jok 3,446 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Tonight, Friday, 7.30pm, there are are 46 on line on the forum. When I first joined, it was a joy to read all the members comments . Indeed I much preferred reading these to watching a load of cobblers on the box. I regularly, ie, every morning and evening come on the forum looking forward to some interesting comments. At this moment in time the quality comments are coming from very few and the argumentative comments and abusive comments coming from the many. What a shame. We have a few overseas members who try their best but even they must be wondering what is going on. Sir Blessed and Wolfdog to mention a couple. Just my opinion.

micky 3,325 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Its about finished , the magic has gone alonng with all my Rabbits , Facebook has taken over . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 As i said on another thread earlier this week, or it may have been last week, social media platforms have all but taken over and forums like this remain only due to the die hard members who stick with them. i remember when this forum first started back in 2004 and trust me there were less members online then than there is now, A forum is what you make it and the members are the reason for it even existing, Moaning about what was this and that in the past is pointless, its history. just enjoy what's here or join the rest on other social media platforms, If you think things can be mad here, trust me you have not seen anything compared to some of the FB sites i have been on in the past Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keepdiggin 9,567 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 It’s an Internet forum best not take it to seriously mate 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 14,054 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Dickheads mate! Before, there was enough decent on here to counter. Now we’re up against no hopes who just troll, wasn’t that the word we used to use? Don’t feed the trolls. Happy fuucking Friday, from Madrid 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,446 Posted October 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 I hear what you are saying gentlemen. The strange thing, to me at least, is that this forum was so diverse, having members stick making, pheasant florists, keepers, poachers, tree huggers, dog trainers, dog breeders, as I type, Mushroom people, and the list goes on and on. Where and why do we stop communicating on what is a lovely, normally friendly forum? Jok 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,902 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 This site was great,and has the potential to be so again I think,but rigerous and warranted culling of idiots should be priority,...I'd rather see a smaller gathering of decent knowledgeable members than a ton of idiots all on for aggro,I enjoy the topics but unfortunately the same 2 or 3 fools disrupt them,a certain bit of slagging and winding up is grand but when the venom and personal insults are involved,just remove the source... hopefully it becomes good again 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,446 Posted October 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Charts. I agree mate. I just find it really odd that they feel the need to voice all their aggression on a forum such as this. At the end of the day the introduction to new members to the forum should say it all. All this bickering can only impact on us all. Why don’t they just swap phone numbers and fck off. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,446 Posted October 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Reach out to some of the previous, regular, and interesting members and ask them why they no longer, either, post or reply. Not sure how we can do this but it would be a start. For example. Flacko. Where are you son. Jok. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just how it is. Is it possible to just post a decree,if anyone gets heavy handed and downright insulting,they will be removed post haste,no warning ,just removed with no explanation?I obviously don't know how it works behind the scenes but chopping the head off the snake every time would surely stem the venom? Or am I spouting shit? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
