Yes - wasn't the site admin handle on the original site "Radioneck"? I'd forgotten about that as it was about a hundred years ago. I always thought it was a play on "Radiohead", in other words it's more than just your head, it's your neck too :lol:

It originates from the old Whoslocked.com approx around 2011/2012 when someone from Essex who went under the name of P-Dot/Jay Cuzzie came on bickering with some of them and constantly calling people a "neck".

....I'm guessing the name "NECK" stuck as when everyone started boycotting WL.com they created their own forum calling it Radionecks which lasted for a couple of years or so before they decided to suddenly take it down for seemingly no reason and it was brought back again by a third party. :whistle

Ah yes, vaguely remember some chatter about it on the old site. There were some good threads on there, shame they were lost when it disappeared.
