Clive Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Applications for the mod gig!!! He did not do a very good job of vetting them, look at the toss pots who ended up as mods. But on the upside it makes him look better....... marginally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yes, I guessed that was what Clive was saying Yeah, I don't know what happened there, Pete, but it lost the vibe. I still go on there from time to time, but don't really feel motivated to contribute much. Mind you, we've got so much still to sort out here I'm finding it hard to concentrate on much else at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand No......Bob's long gone from there Clive! I couldn't invite him here via FB while I was still active on the other forum cos it wouldn't have been ethical. But once I'd left then I gave him a shout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a very different atmosphere it has to be said. I like to go on a forum and have a laugh sort of thing......so it's not for me any more I'm afraid. And yeh.....it ain't easy doing what you, me, and @MooN have done by moving abroad. But over time it does get easier. The language is the key to open the door though.

Expand Yes, but to be fair Stu has had some health issues over the past year, so I'm guessing that's had an effect to an extent. It's a fine line between over-moderating and under-moderating a group and no matter what you do you'll always piss someone off somewhere along the line. Yes, I'm working on the language thing, but it's all the admin stuff that's doing my head in. Along with selling our house in the UK. But I'm sure it'll all come together eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
