    I would just like to put on record that shiny has stepped down as our Mod, his business commitments and personal affairs have taken up the majority of his time and he felt his efforts towards our forum he could not keep up, he will carry on participating as a member of our forum so hopefully we won't lose touch .

    Shiny joined as a Mod 6 plus years ago and I will miss his dry sense of humour, fair balance and lack of dramatics, he loved Marvin, named his dog after Flinty and has always been a Bristol City fanatic, just like the rest of us, systems normal.

    Tom continues as our Mod, I am still a staff member and retain the same powers, I am available if required to help but Tom is your first route, he is the nominated Mod.

    So it's good bye to Shiny, thankyou and all the best.

    wiz.

    From an outsider's point of view, I liked shiny as a mod or not - blunt and sometimes aggressive but hey, so what?

    Although obviously and rightly biased toward his own club on here, he seemed to keep an even head without using his forum powers like others.

    The best forum moderators are those you don't really see as such. No need to get involved and let the forum(s) flow unless there's real breach of ethics that needs intervention. Deleting posts because they upset you or when requested to by another member to do so without very good reason is poor moderation.

    Shiny fella - keep posting and I'll continue to annoy you on times - you never know we might agree on something one day. <laugh> :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Thanks for the kind words Wiz, appreciate it! Wasn’t aware how long I’d been MOD! Still grieve over R Marv but we had some good times. So long as the City are, I’ll still be around. Here’s to a promotion push!

    Sparkles I think we can agree you’re a welsh twat <cheers>

    Shiny, I feel like on this forum we witnessed a boy growing into a man with you.
    Please don’t take that the wrong way - I genuinely mean that with the best of intentions.
    Gradually over the years your posts and comments have become more thoughtful and less spontaneous - although I do miss some of the humour of the early days.
    I wish you the very best with your venture in the licenced hospitality business - bloody hard work with hardly any holiday, working all the hours is not for me any more, but I did it for a while years ago and I know how much work is involved.
    Keep posting - and thanks for being a mod.

    Shiny you have been a fantastic Mod over the last 6 years, I'm gutted you have stepped down, its the end of an era.

    Hope the business goes well for you..

    Actually I wasn't referring to you, but if the cap fits, wear it - just don't spoil another decent thread.

    Yes it was you Wiz for deleting my posts like a small child because I challenged you.

    Anyway, what about banksy's "pissy comments" toward me then pal - double standards or what?

    You can't stop can you, you now call me a child and you want to challenge everybody.

    It's not personal as far as I'm concerned, any normal civilised comments from you are welcome, anytime, other than that I will react, not a threat, just a factual request.
    You won't get any further contact from me.

    Wiz, Wiz, Wiz - for goodness sake stop getting so upset on a public football chat forum. <ok>

    For someone who's been a stalwart of your board for years and seen as something of an elder statesman on here to react to forum banter in this manner is ridiculous. There's a misconception that on N606 this is "the Bristol City board" and for posters to behave as though it is a dedicated club board like OITB and a few over on the Cardiff side as well.

    Not so - N606 is a national public football forum and so much better than them because it allows visitors from other clubs to interact with each other over football and other matters. Of course that includes banter and disagreements between posters but isn't that better than the introverted parochial stuff we're all used to?

    There's a place for everyone on these forums and whilst visitors can be provocative, there is no need to delete their posts and exclude them because of personal issues.

    You've mentioned a few of your posters on another thread whom I've supposed to have upset. I won't name them but get on with them no problem at all - you are totally wrong in that assessment. I invite you to engage in a competitve spirit on this chat forum like many other of your members do or leave the rest of us to get on with it. <ok>

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE lets all get on whether poster on here, our board or guest/ visitor ... yes some of the banter cuts to the quick but is very seldom if ever foul mouthed at your face abuse. AND THE OPTION IS SIMPLE just don't reply for the sake of it... I don't after a few exchanges that I DEEM NOT TO BE PROGRESSIVE....
    HAPPY NEW YEAR

    PS just for ROD added a bit of colour!
