Isn't that in part what forums are for, information?
Another first poster put in his place.

Nope, we are not an information bureau.
You may now return under your rock.
Ta.

Small mercies though I suppose. At least you weren't on your second bottle and doing the usual rant at the time.
"That's why this Forum is on life support". Yup.
As far as rocks go? Well, perhaps better than hiding behind a keyboard and making lots of loud, self important noises.

As for YOU having the ability to bring this forum back to life (or any other forum for that matter) let’s just say the probability is in the MINUS region.

I think that's technically referred to as "being up your own ass". And - you don't seem to get it. There should always be room on a forum for people from all walks of life with all shades of opinion. If they're met at the door by somebody with your bedside manner though then you can forget it. The fact you're the forum Methuselah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9CeC3yrcG4 has nothing to do with it. You just end up with a small, regular clique of pat-on-the-back members. Speaking of which......
Whatever people's take on the likes of Paphitis and his views, at least he livens things up a bit, as did (the much missed) Tim Drayton.
And as far as my ability to bring the forum back to life being minus goes. You're absolutely spot on. Posting OPs in here with people like yourself strutting around is a mug's game. Perhaps best illustrated with a quote from another Honourable Member: "certain members put him in his place when he started to exert his opinions." because if there's one thing that isn't welcome around here, it's a different opinion.

So you have a LOT to work on to improve yourself and become a contributing member, before you can complain about established members “wrecking the forum” as you seem to imagine.
We were doing just fine before you came along and will be doing just fine after you’re gone… not that anyone will notice when you’re gone! <--
