    Top man. Thanks. Wouls hate to lose this little village, which is what it feels like to me. As an exile it such a massive connection to 'home'.

    If you get promoted, I generally as a message of goodwill lift it.

    That’s good to hear, there are quite a few unable to get to matches but feel part of it all by posting on here.

    My biggest concern is that NOT606 continues but RTG doesn’t. That would almost instantaneously turn this forum into RTG with all the cliques, madness, Mags, internet warriors and wise guys that’s ruined their site.

    Despite the occasional dispute, and fall out, this place is virtually self-policing and as good as I’ve ever seen it.

    It's sort of like this site. You're on the Sunderland section now but not606 has loads of different teams, that's reddit but as well as every football club, it has sections (subreddits) for pretty much every subject you can think of. You can just visit the Sunderland bit and never see any of the rest of the site, or you can join the Sunderland subreddit, which then puts posts from the subreddit on your home page (any subreddit that you join can appear on your home page).

    I'm not sure owt will happen really though, I suspect it'll end up like the Net Neutrality thing from a few years ago and the average online user won't notice a difference.

    Sorry for posting this, I read elsewhere this morning and thought it deserved a bigger audience.

    Sound like you have it under control, but I imagine lots of other forums are worried and as we have seen today, these little places are quite important to a lot of people

    Nothing to apologise for Chunk, I'm actually pleased you brought it to my attention, because it enabled me to go away and ask questions. So well done mate.

    Hopefully you all can sort it and people can behave and realise if a post is pulled it's for their own benefit as it's breaking a rule.

    Modding this site must be hard enough without the thought if someone contacting an ombusmdsman to complain

    Gutted to hear this. I hope we have an IT wizard amongst us who can build something that we can all migrate to.

    The only other thing I can think of is VPN's, but how many of us would be prepared to pay for that service?

    Don't worry mate, if all else fails I'll set something up and take the consequences.

    If the TV Licence people, Edinburgh parking violation department and Mansfield library overdue book section can't get me ...

    ... no one will <laugh>

    My mum used to send me to answer the door and tell him she wasn't in! So embarrassing <doh>
    I've never been a convincing liar, so he must have seen it written all over my face :emoticon-0111-blush

    My mam knew better than to do that, not only was I a crap liar I’d end up telling the truth. I didn't have much conniving in me !
