It's gone all politically correct. lol
Welcome to the forum, what aspect of chatting do you think has gone downhill here?
its now a money making site ......
get used to it
If you mean Chat..yes its a bit quiet at the moment...but thats to do with a number of factors.....one was the football being on the TV close to every night in last month, and also the good weather means people have other things to do and enjoy. The chat I find always goes a bit quietier in the summer. However if you look at the club meets and lets meet up, think you will find its as busy as ever !!!

Maybe not a money making site, but yes a business that needs to make money to survive.
When the new owners took over back in............ermm cannot remember now, they could have decided to charge ALL existing members a yearly fee, but they did not.
Only admin will know the figures as to how many here still have free memberships, us being one of them. They make NO money out of me at all, yet I get all the benefits of the site for free.
Can't be bad now can it? Something in this day and age for free.
As far as I know software has to be paid for.....servers have to be brought, and people cannot expect to do all the work involved for free...can it?
I get great value from this site, but to be honest I hardly use it. lol :lol:

Sounds like discrimination against us that have to pay to me! wink
Chat has gone a bit dead and I would say that Dean's reasons sum it up.
I'm in chat lots (a little too often maybe), there are always people chatting, you just have to join in!!

Not more discrimination Blue? lol
Is there anything you can do now where it does not discriminate against someone or something fgs? :wink:
You should have joined the site a bit sooner then. :lol:
Like some of us " old un's " did....been here too long already, and am sure some would say " piss off " then. :lol:
They would miss me really ya know, as who would they have to bicker with? :wink:
or would it be more accurate to ask 'whats happened to the potential in my sex life? because a few years it looked possible now its unlikely?'

It must have been a while ago. We joined in Oct 2004, two months after you and we have had to pay year on year.
You joined around the same time as me so I suspect you're on the "free" premium account but you're actually paying for the "Extras" package.
It was around December 2005 that the site went commercial - anyone who joined before this should have a free account I thought? I know because I deleted mine like a dunce so pay for this one smile
You'll pay for Extras though which I see you have but all other aspects should be free to you.

Rarely do I bother. Mainly as I dont have time to read posts the size of short novels or read the posts of those who are wanna be politicians. There is only one good reason to read the current affairs forum and that is it make the rest of the site look friendly lol
What's happened is we now get that many people coming on the site whinging about one aspect or another, people have gotten annoyed and pissed off! I'm sick of whinney threads, I never normally do this but ffs give it a rest if you don't like it, cancel your membership! Rant over!

Yes the threads can be long :lol: I tend to pop in on a regular basis to keep on top of them.
Not sure about the wanna-be politicians but do enjoy reading and entering a good debate with the other friendly contributors wink

Can`t really tell whether this thread is about the forums, chat or the site in general ....
But if you were to ask me I`d say that the reason for the change is that the trolls are encouraged (or at least tolerated) and the fun people are banned ....simple as that...It appears to be a concerted effort but the reason remains a mystery dunno

I am a relatively new member here, and have noticed a few big personality's have been removed, in my short time, by the powers that be, but of coarse we are not privy to reasons they were removed so can not judge
