    Well you can finally used the quote function properly so you can't say you haven't learned anything.

      I joined in the hope of finding some support, help and general chat about contracting. Sadly what exists is a ton of abuse in general, pretty much the same in the business forum and very little elsewhere. Mostly from the same clique.

      Shame really as there are still some nuggets of gold in there occasionally.
      Not only in general or in business, one of the Trolls Squad members sent me a PM calling me tosspot.

        Abuse by PM is unacceptable bullying IMO. You should forward it to Admin and cojak. Don't bother with the freak or the cretin.

          He started a new contract a month or two ago, so presumably has his head down learning the ropes.

          He was going to apply to the same clientco as me, and we were exchanging pms. But for one reason or another the other role was better. I also started a new contract this week, after five years at that previous clientco, and a couple of miles from it (so just far enough to reset the two year expenses rule, which is nice!). So I probably won't be posting much here during the week.

              I do miss doodab and MTT. They were able to explain WHY I was a moron rather than just tell me I was one

                  Good point. Constructive comments does not exist.

                    Name them or it did not happen.

                    I want to apply to join the Troll squad. Is that the first step to joining the CUK clique?

                      It was probably going downhill before then mind you.

                      I think Brexit took up a huge amount of posters time and resources.

                      Add in the immigration debate and we have been left with 2 large topics dominating the forum

                      And in that zeity went so we lost a lot of his classic/mildly diverting threads

                      So we are left with the Monday links being the only semi worthwhile thing going on

                      But we are all to blame I haven't started a decent thread in years (if I ever did!!)

                      So maybe instead of getting down on it the real people who made the CUK forums erm.... great over the years need to step up and swing.

                      Oh and also yes if all we ever do is alienate anyone new then things will stagnate.
