    Build, cost, debate over forum usage and time issues apparently.

    May never return.

    RIP

    KB, TFT and myself obviously ahead of our time :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Not that I don't believe you EG but would be good to hear an official update every know and then (e.g. Lambie?)

    Both Ians busy with CTWD campaign, young families and work. Forum had become a hassle to moderate well and usage dropped to less than 20% of it's peak in 2006-8. Very few users left with entrenched opinions and no regular new ones. Rather like an old mans pub with a regular nightly clientele of 10 - keeps the wolf from the door but once landlord passes away, will never be taken over again.

    Worst decision ever made was to take it off the pro-boards function back in 2009 as it was all maintained there.

    I shall pass on updates.

    With hosting being somewhat my profession, I'm happy to give a hand if anyone from CI is reading this...

    If the loss of CI means we gain ESSEX GULL, their loss is our gain. I like him!

    It's not really our loss. We're all on here now anyway!

    Just wait til Tenfoot arrives!

    I think you need to relax a little, old bean. Getting uptight with online forum participants over minor details is ridiculous and pointless. It begs the question of how do you cope with real life problems if you can't remain silent over small issues on here. I suggest you either ignore or block me if it upsets you that much. You seem to have posted nearly 4000 times and every time seem hysterical and pre-menstrual. Perhaps get your boyfriend to pay more attention to your clitoris.

    I just hope that TheOtherPhantom manages to find his way over here (along with others). A first class chap and thoroughly decent person.

    Well I like it here. The general chat board is good for a laugh.

    I appreciate the interest, old bean, but you are derailing a thread which I have authored.

    Please take the rules of this forum seriously and show it respect.
