Was having a clear out the other day and came across this. Not sure when this is from or why I have it, maybe a member of staff will remember?

That's very interesting @Skive and I find it very cool that TheMix was originally called TheSite during the early 2000's. Maybe we could bring back those bands even maybe do a Mix anniversary

I've been kicking around for coming on a decade and I've never seen one of those! @Skive is it a wrist band? Any other writing or messaging on it?

The truth resists simplicity.

It is a wrist band. I’ve got a couple of them actually. I imagine I received them as a prize for post of the week or something similar.

Charity wrist bands were really big in the mid 2000s and almost became fashionable. I imagine they are from that sort of time.

The only other information is a registered charity number: 1048995

Edited to add this.

2005 by the looks of it. Not a bad guess.

It was TheSite from around 1999 all the way up to the mid 2010s I think.
The discussion boards were used to be buzzing. Discussion boards like this existed long before the big social media platform like Facebook Twitter and Instagram.

This is what the boards looked like in 2004

Wow the site looks so so different to what it is today @Skive I love the old school vibe of it a lot too. Its amazing to think they even had a discussion board just for festivals and music!.

How interesting and nostalgic to see how the boards looked so many years ago - plus its so cool that you have the wristband from TheSite - a little piece of history
