I know I am and so is Scrumpy but is that the limit of it?
Only time will tell, but I think we are all being watched. :shh:
if I'm on the naughty step then so be it, then ill think about going to another forum instead, iv seen this sort of problem in the past and that's why i left ,
forums are supposed to be a place where people can interact with each other, and others to share or take part in, so i hope it wont get any worse,
lets hope there is a more satisfactory end for both parties,
I'm not but I don't know why, I reposted Scrumpy's e-mail addy, and asked Brian to get in touch, maybe Chris missed that one. :cool:

If he's reading in here.......You've just told him. :embarrassed:
How CAN he read in here - he said he has been on here, but surely he must have had to join ? KLONDY !!!
I thought we had a mystery member, but on checking the membership I see they have gone. :hmm:
GeorgiaA36 and CorinaFatn
This be a big step I be sitting on.. Room for more bums..
What puzzles me is how anyone ,other than those that were known to us , even got the link to get in here and look around.. Certainly not from me.. Curiouser and curiouser..

Yes I deleted some that were almost certainly going to be spammers - overseas IP adresses and what looked like marketing comany emails.

You can find it as Diasi pointed out by using this search https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=digitalham+forum&hl=en I posted my email in my request to Brian.
If you are sanctioned you will know...

What I just don't understand is why PFuk Chris doesn't seem able to accept why you started this fall-back forum in good faith for all our benefit.
He must have the wit to realise that his forum provided many of those of us who live alone a good means of social ineraction, albeit on a virtual basis.
That being said he must also have the wit to realise the upset & isolation that would be caused if his forum went offline permanently, which the sheer number of daily outages pointed towards, & which is the sole reason this forum was created.
None of us were going to abandon his forum so he's the person who's created this them & us environment.
Once-Bitten syndrome perhaps but it's a bit illogical when we've all told him the same thing.. First fix PF, Chris. We've been politely asking for months but you've offered nothing until now and your offer is blame and castigation..
castigation...OMG... i took no part in any of it, if i sent anyone a link, i deny it... castigation is a bit strong i mean come on ...castigation///oh.... CASTIGATION...lol... oh yes.i sent links to as many folks as i could... friends i didnt want to lose, and friends i still dont want to lose.... :cool:
Once he's calmed down and hopefully thought it all through, he'll see what actually happened not what he thinks happened. :cry:
I doubt it. That high horse is just a bit too high to climb off I'm afraid. Hope I'm wrong as I certainly didn't want a row. I rather assumed that his eye was so far off the ball that this would just chug along gathering folk. As it says on the tagline at the top "Here just in case" which I feared was going to be prophetic.
No outages since about 2pm today so maybe he has got it fixed but I have thought that before at least twice. No outages on the official backup just a tad slower.
I've some sympathy for the guy, he's responding to being attacked, as he sees it and has to be feeling, justified or not, some sense of betrayal. The last thing he needs is a mass exit from PF because of his senseless denial. I'm sure he'll get his head around it if he cares enough to. I'll stay faithful more for his mum's memory's sake than anything else.
I have exchanged e-mails with Chris, and I am sorry to say that he clearly believes that he has been betrayed and that now he has created a back-up forum (has anyone tried it?) this place isn't needed. In view of his comments I have e-mailed him again 30 minutes or so ago, so obviously no reply yet - not everyone keeps my hours!
In my second e-mail I told him that I, and I am sure others, see the two fora as complementing each other, not in competition.
I also made clear my feelings that he let The Deep and Sciatico post their vicious condemnations of other members for far too long
Finally, I assured him that I - and I know most, perhaps all - are very appreciative of PF and the work he has put into it.

S'all water under the bridge. What's done is done. I've given up on PF now just as I did as fortyone and pretty much for the same reason - I didn't like the way Chris ran it or sometimes didn't run it. It looks like he may have put his hand in his pocket and gone to paid hosting. I put up a separate thread on it maybe being fixed.
This place will either continue or wither and die that is up to those who came here. It seems to me that now it has become a separate board and if it is going to continue as such I'll need to make a few changes so it can. If I hadn't been effectively chucked out I'd have simply shut shop when PF got fixed but I'm afraid my relationship with Chris is soured to the point where that isn't possible for me. It is for all of you though so please just do as you all see fit. If posts fade away here I'll just shut it. If they continue I'll improve it but with the consent of those who are posting here.
Can't say fairer than that
Mike👍👍👍
I'll be staying klondie, I like it here, :upvote: more things work and more smilies to choose from. Chris could improve the other forum a lot if he wanted to. :sad:
But, having said that, I will also be going to the original forum as well, just maybe not so much.
Fair enough Raven. Thanks.
Thank you Mark. That's good of you.
hear, hear
Mike
I like it here too, I'll just log in here before the PF UK, it used to be the other way around :wink:
PFUK was the best forum i had found, so many felt more like friends than fellow posters, ok occasionally a head would pop up and there might be a bit of harshness, but nowt that wasnt sorted... but the rejects from GOM should have been dealt with a lot better than taking down posts... now we are seen as outsiders and being monitored...mmmm... i wont ditch it but i shall refrain from my normal ebulence...
If this forum remains a Deep free zone, I will stay.
:grin: :grin: :grin:
Was it you who came up with weapons grade prat - that was a classic.
Hi Guys, Not sure if I should be here on on the other forum, or which one I am on even, getting a bit confused, and it doesn't take much these days. After losing two long replies which got timed out and I was on my tablet so didn't back them up got a bit fed up, what with Christmas and things seem to have missed out on what is going on.
Please let me know if I should be here or there, thanks.

It isn't a choice between one or the other forum, I'm on both of them, as are most of us.
You can use both forums.
The timeout can happen if you don't check stay logged in. The default is 60 minutes then the cookie that records that you are logged in expires so your post will then fail. I always check that having been caught out in the past. both forums will be the same in that respect. I think the outages on PF itself have been fixed now. Probably with a rectangle of plastic :smiley:
I don't have a choice.... I'll have 'kicked the bucket' before my posts are released from being monitored.. :halo:
It is amusing to hear Scatico moaning about being on delayed posting.
I confess it was I who posts as whostolemyhair on the other forum, and christened the Deep WGP. Industrial strength pillock did not do him justice.

Sciatico said .. ' My posts still appear long after they are made and by then the subject has moved on.'
1955 Vintage replied.. 'I wouldn't worry, most of us have you on ignore anyway'..
:grin: :grin: :grin: Brilliant reply.

couldn't agree more

sorry honey twas i who suggested your e-mail because most folk knew it... but then i put up a new one for me then added my usual one, but i havent been reprimanded ...yet... :fishing: but who knows... i admit this is my new forum but i will drop into tother, but it is no longer my 'habit'... sorry again Scrumps
Shame on you crabbyob for getting Scrumpy 'into trouble'. :shocked: :shocked:
... and detected trying to chat up Brian too. Oh the shame :smiley:
Sorry about the effective ban though Scrumpy. That pre moderation is a pain. I'm amazed that the other two are staying on PF with it in place. I'd assumed a ban for me if he had the hump but not others.
I'm special...
and I know Brian loves me.. He will wake up one day and ask ' Where is my Scrumpy' ?
perhaps a beggar might stop him in the street and tell him.. :yay:
