The Riff-Raff Element Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Quite a trick, levitating it like that.As an aside, and this is a genuine question not in any way a dig,slight or insult, I do wonder what proportion of internet forumsactually achieve the critical mass to become successful? Is there aformula, a number of active participants, a level of posts-per-day,etcthat must be reached in order for a forum to thrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I saw him while I was 'stumbling' with Firefox, on a forum that I don't know know if I am allowed to mention....it was along the lines of the TV show 'Grumpy Old Men' or G O G's...that's all I can say.....but it seems to be right up his street![:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I take it you are meaning Ou*** not Tre***? I saw him when I posted there a while back, but it was not grumpy enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]There are a few people around who were present when this site had only a handful of members. I think Gay (Russethouse) may be one of them. Also there are members here who joined TotalFrance in its early days...It'd be interesting to hear their responses to your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I went on the Pants forum a few times when it first started and I ran away 'cos' there was a big bully there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I recall someone telling all the other gits to post a message saying exactly what they thought of everyone else on the forum. Not the most subtle way to stir an argument! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Yes. It's all getting very confusing. We presumably can't talk about that GOG thing because that is still live and the Worshipful Guild of Forum Administrators has rules which Must Be Obeyed (do they belong to the Junior Ganymede Club one asks oneself?) but as Mr T has stalked off the pitch with ball, parts of the net and the whitewash bucket, he has presumably allowed his membership to lapse, so there can be no possible reason not to allow discussion of what is now an historical situation, in exactly the same way it would be rather silly to ban discussion of the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Hughes Aviation Company. Or am I missing something dreadfully anally-retentive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Until we are told otherwise I think it best not to discuss 'the forum that cannot be discussed' because although the forum has been removed the web site it was part of / linked to is still 'live' and I think has been revamped.I would also rather that banned members were not discussed either, sooner or later someone will post something derogatory and we get complaints which is hardly surprising.Your co operation would be appreciated What have GOGIF got to do with it ?PS Dick there is a company that will moderate forums for a fee......
