    What has happened to this place?

    Is it dying or is it just hanging on by a strong loyal thread?
    Just saying what I see!

    Quite possibly, I suppose, - but there again ... ... Keith wasn't really given much choice in the matter.

    Have to admit that I wouldn't have entered the forum when I did 6 years ago if it was called what it is today. Unfortunately, now sounds too much like a dating site which could be putting off potential new membership.........

    In any case, I'll always be grateful for the help and support that I have received from some lovely people here, seasons greetings to you all

    ... yes , more's the pity, due - I'm fairly sure - to the reason(s) I've suggested above in #10 & #11, respectively.

    Does seem the same handful of posters. Although that's not a bad thing.

    We do need new posters that stick around. There have been some, but not many recently.

    I'm pretty sure there will be a new thread about President Clinton/Trump soon that will get interesting

    I'm still browsing... just in my Philippines residence.... with a VERY active and noisy little 'cherub' bombarding me with assorted missiles fashioned from his considerable stockpile of toys/weapons.

    Prolific posters get banned for being controversial and others walk as a protest, Dedworth and Les for example. JoeBlogs couldn't face coming on after the conservatives won the last election and Andy has been very quiet.
    There are others who read other forums and realise that us mere plebs can't be 'trusted' and there are those who have a few months of heavy posting then a few months away.

    The % of deeply cynical forum members is just a little higher than on the average forum. BTW - that includes me. I am deeply cynical but I try to supress it.

    I have had important (life changing) and specific advice on this forum. Because of that I will not criticise forum members.
    But a forum needs a mixture of new people seeking advice and new people who want light hearted chat, (so we agree on that point Longweekend).
    Some of these new people will make an occasional donation.

    Making the mood on the forum as welcoming as possible can only help.

    Just a quick hello I do have a quick look sometimes and just to let you know that I still contact Dedworth and it's nice that a few on here have missed us.I think the banning was ott and noticed the Forum seems a bit dull without him.Love him or hate him he engaged people and thats a pity. We kept on hearing because of us two new members were not bothering-maybe that was a wrong assumption. Anyway all the best to the ones who enjoyed the banter.

    Once traffic starts the red light on threads stops the flow inexplicably



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
