Right, please stop all this childish behaviour. Play nice and you never know, we might all become friends again one day.
We all love these quirky little vans and we are all a little quirky ourselves, some of us more than others, so please let's try and get along.

An interesting concept which I'm sure most would agree with but if your team were a little less dictatorial and a bit more tolerant I dare say this forum would not be here.

I moderated a forum for 5 years with over 3000 members and we only banned 1 member who was repeatedly abusive in all that time.

Coming here to stir things up will not improve your image.

I'm starting to regret having posted encouraging our silent minority to post, it seems Stuart AB was a fair proportion of it

P and P, these conversations took place on this site and we have screen prints to prove it if need be, so please don't accuse us of telling lies.

I am not actually saying it was wrong by the way. On occasion, as you know, we have had to move posts into quarantine also, as you know. In keeping the peace, it is sometimes necessary to hide the dirty laundry and discuss the problems behind the scenes.

If two people disagree with each other, they should go off to somewhere quiet and discuss it and that is what should happen in a forum just the same.

Randa, I agree with you to some extent. Somethings have been dealt with a little harshly over the years, which would have put some peoples nose out of joint, but on the whole, the team has tried to do it's best to get things right. As you will now see, it is not an easy task.

Agger was not best pleased when his post was removed!

Here's a suggestion for you! Why not change the idea of this forum to be a social media site where all the mad poems and stuff can go and less like a replica of the Eriba Forum. At the moment it looks like a rival forum and I can't see there being much harmony between the two sites, while it appears that one is trying to overtake the other! Just a thought.

The aim here is to be both

Nice of you to drop in Stuart, it is Stuart isn't it?

Hob, things always look worse when you feel like you are on the wrong side of things, but there are always two sides to every story. Ask yourself if perhaps you know the full story before calling others dictatorial.

What amazes me is how he never seems to consider that perhaps all the people who they've 'Culled' over the years and the ones that have moved here are right and TEF may be wrong.

Hob, we want you to feel welcome on both sites.

As already mentioned, given time, most of the Eriba Forum members will know about this forum and there is every chance that one day, we will be parked next to each other on a campsite somewhere popping back a few drinks and laughing about this period of Eriba history. Life is too short to fall out over a website or two!

As I said 5 years a moderator most of that as admin I have seen most things

What really worries me about your admin style is I'm sitting here refreshing the page on your forum to see if i'm still a member

I recognise the style now Good evening Stuart I really do hope both forums can sit beside each other comfortably .........but I have my doubts

gladly \ hob \ Neville

Hi Andy, (Hey that's my name LOL)

I have always valued you on the Eriba Forum and just wished that you didn't push so dam hard with that book of yours and your attempt to make money from it. You knew from the word go that the Eriba Forum does not want to be used for financial gain.

You could have backed away from it, or should I say, agreed not to try and sell it, or even donate a percentage to the forum running costs, but you were determined to push it through. I was sad when it was decided to remove your access, but when you kept sneaking back in under other usernames, I gave up the idea of ever being able to get your access restored again.

In answer to your question, birds of a feather and all that.

Lets face it, everyone here is a keen Eriba enthusiast and most of you guys and girls spend most days in front of your PC's talking Eriba's among other things, so it is only natural that you need a place to socialize and to talk about other things besides Eriba's. Alas, this is where things went down hill. Some members of the Admin team really want to keep things on topic, i.e eriba related or useful to others.
