rob237 89 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Time has now arrived for me to bail out…..at least until the original purpose of the group has been reinstated. The forum which was often vibrant, interesting, and informative in discussing many varied aspects of Nottingham has, IMO, rapidly declined into anything but….. Therefore, the prime reason for my joining no longer seems to apply. Additionally, I’m aware (from several to whom I’ve recommended membership) that many potential contributors are being quickly deterred by the cliques which dominate the proceedings All rather confirmed by so few regular posters from such a seemingly large membership. Best Wishes !hand! Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ilkolad 9 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 That's a bit harsh Rob, it's a shame you've deemed fit to pull the plug, although I freely admit things do take a nosedive from time to time, it's just a mere reflection of life, and that is precisely why you should stay, because any other forum that simply sticks to one topic and one topic only would be boring in the extreme, and besides as mentioned before, it's surprising how quickly topics pertaining to a Nottingham theme can quickly come depleted.. have a rethink Rob, but whatever your choice, for heaven's sake NEVER sign up to Sawleystalgia, Ilkestonstalgia, or Trowelstalgia, because although there would be many topics of conversation, the boredom would drive you absolutely insane!

Been around forums a while now and nothings dufferent here than elsewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob237 89 Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Been around forums a while now and nothings dufferent here than elsewhere So have I, over many years...perhaps even longer than yourself.... I have no difficulty with threads developing into something else, which is certainly the norm' with forums elsewhere. Suggest the problem here is that the percentage of 'Nottstalgia' thread openers has dwindled...almost to a trickle. Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That happens too Rob, especially around this time of year, when folk spend more time in the garden, out at weekeneds etc etc.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
