Nice that you are happy with the price you received.

So which forum has he been banned from now? I checked the ones I could think of. Oddly enough he's actually an interesting guy to talk to "face to face". It just seems that hackles are raised when the written word is employed. Ah well, I feel a commiserating email coming on

As much as I enjoy watching PITA members from CF getting banned or in trouble on other forums (and vice-versa) I would discourage such talk on here. This has happened in the past (lol and we always won

) and can start off inter-forum wars which isn't something we want to encourage. As it stands CF is often used by other media as a valuable resource for news, information and telco stuff so although our current mix of nuggets is 'colourful' enough, we don't want to end up putting potential noobs off

(and as for emails, we'll never make them public but the crawling/begging/insulting/"I know where you live etc" emails the team gets after a door-slammer starts to miss the place or a troll gets booted never fails to keep us amused

)

People come - people go..... But what I DO find a shame is that some of the more long-standing members get driven away

Still - my happy thought : More training next week

Cooked Natalie a meal last night which didn't poison her so all is good.

how do you define winning?

Do you not think a noob reading the T&C specially things like the gods clause might find the control here a little oppressive and off putting in itself? this is not me starting anything its just my 2p worth

Well when the person thinks they are smart enough to come back and that the mods don't know fine well who they are.

They are just watched so the second they step out of line they are on a one way ticket back to bansville.

Possibly, but then hopefully they realise every forum has rules. I never want to see anyone leave but if they cannot or will not tolerate our T&Cs then the alternative option is there. There is a well-known pub in Swansea that is known for not having music on in there. No live bands, jukebox, nothing. Personally I object to that, I can't stand the lack of atmosphere. So rather than bring some mates in with instruments and start up an acoustic set I simply avoid the place.

Had another Virgin Media salesman at my door.
I said no thanks when he showed me his ID. the cheeky barsteward said I haven't told you what I want yet with an attitude.

I swore at the barsteward.
annoying barstewards!!

Perhaps it's just me, but I find that the forum has gone *very* quiet lately. I think there's a risk of it dying off completely.

I do think it's gone quieter for sure.

Long term members may have left because of the way some members get treated by staff.
