I am saddened by this news. Bob occasionally emailed me outside the forum when he thought there was something that I would be interested in. I shall miss him, and his contributions, even though we never actually met in person. I'll definitely be raising a glass of pop in his memory tomorrow...

It's not always practical to warn forum members. All websites have unexpected downtime when there is some sort of unforeseen technical problem with hardware or software. It's the nature of the beast I'm afraid, and, like delays on the railway, it's often impossible for those working to find out...

Ralph, yes, just for the Oscars, but sadly my participation in a student film in the 1990's didn't get me a nomination! Dave, I would like to thank the midwife who helped at my birth, the manufacturers of rusks, without which I would not be the toad that I am today, my first ever best friend...

Ahem. I would just like to say that I was very pleased to have even been considered to be a moderator, and delighted to have been chosen. To those who put themselves forward and were not selected, it's a pity there were not more opportunities available at this time. Perhaps there will be in...

I think that is a good idea sonic.

I'm saddened and shocked by this terrible news. Alas, I never met John in person, but I always enjoyed his posts. He will be sadly missed on the forum, and by everyone who knew him, I am sure.

It can often take time to get used to the tone and atmosphere (if that's the right word!) of a forum. I imagine that being a moderator on any forum requires a certain amount of commitment in terms of time. Does it require particular expertise as well? I suppose it helps to know something...

I didn't know there was a members list either! I can't see what purpose the top posters list serves either. It seems to say, by implication, that the more you post the better you are! Personally speaking, I come on here when I am bored and have nothing better to do. I am only on when I am...

Exactly ralphchadkirk. I didn't even know there was a 'Top Posters' section! If there is competition to be top of that, perhaps that should be done away with if it only serves to encourgae people to increase their post numbers?

I quite agree. I never know what my post count is. I have missed the ntoable milestones that some people set great store by - 1,000 etc, I didn't even realise I had reached them! Quite! There will always be some posts that add little or nothing to the debate, but simpel messages like 'I...

I agree! I don't understand the need or desire to post, post, post. I think I probably post too much, but I enjoy reading all the threads and contributing to those that particularly interest me. But I am not motivated by a need to post a particular numbe rof time sa day, a week, or whatever...

Unfortunately there ar eno shops in my area open at 2200 on a Saturday, so it looks like I'll have to have a bath...though I only had one four months ago :cry:

I am grateful, like everyone else I should think, and it won't stop me coming here, but I would like the rankings back!

Bring back the rankings! Ainsworth74 is quite right, there's not mcuh point in the member rank if you have to be a member to post!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all from myself and Mrs Greenback!
