Yeah disappeared I posted on there occasionally Not much of late though @Gordon Armstrong May know something
I think Syd just gave up on it, although not positive as he unfriended me on facebook after one of our many disagreements.
I just found out yesterday, probably the same way that others did. If Syd had just given up I think that he would have told us, so I don't think that. He warned us a few months ago and it hasn't picked up, unfortunately. Think about what the average age on there must be, and that's probably the answer
Yeah it was ok on there at times More so in the early days Then I think most of the posters were from abroad and posted different times
I have met Syd at Sol quite a few times and can honestly say he is one of the nicest people I have ever come across. But I think he wanted other members to be as prolific a poster as he was. Which was never going to happen. And the loss of Billy D and his buddy Dave had a big part in his decision to close down.
He was an East Ender and not too spry on his pins, more often than not, I always popped over to say hi before a game but hey ho...life's too short and all that. Someone pointed out to me that on this forum if someone is getting on your tits you just use Ignore...
I’ve met Syd he sits in front of me I’ve also met dave sadly rip I was at billy funeral rip All nice people However I think you are correct about Syd He wanted people to constantly post And since the members from abroad became more prominent The posting were all at different times
Billy face to face was nothing like you would have expected. He was a little bloke who was quite reserved until he gained his confidence. Dave was just a smashing kind hearted man.. R.I.P. to both of them.
Nice you were able to meet up. Despite some flaws I used to love Billy's posts. Laugh out loud at some of them.
Dave is not dead the ex Royal Marine is alive and kicking on here under commanchio which is a marine call sign, Comm is normally on the Premier board. Comm left this board due to disagreements with another Well know poster on here. unless you mean canary Dave
