I didn't want to enter in to a pointless debate, we stated 2 -3 Weeks and nothing has changed. New users are registering frequently and we wouldn't want to deprive them of your unique charms. As stated repeatedly the latest the other board will re-open is the 9th June.
I don't remember it particularly being a democracy back in your glory days however there was always plenty of fun to be had for some due to the no registration option, I do believe it was Hippy who started that, speaking of which have you been in touch and if so how is he doing? I know there was a health concern and that was some time ago.
Thanks for this response TRE and I assume you are also speaking on behalf of suedehead on this matter
You have yet again confirmed and what I have repeatedly agreed with.
I understand fully you consider this a "pointless debate" but of courtesy for anyone who doesn’t and as one of the powers that be I’m pleased you have decided to at least offer possibly a final comment to this thread.
I am fully aware you and suedehead have stated many, many times it’s a 2-3 trial period and I accept totally that your position has not changed, it was never being questioned.
I appreciate new users are registering , whether they read what I post be it as you compliment me on having "unique charms" or not is of course their prerogative. I look forward to a mass debate on both sites with old acquaintances like Matty, Dosser,SCB, etc etc etc etc etc when you unlock the old one.
I totally agree with you that you guys have stated repeatedly the latest the other board will re-open is the 9th June, which was never ever questioned by me.
I understand fully, no problem whatsoever from me on that.
For the record "my glory days" are just beginning I hope, the past is just history.
I have never owned any web site or message board, I simply became a humble moderator for a very short period of time many years ago as I am absolutely inept at anything technical, I still watch VHS and listen to cassettes, and it’s not a job I would wish on anyone let alone being the owner and co-Great Leader of such a massive message board empire as you guys are now commanding.
I’m not sure what you mean by "democracy" as I wasn’t involved in any way on site management other than as I say a very short period of time when I did correct a few issues of foul and abusive language.
As for Hippy I have not been in contact with him nor he with me for many years , we were just part of a group who "bonded" via the old site, Billy Byrne, Mozzer, Sun Reader (George Hudson)Ken Riley,Clincher,Noff,Rob of Reddish etc etc etc the list is long.
If you wish to contact him possibly one of the others could help you?
So to conclude shall we just agree you aren’t going to answer the question "why not start the old board up today rather than wait until the 9th?" and draw a line under this, at least for the sake of other posters who I’m sure would much enjoy the many other interesting threads currently available.
We will no doubt interact again on other issues.
