    I can understand shutting Discussion Time, but not The Arms.

    Friendships have now been halted due to the inability to keep in touch.

    Not good during these worrying times.

    Please i urge you to reconsider and allow The Arms reopen.

    I don't suppose they will be too bothered to be honest, we do not pay for MSE Towers

    We just need to take over a different board. Where's quietest? :D  If I remember rightly, the Families section has sub-boards for 'Mums' and 'Dads' that see very little action ...

    edit. The Matched Betting board has not been used since March!
    edit2. All Shopped Out sub-board barely used, one post in May.

     Maybe if there wasn't so much racism, hate and arguing it would be open. 
    That occurred in the Arrms? or Discussion Time?

    edit. Yep, Dads forum not used since 9 June
    That does not work sadly, I have seen it with other groups who had threads shut down and tried to move to the Arms, they then got hassled off the mods

    @duncanthedog Sorry that I won't be able to keep up with your antics in the Arms, but keep safe and keep your Dad safe too x
