    I have NOTHING against you Glad you do a fantastic job when you have time around your own life & I applaud that but why should the forum suffer because we obviously need more BG's & for some un known reason you will not comment on it, or help us get the help we so need

    I'm appalled and upset by this statement aimed directly at me

    you have no idea what I may be doing about the issues in these threads and I didn't think I was obliged to have to explain myself just because you feel I should

    hopefully other compers don't feel that their board is suffering by having me as a BG

    I am sorry you find my comment appalling as that was not my intention. My intention is to make the forum run like it used to do which was you, & Dalkrist mostly with a little help from others.

    The amount of people on here now has increased a huge amount since the other comp board closed & it's lovely to have them here, but this has increased the amount of work we are ahving to do when no BG's are around & we can't keep it up, we just don't have the time to do it where getting a extra BG would be the answer

    You are right Glad we have no idea on what you are doing about the situation because you don't TALK to us. O.K you may not want to talk to me, I get that! but there are a lot of other people on here that have also raised the same questions time & time again & you have not talked to them either

    Thanks for replying Glad :T

    If you read down the thread further I have told MSE Debs that you can get PM's.

    Sorry if I miss read your reply.

    I have Pmed you about needing more BG's perhaps the Pm glitch may not just be yesterday or you have so many you have missed them?

    It is not working Glad as so many people would not be clicking on every expired comp one by one to get them off the boards, where as you as a BG can do 200 at a time, yet you sit back & watch the same people every day go through them all & say nothing, why?

    Once again why are expired comps an urgent (or any) problem if they remain on the main board for a while?

    Before a solution to a problem can be looked at you first have to identify the problem and its impact so if a solution is needed the time and effort put in to it are proportionate to the problem being solved..

    No-one thinks that Glad Imho, I personally think luckyone is just getting a bit enthusiastically carried away with this.

    Don't think for one moment you aren't appreciated as you and the other bg's are needed and a much wanted part of our board.

    Oh dear maybe now is the time to sit down have a cup of tea or maybe a G&T and reflect on happy comping.

    In answer to the thread title; no we shouldn't press expired on duplicate competitions. From advise by other posters I was going with pming Glad and Dalkirst as in the past as this has always worked for me.

    The expiring comps; I got the feeling that some people actually like doing this as it makes them feel they are contributing. It's not that big an issue to most peoples comping (waits to be shot down in flames for that one).

    This is a much better run forum than some I have been on and this board in particular I have found to be well run. If it wasn't I imagine a lot of people would use somewhere else for comping.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change

    That says it for me too. I'm quite certain that Luckyone and nobody thinks of you that way Glad. We're very glad to have our Glad.

    Does anyone think it's time to pm a BG to get this thread closed - the only problem is deciding which one to contact ;)

    I think closing the thread is a great idea

    And you are both correct, in fact I have said it over & over again that I think a lot of both Glad & Dalkrist all through this thread

    Should I P.M dalkrist :rotfl:

    Absolutely not.
    Imo the board is not suffering in any way. Its just the bi-monthly grumble that people have. Last time it was bumping threads, this time its expired comps. Next time .... who knows, maybe the titles will be the wrong size?
