I like the forums that are not overly policed by jobsworth moderators.
Heavy handed, beggars on horseback type moderators are usually the 'kiss of death' to a forum!
This forum is great!
With Art.
Well said.

Re: Are Forums Dead in The Water
Its often puzzled me why those from America do join, post for a while then disappear , perhaps its the humour, and irony that throws them.We do have a few Canadian posters who seem to stay, of course the time difference may make a difference.
I have searched in vain to find similar over fifty forums in the USA and Australia, but plenty of hobby sites exist.

Oh I agree, when chips are down its a great source of help, just sad that we've lost so many original members due to the combatant style others use.
Surely you wouldn't want a forum full of Julies as I wouldn't want a forum full of tpins.(invite for snide comments)

Re: Are Forums Dead in The Water
I cut my teeth in the forum world on a diy site,not for the faint hearted it must be said,but it never got out of hand,it used to go at a cracking pace with humour and serious in its GD chat,general chat sites such as this as its place and will remain as long as people wish to converse.|
