Which old forumers are still around?

[DUFFEMS 56]

I've been viewing/posting on here since I first posted in March 2005, originally just doing family history research.Many of the old posters have now gone/died/changed their names or, perhaps like me, look at all the posts sevreal times a day but, rarely post as there always seems to be an argument ensuing.

I can't believe how most of the posts however light hearted descend into insults and childish behaviour. I enjoy the banter and love the jokes but, it's never enough for some folks, they have to make it personal and then the original subject matter is lost yet again.

Posters such as Padders, Mr. Bloke, Crookesy, Cuttsie etc. make the forum enjoyable and several others have valid points on more serious subjects.

The old names such as Jabberwocky, Alchoblog, Curriechick, Rossyrooney (RIP), and many others are sadly missed on here.

Having said all that, long may the Forum continue as I will continue to read each day to cheer me up and make me feel sane!

 

Regards,

Duffems

Hmmm...

Thanks for those nice words Duffems!

But it's interesting you say that reading the forum makes you feel sane...

... as it seems to be having the complete opposite effect on lots of other people on here!

I remember a few old hands from way back such as Duffman, and notoriously, t020 (had an intense love of all things Ecclesall, hated it when anyone called it Eccleshall  )

 

 

Or if you said that Ecclesall Road was in Eccleshall!

Thanks for that, all that we do is try to have a decent conversation, I can understand why some who have no reason not to post decide not to do so. I much prefer face to face conversations, I don’t fear anyone and hope that they feel the same about me.

Technically it is, but of course that's Ecclesall Road SOUTH!  

 

Not the Eccy Road most people know.

No, Ecclesall Road South is in Ecclesall not Eccleshall.

Wasn't it you that brought the imitation parrot? to the Harlequin as a joke to present to another forumer.
