I didn't used to use the old chat board....strangley enough I use these boards now but don't do much at all with my tree any more...lol.....but I had been working on that for 20+ years.
I don't put many threads up myself but like to join in here or there.

Hi Chris :):)

Its a funny one really, from experience these type of boards are ideal for many many different subjects but do take away a part of community get togetherness. With a continous chat board we welcomed each person in as they arrived, Some nights you could have almost ten people or more reply with an Hiya or Hello, I think that is part of whats missing, Now we have to look for threads which doesnt help much.

I usually sit back and watch......it is fun and rather interesting.
It's best not to get too embroiled in things .....lol
It is sad that there are some people about that seem to be bent on causeing bother.
Glad to see you back here Colin...your're one of the first people I spoke to.....and I've been here for yonks.

Hi Granny :):)

Its a strange situation that is happening here, really has me miffed sometimes. No offence to any moderator looking in but those threads should never have been allowed to develop as they did, it doesnt help anyone especially any new folk looking in for the first time. I expect this post will go first now ive said that lol

Kay????

Hi colin...............just have to say it seems alright for some people to cause trouble and not other.............we had same thing other week different people. don't think moderators know how to moderate. xx

Kay you made me chuckle out loud with the grumpy lol :):):)


Jeanie :):) Congratulations on the 11 months non smoking :):)


If I were to be really honest, I was a little taken back with the first impression on the chat board when I looked in, it seemed all of the top half of the board were friction related. I have it on good authority that moderators are on this site 7 days a week, how the post are still here I do not know .
