    Outta here....

    So I originally joined these forums to become part of the contractor community, hoping to get insight into how it all works and then to proffer help and advise once I'd got a bit of experience myself. Sadly it seems that whilst the forums provided some help at the start of my contracting all they do nowadays is provide an anonymous baiting pit for sycophants, whingers and narcissistic moderators drunk on their own little sphere of power.

    After my latest experience of having thieves laugh about stealing other people's IP I've come to the realisation that these forums provide zero help nowadays and so I'm outta here.

    If a mod could metaphorically turn out the light after I've gone and delete my account I'd be grateful.

    Good luck for the future to those who are here to genuinely try and help others, although I can see the forums being dead within a year.
    Have you tried switching it off and back on again??

    Firstly accounts aren't deleted. This post and others will stay here until the forums die...

    Secondly we do provide professional advice in the professional forums but any posts in General are treated with the respect they deserve.

    Thirdly, the attacks you received regarding copyright were self inflicted. In a thread about the Grand Tour you brought it up and seem to be surprised that people are slightly less bothered about copyright then you are. You then showed to me that you don't know the difference between european and US law which just added to the fun.

      Don't know, never bother with anything except CUK, but, from all the online abuse stuff one reads about, I suspect all forums are like that.

      accounts aren't deleted
      Great! After I snuff it I can come back as a zombie. My avatar will then be even more accurate than it is now.

      PS Though these days one only can only come back as a jar of dust. A pile of dust blowing about moaning "Brains" does not see very scary somehow.

                Things really are the same here! I thought 6 years away would have changed things. Where's SASguru?
