Newsfix

It is now closed, may or may not re open, my money is on it re opening.

I do not like to see forums close especially when you know it COULD be a good one.

The inmates took over the asylum due to the worst forum management since Micky on FH IMHO.

Several respectable posters had warned management but they chose to do nowt and things kept spiralling out of control.

Rules rules rules, I was expecting one against breathing.

I believe Ben wanted some mayhem to keep the forum 'going' for the want of a better description but so much lack of control inevitably killed things, Scrat will be pleased, I hear he has been involved at other sites.

Scrat
Sassy

were the main rats on the ship IMHO, they all WANTED trouble.

If it does re open having the same mods will be a another disaster in the making IMHO.

I was on the verge of leaving due to UNFAIRNESS

I am also on
Flaps
Smeggys
The Student Room.

Best wishes to the good guys.

I hope it is temporary, it's a good forum in the main, but like you say...a minority of lunatics seem to have taken over the asylum lately, and the result was a nastier place to post.
I believe Ben definitely did not want the trouble....I think he is too lax in his running of it, but like he said yesterday, he cant be there a lot of the time.
Eddie battled on her own a lot to keep some sort of order....the disrespect she got from 2 or 3 posters was disgusting imo....mods mod for nothing, they give up their time so others can enjoy a decent forum, in return they should have some sort of protection from the other mods.....I didn't see much of that for Eddie.

You have toearn respect Syl.

eddz ignores nasties from some and shows bias towards some.

Yourself, FG and Magz come out with it and speak the truth no matter who is on the receiving end, I know, eddz is not mod material.
Eddz lets Sassy do as she pleases.
