Archie would seem a kitty cat in comparison.

I will only agree to this settlement if you Peter Lake are a managing partner and promise to keep her on a short leash.

Oh what sad times are these when passing moderators can say nee at will to old posters. There is a pestilence upon this forum, nothing is sacred.

Knowledge like that is miasmal, it drifts on the breeze and infects the entire country. How can anyone exist in England who doesn't hear of the running plots?

To get it right we'd need at least a half dozen FG members to have no alibi. Motive's no problem but the lack of alibis ought to be coordinated.

Not to worry, we left a long time ago.

Well no, actually. If she told you that photochop by Clancy is of Nomad then she's been leading you up the garden path for quite a while.

:yh_flag I think you'll find it located behind the non smoking area for bemused Canadians.

Anyone else care to join us in our designated smoking area in the back of the non-smoking bemused Canadian area?

Easily located just north of the car park for bemused Scots.

French word, bonhomie. Meaning bonhomie. Anyone spelling it bonhommy is an ass.
I dont care that you were you goaded. I was homesick and they helped! An incredible gesture I would say. Big exam tomorrow, could use some good ol stiff upper lip! :p

I find Nesbitt amusing and i'm sure i'd find him even more amusing if i could understand him.

Why do these people have no washing machines in Eastenders yet plenty of money for the pub?

Jimbo lacks the quintessential trademark of Nesbitt, that of the combover.

And why not - I can be civil when I try.

Playing devil's advocate, I can see an alternative interpretation of the post volume trend:There will always be a couple of months in the fall when activity drops before picking up just before ChristmasA forum site will grow while its moderator team is less than 8-12 months old and will increasingly diminish at all other times.There's very little on the graph that doesn't follow those two statements.

If it's valid, FG could replace the current moderators with a set composed entirely of ex-members who have never moderated FG in the past (which excludes Anastrophe who'd not want to anyway, LadyCop, Carolly and RedGlitter):Valerie

FrankyThey'd work hard at implementing light moderation rules, they'd bring back their friends, and since Spanky Franky doesn't own or run 24 hours any longer poaching is no longer a problem.

Neither are Accountable, Fuzzywuzzy or Jimbo

Just quieter than usual.

Neither are Acc or Jimbo or Valerie or Fuzzy, if you want to get technical, but to all intents and purposes they've refused to post on FG under the current moderating system for a significantly long while.

And...our Valerie:-6:D is still a member of FG.

I haven't really noticed much difference in the moderating system, and now I'm wondering, "Why havent I?" or "What have I missed?" Or is it that it just hasn't affected me?

Why not LC ?

Presumably because she was previously a moderator

I still view myself as an outsider here, I am not a natural 'joiner'

But putting my six pennorth in, one of the things that winds me up about FG......is threads like this one.

Navel gazing angst.

Have I said too much already ?

And bugger me, even I have joined in.

Nomad;1316117 wrote: Why not LC ?


I expect after achieving the unique record of being ejected as a ForumGarden mod twice, with administrator bans both times, there must be some underlying flaws in her social skills. I can think of five offhand, but the thread's very carefully avoiding Compost and I'm certainly not going to weight it in that direction.
