I am a member of the Politics forum UK, they have a 'Members bar' its like a pub, where you can discuss all issues, its not just politics I might go back to that forum, its quite good.

Well, the troublemakers finally got their way   I think it's shocking of MSE to close DT at this time when many people are stuck in the house, some on their own, and this was the one place they could feel connected. Surely it's not beyond the wit of MSE to root our AE's and kick them off the boards? I'm sure some tech savvy member would volunteer to do it if the forum team has no time (or inclination!)

Those of you who are moving to DS, (or other platforms) are you keeping the same name as you have here? I've been looking into it, but not sure whether to change names or not, I'm very attached to this one

If I joined, I'd use the name I use on here. It is actually my name - in a roundabout way. 😉

I had never seen that! 😁

Yes, I joined DS this morning but I think they have a rule of not being allowed to post for a couple of days, so I'll have a look round it. Trouble is when I put my user name in I didn't check so it's now MArisco I'll see if I can change the A later.

Makes you sound like an Italian American matriarch! He, Ma Risco, how you doin'.

I did find latterly @Cornucopia was getting very critical remarks especially as she was a moderator.. 

I didn't know Corny was female.  Always assumes they were male for some reason.

I find Italian pop music quite atrocious, tbh. Now and then here there emerges a odd track can listen to, but by and large it's the same kind of musical dirge. 

I remember some good Italian bands from the 'Acid Jazz' kind of genre.  Electronic dance music, too.

I expect one day they will just quietly remove the 2 forums.

Who wrote that one?

Will particularly miss the Covid-19 stats thread.  There was a lot of very good information and commentary there.  I particularly welcomed New Shadow's posts.  I even found myself agreeing with Hamish on a couple of occasions!

Although I occasionally use other parts of the Forum, I rarely learn anything from it anymore. 

Special Saver 2's regular savings thread was essential reading, until it was swamped by irrelevant posts.

Nor do I find the main site or the weekly newsletter useful. Good for newbies I guess.  Apart from Credit Club giving me free access to my Experian report, I think I have little use for MSE now.

Good bye fellow forumites.  I have enjoyed sparring with you all over the years.
