for coming to play for us in January. Loved the show and I think you did as well. This was my first time seeing you live despite being a fan from the early days. I used to live in Crouch End and would see you wondering the streets there occasionally!
Looking forward to the next Sydney show that you promised us!!!
-
We can probably find the old board with the WAYBACKMACHINE. I’ll see what I can do. I’ll post a screenshot Pic of it that’s of i find it. Ciao

Hey DP,
You’re probably all tuck up in bed now with your jammies on. It’s 3:30pm here. See you next week dear.

Omg 😀 This was literally my life when I was a teenager!!! Hi everyone 😛
-
So cool to have this space back. It’s like a big F U to all of the stupid algorithms & ads & crap on all of the social networks.
THIS was our social network before social networks were even a thing! Hi to all! 😃👋
-
Helloooo Dougie!
Of course we remember and we remember the studio live sessions! miss them as well!!
-
Nice to meet everyone! 😊
Merhaba from sunny Turkey 🇹🇷 currently here on holiday! Look forward to catching up with you all -

-
Well, well, well, isn’t this a fun time warp indeed.
