woolybanana Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 So, all mods could be one and the same person, then? And that person could moderate more than one forum? I did wonder.YOU ARE ALL HOODY! Now give me my 500 quid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I think that it is worth pointing out that the great majority of the people mentioned have not been banned. In fact, if my memory serves me only one or two of them were actually banned. Even Chris who started this, could not have been banned or he wouldn't still be posting.On a personal note I too miss Mazan who was mentioned near the beginning of the thread.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a personal note I too miss Mazan who was mentioned near the beginning of the thread. There used to be someone called Tag (I miss him [6] ), made a beautiful comment about Padraig once. I'll see if I can find it. He was no longer Padraig, but Le Bouffon and Tag wrote:Ah but in this cold dank time of year when Jack Frost is nibbling at out vitals and the spirits of the woods are terrifying us into staying close to fireside and bottle, we need a little light relief, a Cheeky Chappie/esse, a Laural and Hardy perhaps or to be in the spirit of things, a Mr Hulot with attitude. Let us leave him to drive the heavy lorry of his life along the motorways, down leafy byways, destroying ancient villages as he goes, knowing he is there to bring a chuckle, a laugh, sometimes a tear to our tired lives.

Russethouse Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Unless I'm much mistaken Tag still posts here - in this thread actually, perhaps they lost their mojo when they changed their name [:D][:D][:D][blink][blink][blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Head Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 I had to Wiki 'mojo' Gay, I'm even more confused now! I SO was banned Quills...don't you go trying to spoil my blemished record, if I remember, James came to the rescue?! I've met sevevral forum members and everyone seems really normal, apart from Meg & Mog perhaps, but she does come from the fens the poor dear!

Swissie Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Quillan, my English sometimes lets me down. You are right, I joined as Odile which is my name - but was soon re-named Swissie as a joke - so kept this name when I re-registered here. I was asking PPP for 'evidence' that a member here posts under 2 different names, as he stated above. How would he know? Is PPP a moderator, I had no idea.

Russethouse Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 PPP is not a moderator. And his assumtion is just that - an assumption and as one person mentioned in this thread used to say 'never assume it makes an ass out of u and me' and in this case it has.In other words, its about as true as Wooly suggesting I'm Ron....[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanary Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I have to say that it is really good to see Chris back on here and, hopefully Chris, you're here to stay for a while...I used to post under a different name until one of the grumpy gits told me not to hide behind that name. So I started using my real one only to find that more and more folk went the other way...Out of interest, does anybody remember the name I used to use?

Swissie Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 What happened to her? She had fabulous style. lol - I miss her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 She is busy trying to get the local priest to break his vows but I think she got a bit more than she bargained for as I think he is gay. I'll try and see if she will get out of bed long enough to speak, the lazy moo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I thought le Bouffon was someone else altogether ? Not Padraig... I miss Punch, not that he's banned, just busy earning a living I hope ( I especially miss him when I read the DIY electrics thread ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debra Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Le bouffon was outcast but I can't remember who he was before he was outcast! MrsO was his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 [quote user="Debra"]...I can't remember who he was before he was outcast! [/quote]An anagram of soap... [;-)]He and Mrs O originally used the same computer, and the same log-in, and hence we never knew which one was posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Oh I see - I thought Opas and MrsO were the same id and he only used the former when his own id was banned. It did get rather confusing though. I wonder how they're getting on, presumably still 'here in France'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 It's only a few weeks since he was banned from yet another expat forum - the one that followed the closure of the French News forum.He lasted quite a long time, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Forever Banned would be a great id for him !! He lasted quite a while on another forum I use, but the end was inevitable [Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know there was a forum that replaced the french news forum or do you mean the splinter group that started their own forum after they collectively in concert failed to get Terry banned from the french news forum.[:D]And that's a point... Where is Terry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I thought you'd reply to that ppp [:D]I'm sending you a pm about the forum I'm referring to , not sure if it was a spinter group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'm feeling all nostalgic now, a real trip down memory lane hearing all those old names. I've been on this forum for at least 10 years, but like many others had to re-register with another name when the website went a bit haywire (from what I can remember - or maybe I did!). I always thought Mazan, Dick Smith and Punch, amongst others, contributed 'really interesting observations' that kept things ticking along at a good pace.
