in Compers chat corner
It's been brought to my attention that I don't update the Mag Dailies thread enough. To put things into context, when I took over in January I probably updated near enough every 24 hours, sometimes more if I were online a lot.

As the year's progressed, Real Life has taken over with illness and house renovations, meaning sometimes I simply don't have an internet connection at all, sometimes just a phone on which it is impossible to update the Mags list.

Updating began to average around 2-3 times a week, and I went AWOL for a week with an unscheduled hospital stay. And then a scheduled stay just after that ...

I know that come Nov/Dec Real Life will only get more hectic, and I don't want to have people being annoyed with me ...

So, if anyone wants to take over. That's fine. Leave a note below.

If not, I'll just continue doing as much as I can do (I really don't mind carrying on with it) and hope people can forgive the ad-hoc nature.
I just want to make it clear that this is not my moan ...

    that whoever is complaining & bought it to
    your attention that they
    should try running the thread & not be so rude!

    Ditto to all the above, and I add my heartfelt thanks for all you do. Maybe (trying to be the devil's advocate here), the person who is moaning assumes you are a paid team member? Some people just don't realise how much purely voluntary effort goes into this board. If they wouldn't consider 'working' for nothing it may not occur to them that others are willing to.

    why can't people simple get ONE link from your thread? The other comps t each mag appear on the page, lots of the same answers so do not need each one up dating, whoever complains heed to 1 get a life or 2 do it themselves, ignore the idiots you are doing fine. Real life for most of us gets hectic this time of year, Keep on keeping on :)

    I don't comment on here much any more due to the constant backbiting but I would love to just say that you are doing a great job.I cannot see why anyone would complain to you. If you miss an update it isn't hard for anyone to realise there must be a problem. Thank you for all your effort in keeping the thread going.
