Thats because most replies are done by private message as per rules of this thread.

Maybe if someone send a pm, or is lucky enough to receive a pm, they could come back and tell us as it's looking like no one is helping anyone and people will give up posting on here.

I have just gone through my PM box and recently I have sent 13 PM's all beating quotes posted on here and from that I have received 4 replys and out of those 1 booking. Thats means 70% of the people I have taken time out to try and help have not even bothered acknowledging me atall.

Its little wonder alot of people and agents have given up bothering trying to help people when people cannot even acknowledge your efforts let alone say thankyou!

To be honest thats why i help out so very little now as i was taking time out to help others on this thread and maybe getting a couple of replies.
The old thread we had where you could post the quotes on the board was much better as everyone could see what needed to be beaten and nearly all members were grateful for the help and the money others could save them.
It seems now like we have alot of new members asking for help and then just never replying or coming back to the website at all.

It would be good if alot of members came back to update us but it not happening and i doubt ever will because manners have gone out the window here and some people are all for taking but not for giving back.

Is it not possible to go back to the old ways as you say and many agree the old thread was much better.

I totally agree, manners cost absolutely nothing, and if you have helped someone save some money, a Thank You should come as a matter of principle... a quick post to say that they appreciated your help, would take very little effort, and benefit all of us, as you guys going out of your way to help will wear a bit thin without any appreciation...

I appreciate you taking the time :T
