Ferret: Churchill Retrial Thread

[Diver]

Milan ..I have to say I agree with your sentiments, weird things are happening to this board...have you seen what tpd has become recently?

I have urged his Holy Ferretness to reconsider, but alas my pleas fell on small deaf ferret shaped ears with cries of bah! humbug.

Like the last days of colonial Africa all we can do is sit and watch as the winds of change sweep through this board & shake our collective heads knowing that in the fullness of time, it's all going to end in tears.

God Bless

If the board was so great, where are they all gone... surely the influx of stupid newbies can't have scared them all off?

that post was a masterpiece, a bit more fine tuning and you're have the sublte sarcastic dry humour down to a tee

Milan.

For those that are interested, you can read the old board here.

There are some really good threads there, and I'm sure that those of us that have only been here since the board went downhill / we took the board downhill can learn lots there.

HTH.

Faqqer, the old board was older than that.

Milan, I'm not quite sure what you imply by calling me a sympathiser, but the real world also has people who won't embrace change of any kind.

Luddites should learn their lesson and adopt SAS immediately.

PRC,

with the greatest of respect, it's sympathisers like you who allow this forum and the bigger picture to fall.

Amazing, how this forum is such an example of real world situations.

Milan.

You're right.

Maybe ferret should just ban everyone who joined after 2005, and close the board to new members.

That should do it.

This forum still has banter and humour and still benefits from both the new and the old members. It's easy to get all nostalgic about the days when Janek posted long tails of woe and the Cornish farmers made their rather odd invasion but the fact is there was as much rubbish posted then as now.

And we should remember that the reason why Janek left was Milan abusive behaviour. That's why he's defending Churchill now, he thinks that some people do have special rigths on the board just because they have been longer. And I am sorry I totally disagree on that and I am even more sorry that few actions like this were made in the past when this was just as necessary. Milan, you might be interesting sometimes but then again I felt that Janek has much more to say than you so don't go blaggering about that the forum would suffer because of someone missing as you did your fair share of it simply because of jealousy. No one should be above the law and if you want to be abusive you can only behave clownesque as sasguru or shaunbhoy or else you should be banned.

Ah - you're right, PRC. I have seen links to the old board somewhere, so it does still exist sort of.

That was just a link to the archive of old threads from 2005 that don't appear in searches.

So, what's the story there then?
