Title: I've had a brilliant idea!
Post by: JBR on April 03, 2024, 05:41:05 PM
I thought it would be a great idea if I posted a new topic, as there seems to be very little life on here for quite some time now.

What do others think?  😉

I am undecided on how best to advise, it might have been easier for me if you had done a multi choice answer. 
Oh..hi JB.

Well, I'm glad it has worked out, Scrum.  I only posted it as a joke.

I'm glad you managed to make it Vlad, and I haven't had a telling-off from the boss!

Thanks JB, SWMBO has already had a pop, you should be resting she says, I am lying down and typing with one finger I retorted...she gave me one of her looks, you know the ones...the look that could stop a wounded pre-menstrual charging water buffalo in its tracks, I tried to hide under the duvet....

I fully understand.  After all I, too, am scared of my wife when she's that way out.

Incidentally, one consequence of giving you those clues is that if I now post on 'the mother ship', I am immediately informed that "this message is awaiting approval by a moderator".

I can't say that I am particularly upset, as I tend to post less on that site anyway.  There are some very argumentative people there, I'm afraid, whose posts are not moderated by humour!
And I'm sure you know that humour is my hobby.

Oh dear, it will be the naughty step for you now. I do tend to find that forums  evolve over time and eventually end up being very authoritarian. A sort of, ' it's my ball, my pitch, my game and I am the ref, so here is a red card'  
There are some posters on the mother ship that really grip my shit, my block list on there is quite long. 😀 Anyway new forum, new people, new and fresh ideas, I must try....and behave

To be fair, the two responses I posted on there recently, now seem to have been cleared for general consumption.
I do understand how the boss is upset that people from his forum have moved over here, but most still post on his forum as well, so he isn't actually losing members.

Klondy is a he, although one can be forgiven for making the mistake.

Think David Attenborough in Rwanda in 1979.  Think of the need for a double in case the film didn't work out.

I haven't a clue what sites you mean,
 Azz?
Pensioners Forum?
Fifty Plus?
F3A?
And which one is the Mother Ship for goodness sakes?!
I'm in Desperately Trying To Understand mode 😂

Hey, I've just remembered we've got PMs on here, so if you're shy you can send me a message to ease my confusion!!

...and the turnip's place is OFC.  Although I had a look a couple of days ago and didn't recognise many of the people who now inhabit it.  Good luck to them in their having the rent boy nipping any normality in the bud.

Well, yes.  It seems to have taken off, though I fully expected it to rot away when I hadn't really started any proper conversation.

It seems that some people will join in anything here!  Though I'm grateful that they have done.

Yes.  Automatic moderation for me: anything I post is held back until checked over by 'a moderator' (whoever they are).  Obviously, I broke the first commandment: mentioning this forum!
I honestly don't think there is anything wrong with people posting on both of them.  I post on both... sometimes.

Nah. Can't be. Talking bears that act as chauffeurs, mend cars, run errands and all the other good stuff can only exist in the same universe as Brian. Brian was why Yogi was born. It was essential to find something at a similar level of believability and Yogi fitted the bill.

I didn't!  I didn't actually mention this forum.  I just dropped hints.  I said such things as, "It's a friendly place". and I suppose that the penny finally dropped.

I'm afraid I can't remember now which thread it was.  Sorry.

Quote from: klondike on April 11, 2024, 06:50:27 PMSo why are you on pre-moderation?
Obviously, because I provided clues to the name of this place, and suggested Vlad should give it a try.

Give him his due, he didn't actually ban me, and my posts do seem to appear shortly after posting them.
I think I did also mention that some people are happy to visit both sites.
