This site seems do have died a death in recent months. I know it is mainly a computer help site, but loads of characters have stopped posting, including me. Would be good to get back to like it once was. Any thoughts?

Well, 99% of the off-topic board involves one person who posts what I would call the complete crap of the internet: usually some crap pong game or fact about how many dogs there are in Uganda. So basically every half-decent topic is buried deep in a gigantic cess-pit of moronic, incessant spam.

Yes dammit. I can pinpoint the day the craic went out of this place precisely.
It was when the grumpy sod from Newport was transported to the colonies. I believe he has been sentenced to shovel snow and be a tour guide for welsh visitors.

Social element has dissapeared faster than the landlord when you say "your round Dai".
Shame, used to enjoy getting in trouble on here, especialy the Friday night "what on earth is dammit on about now with his warped picture" threads. It bread those two admirable qualities, fierce competition, great camraderie, and a ruthless eficiency.n (he posts, leadingly).

Your posts aren't exactly awe inspiring, but who are we to complain!

Probably a phase. Pre-Christmas slump? The last one was at Easter.

How come I get the blame for this one? As usual the only sensible one around here gets it in the neck.

Yes dammit, you are slipping in the innovative picture posting department. Pull yer socks up man or do we have to go on bended knee and beg for a whoorwhattheheckisitthistimethatthesillysausageisp osting

tom_36 - your observation was a bit harsh at least whoever it is is trying to find things that he thinks might be fun. You dont have to look at them do you

could have eased us back in gently, oh clever wibbler of pictorial representations. (Sorry, been reading "The Chap" again).

*EDIT* Sorry Beanie, I forgot you'd gone to Canada as well. Sorry for any confusion. (as if!)
