IMPORTANT WARNING! The future of this board.

ShelleyC_2

I'm afraid I've read this thread and thought we're doomed - people started to snipe at each other on a thread where we'd had our @rses kicked for being an argumentative stroppy bunch.

I have found so much helpful info on this board and feel the same as Davesnake that its saved me money and lots of stress. I would be sad if it was axed but totally agree the whole atmosphere has changed. I do still enjoy (and laugh at) many threads.

Never felt its been cliquey. There are natural splits in opinion but hasn't caused me a problem. I happily post my thoughts - never very clever or enlightened but never felt people ignore or disrespect them because I'm not one of the in crowd. Who knows maybe I'm unobservant or you've all got me on ignore :rotfl:

I've only ever posted & got involved in the money based boards. I think if we were moved into discussion time (had to go and research where it was!) I probably wouldn't follow. But maybe thats a good thing I might get my life back.

The only reason this board exists is to keep the trash out of the House Buying/Selling/Renting board.

You might remember me pointing this out from day 1.

I used to post here very frequently and spend a lot of time looking in but in recent weeks, I have found my interest has dwindled.

Part of that is because studying is taking over my life, partly because youngest is going through a difficult time with the upcoming transition into high school..and partly because I have found all the sock puppet, petty fighting etc, a bore.

I'm not sure what the answer is really as it seems to be happening on not just this forum but another one I frequent...maybe people are acting out through fear of the unknown, money worries as their jobs may not be as secure as they were.

I like to think of that as the reason as I like to see the best in everyone and give everyone the benefit of the doubt...but I doubt it would explain everything (much to my eekness)

don't worry i'm sure that Martin will get rid of the board and make himself look good at the same time.

A compromise would be to retain titlle but shift it down into Arms and DT section.

If people want to post in it 'who are regulars', makes no difference to where it physically is on the site.

I might be more inclined to hang around House Buying, Renting and Selling in that case.

I am happy with where the board is at present.
