benjamin1945 16,182 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 If you get the same 20 to 30 people posting each day eventually the options become more limited,don't you think ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MELTONSTILTON 452 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 With over 100 online the other day, the forum must still be popular, I would prefer 1 good post to 30 that are just rubbish or that just repeats, of old ones..... 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 16,182 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Sometimes what is considered by some a 'rubbish post' can be turned into an interesting Topic,with a little 'banter and humour' 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Anyone find that since the new guidelines on politics and all thing PC, some life has gone out of the subject matters posted on the Forum. I personally find it safer to just play the word games and/or comment on safe topics rather than enter into debate or argument.......got fed up with the threads or posts being removed! The days of open slather on abusing another member, like Beefsteak and myself in the good old days, are probably something long past. Besides, sometimes the mundane goes down well with my warm milk and bikkies and, if I am ever feeling low - I just read a TGC post and realise how lucky I am.... 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 The serious side of life is something that I just get on with. I don't spend to much time talking about it. There are many things in the world that I would change if I could. By the time we get to our age most of us have experienced happy and sad times. Good things and bad, made mistakes that can't be changed. Done things we wished we hadn't. If I can make a difference to something for the better, then I will always give it a go. If not, then just except it. So many people on Nottstalgia have so much knowledge to share. Whether it is; Buildings, Buses, Trains, Maps etc it is so interesting all of the time. I wish I was able to add to all of this Knowledge, but i'm afraid I can't, so my input relies on, as Benjamin says on #10. A bit of banter and Humour. Rubbish to some but Treasure to others. I'll Gerroff me soap box now. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,182 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Long time since i heard 'slather' Trevor,.......nice one,people forget you can have friendly 'slather' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,482 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 It's worth remembering that many people didn't particularly like "vigorous debate" when it used to happen on the forum. There were many complaints - openly or privately - about some of the ranting and politics and opinions which were being pushed around. These days you rarely see posts along the lines of "what's happening to Nottstalgia, why isn't it like it used to be?" It may not be just a coincidence that the number of members online has reached a new high, now that there are fewer threads of that type . People were hibernating (to come back to the origins of this particular thread) because they didn't want to get involved in - or have to scroll through - discussions where a shouting match was going on. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomlinson 879 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 It's around 50 years since I left Nottingham. i have offered what I remember of it but much has been previously discussed, so now I enjoy being up dated as to what is happening now along with other discussions. Nottstalgia is an interesting and valuable asset; long may it continue. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 There's only so much to be commented on...the massive new building in Nottm has made it a different place nowadays.Especially with the hundreds of industries that have disappeared. Best for us oldies to live in the past.There was more to chat about. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 860 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I didn't realise there were new PC guidelines, that must have happened when I was 'hibernating'. Yes, banter is great, you are awful Benjamin, but I like you. Some good comments on here, forums like this, about Nottingham, must invariably run out of steam when so many contributors, like myself, live away and have done for many years. On the other hand, sometimes things aren't persued, ie, someone mentioned the fact that the Nottingham caves were to be featured on the 'Underground Britain' TV programme, it was, but I was surprised no-one has made a comment. Then I get an enquiry from a student about 2 Castle Place, I posted a lot of facts, but have I received any feedback or thanks, not at all. Any road, that's life, I must get back to rebuilding my fireplace, the weather down here is beyond belief, it hasn't stopped raining since yesterday morning. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Not much better here Pete. Roll on summer. At least the rain's a little warmer. Anyway, we never ever let rain ruin a good railway trip. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I miss the political chat as I felt that I was always right !!! LOL. However, there's still so much to chat about. Great topics, and some extremely interesting people ! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
