Anyone know of a Leeds equivalent of this forum

[Speedy_Jim 10]

Hi peeps

 

I've got a mate in Leeds who's a little stuck for stuff to do that doesn't involve sitting around drinking and getting stoned...

 

I reckon a similar forum type thing might give him a chance to do some slightly less unhealthy stuff of an evening and get more of a feel for what's going on in Leeds. Maybe find people to play squash with, that sort of thing.

 

Anyone know if there's a similar site to this one (which is top, by the way) but for Leeds?

 

 

Ta,

 

Jim

The Leeds equivalent of this forum would be two Ovaltine tins joined with string.

 

Using this device they could endlessly discuss their football team's sound thrashing at the hands of lowly Gillingham last night

It looks a bit tacky but here is one and here is another one

 

HTH

Ps Here is the first link again: http://www.leeds.angle.uk.com/forum/

Hyperlink didn't work

I clicked on those sites you gave and all I got was alex pepper on one and the other one is out of date.

[owdlad 10]

Roy it looks more like Dr pepper to me..lol and as you say the other one is out of date, so much for vibrant Leeds.

And anything that goes to a Yahoo site makes me rather nervous because of their attitudes towards 'ownership of words'. They have a little bit in their 'small print' that says that anything you post acn be used by the Yahoo Corporation (or whatever they are) for their own use.....

I use Yahoo! as my main search engine

I still use Google / DMOZ and a few specialist engines but used to run some groups on Yahoo to provide a 'virtual working' environment for a group I did some film work with.

 

We packed in when we looked at the T&Cs as they suggetsed that we might not be in quite as good a control of our intellectual property rights as we thought we were.

 

This applies to the public areas of Yahoo - once you have to log in then in principle the stuff is protected. Anyway :

 

"With respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of Yahoo! Groups, the license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the Service solely for the purposes of providing and promoting the specific Yahoo! Group to which such Content was submitted or made available. This license exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the time you remove or Yahoo! removes such Content from the Service."

 

I have no problems with being quoted - it was the 'modify and adapt' clause that had me running worried!

I use Google as my main search engine.

 

It usually finds exactly what I'm looking for 99.99% of the time.

 

As for a Leeds based forum, surely some clever Leeds native could get some webspace, a domain name, say http://www.leedsforum.com and start one of his own?
