Hi Vlad..
Not such a big audience over here.. But we are nice..
The rules are not as strict here.. no moderators.. and you can use naughty words if it pleases you... :wink:
This place is a sort of health spa for the elderly and infirm to have a bit of respite in.

Oh dear . . . am I in trouble now for helping Vlad? :hmm:
Depending on just how paranoid Chris is you may be. He does know the URL of this place and should he ever forget he could check on the entries in his profanity censor. So if he bothers to read your posts here he'll know just how naughty you have been.
He was well miffed when this place was set up and refused to believe the reason was that all the evidence pointed to him giving up on running PF as he did nothing to fix the frequent outages it was getting. My bet is that he had put it on free hosting. This monster thread resulted
http://www.pensionersforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,30682.0.html
My last post on PF.
https://www.pensionersforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,30682.msg653665.html#msg653665
I was on pre-moderation so his later suggestion that I was repeating the cardinal sin of posting the URL of this place was pure garbage

Well, on the one hand it might or might not be. But one has to consider gender transitioning.
Yes.
This site was created when it looked like PF was going to go under. It nearly did but then a bunch from the over 50s turned up and rescued it.
And many of us refugees rarely visit it now. Of course some can't. 😉
I bob in occasionally to see if Brian has any new topics of conversation, but nothing to mention so far.
I miss the old PF, it had become a place of refuge for me. But now...... :cry:

Mups.. Don't be daft girl.. Anyone can use this site .. You haven't done anything wrong..
I pop into PF sometimes.. Just to look at The Last Post.. Dongles started it but , sadly, he has left the site.. and the thread is slowly dying..
Forums come and go.. They are popular one minute and the next minute they are dead.. PF was lucky enough to have many members from another site that was on the way out.. They were the lifeline for PF..
I prefer this forum simply because there are no hard and fast rules.. We do not have a dictator who (punishes) us if we say something THEY do not like..
We also have private messaging.. Where Alex and me talk about MAFS.. because we are saddo's ..
I am pleased that we have a few new members.. wish we had more..
As usual I'm bringing up the rear on gossip :cool: what happened, what did I miss and what is Mups talking about ?
I have no idea what happened.. or what Mups is talking about..
I just wanted to get in on the act.. :hmm:

You haven't upset me, Mups, and I'm sure nobody else here.
The only forum politics, as far as I'm concerned, are on the mother ship. Even then, it is all down to the boss who hates the idea of members of his forum discovering this forum, which I think is rather childish.
And the real up-side is that Vlad has arrived here!
Only problem with advertising over there is bringing the Mother ship ' troubles ' over here. Although I'm certain Klondike wouldn't admit the likes of Sciatico here.
Remember Teacher. As always when somebody is being unpleasant you all get a say the section that appears once the poster has made enough posts. You lot said let him stay. Had it been up to me I'd have deleted the id because imo he was an objectionable arse. In the end he got the message from responses and departed anyway.

There are others there who certainly are, though. Scattico for example, as you say. I just avoid him (out of politeness).

Fortunately, I haven't been horse-whipped either.
I can't remember when I last visited & I have no intention of going back.
If I pop in to check it'll show as a visit so if anyone else want to check then feel free.

Time will tell.
The way the young are behaving now, they are going to pay for it in several years.
I wonder whether they might, only then, realise that they should have paid heed to us.
Even if they do they'll never admit it.

I believe it was tried but as you know Chris disabled the PM on the other forum. I don't think anyone had his email, not that I know of anyway.
Only way would have been an open post and Chris would have just loved that.
If Brian arrived I think there would be a number of other revivals such as these books I kept finding in charity shops..

I enjoy Akbuk's posts too GM :upvote: I imagine he knows we're here :cool:
I agree, of course, that there are many decent members over there, some of course who also post on here. Yes, Akbuk is one, for example, who I think doesn't come here.
Brian, of course, is another!
I have had a quick look at what's going on there, from time to time, but have no intention of ever returning there and posting. The boss obviously hates the idea of any members popping over here, which I think is rather childish.
I had a quick look just now, to see a header suggesting: "Please join us (it's free)". Perhaps he's losing members! 🤣
Akbuk came here originally but stopped coming once Chris got the constant PF forum bugs fixed. I think the problem being that he had moved it onto free hosting but he never admitted that.
This place was only intended to be a backup to PF if, as it appeared at the time, Chris gave up on it. If he hadn't made such a fuss this forum wouldn't exist and there would still only be PF plus the group that moved off from PF earlier who are still going too or at least I think they are as the site still exists but my login there doesn't or so it seems.
I go a week or more without popping in to PF, the only time I post is when I see that awful Sciatico giving Muddy down the banks :grin: Mind you she's a big girl and usually puts him in his place, only for him to come back with the same old crap !

Yes, when I used to go there, all I saw from Scatty was absolute nonsense and, naturally, avoided any interaction with him. For God's sake, don't anyone tell him about this place!
Is this clown The Deep still there?

I'd be surprised if she weren't. Didn't she have two IDs on here at one time.
ME and TREBOR
Ooh Id forgotten about her :cool:
None of my business of course, because I no longer visit the Mother Ship, but do other members bother to discuss matters with Scatty?
Personally, I avoided interacting with him as soon as I realised his consistent line of thought. It really isn't worth the effort when someone's opinions are completely contrary to one's own. I also got the impression that he isn't one to participate in a humorous chat.
No. I think he disagrees for the sake of it. Life's too short.

He puts folks down with a nasty smirk
He just seems to hate the Brits
He reckons we're a load of shits
But when said and done he's just a berk
Brian is harmless and I feel sorry for him when they take the mick on the Mother Ship.
Sciatico is just nasty. Yes he's entitled to his opinions, it's just the way he "speaks" to people that pixxes me off and I no longer respond to him. I think he's married to an arab who is muslim.

I think he enjoys any attention he can get. If he didn't he'd stop with the nonsense. Harmless? Maybe but he has a nasty attitude to those down on their luck. I don't donate to them myself as it would go on booze or drugs but I wouldn't insult them. Not that I think he does either in reality it's all fantasyland.
