Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Trolling /dying a death etc

It's over two years since I frequented this forum, and over a year since my last post. Has this forum died a death? If so why? I hate to say I told you so (OK, I do love to say I told you so) but isn't there an element of being the author of its own misfortune?

In a sense it's actually a victim of its own success. It was the first "social" forum, and as such became the template for other social forums. There would have been a lot of posters who moved onto other social forums which were more to their liking after they were created, in particular the Noc forum. In addition, quite a few of the old regulars have become mods, CMods and admins, and I know in my case this has meant I simply haven't had as much time as I used to to hang around here and talk crap. Well reasoned, intelligent and very meaningful crap it was though. Now, where are the wimmins with the rasher sambos?
