| OK time for a 'forums are good' synopsis! - been on em for years - in their heh days and now they seem to be languishing - OFF used to be good when the two old aunties tried to run it mags and megs but they got worn out and the owner came back in with a force and now IMO headache producing : trust levels abound ; good brownie points are awarded and people are treated like adults in kindergarten imo. many of my old friends have moved on ; step out of line and you will be removed
format: color
FPForum - nearly as bad but at least easy to navigate but quite ruthless mods all over the place who love to join in all the discussions and then close them down just as quickly - yes seen good members come and go
format color
HIP a big yankie one mind boggling but does allow a high degree of flexibility and light porn!
format very colourful
Buzz 50 - erghh - all the usual chat rooms for the walking dead ; discussion forums ; colourful layout and not too heavy on the mods ; private chat mode at a small fee 121 chat but not sure who might peer over ya shoulder ? lots of yanks ; few ozzies and lots of bots tryin to get in and sneak ya away to other sites to remove ya money and liberty
format color
F3A social - small ; strongly brit ; all b/w presentation - just a few hundred members and only a dozen a day turn up but can be quirky ; often strongly politically motivated ; but appeals to the lost and lonely has very very low degree of moderation who imo tolerate a lot and for my time and money I enjoy the most atm
please add more that you haven't already with reviews cheers wots my name here davo? hmm must'n let too many cats outa the bag
Murgs - used to be a strong contender - has color - and for a small site punched above the ring imo and you know the rest! |

| OFF I'm banned for life.
FPF I'm banned for life.
HIP Not heard of this one.
Buzz 50 Could never get to grips with this one.
F3A social Not heard of this one.
IDF50 This one is not too bad but I was banned for no good reason, then reinstated, banned again, then told if I pleaded with Admin, they might let me back. I have never grovelled in my life (apart from when cops pull me over!) I don't want to go where I'm not wanted so I never rejoined but I do have a peek occasionally. Tends towards the right with one or two that I regard as Red Necks, the rest with the exception of two or three tend to be Daily Mail readers.
Seniors Forum Quite big, good layout, easy to use, bit slow to load media, being based in USA but plenty of UK members and a few from the Antipodes. No politics allowed.
The Rowan Tree Very small, seem to be pleasant people generally. I rarely visit now.
TOFF I recently joined, small, reasonably friendly but I'm not sure that I will settle there.
Aardisden Small, tends to be socially aware, I'm happy there. |

| Thats some list of forums you two. I just use this one from knowing MM from an old Preton forum from nigh om 20 yers ago.
I have tried to register on Aardisdan but the confirmation code entry system is totally unreadable and I have clear eyesight.
Purwell, can you mention that fact,perhaps its the reason why there are so few members.I did e-mail the site but didnt receive an answer.
Still shorts weather over here and I am bust tree lopping. |

| Had this reply from Aardisden. - Quote :
- Thanks Purwell. Unfortunately I had to make the anti-spambot measures very hard as we get bombarded with fake applicants, mainly with Russian emails.
I'll change the settings for a while to give genuine new applicants a chance to register. Perhaps you could pass this message on, in case they don't see it here. |

| Sadly a few weeks ago I had a mild stroke, speech has been affected, then I have had covid and Harry also has had a stay in hospital with covid. It's been a very busy few weeks, hence why I haven't been on the site.
Good news I'm on the mend, Harry is home, and we are getting back to normal.
Thank you for being concerned xxxx
My daughter Michaela has written the message to you all xxxx ----------------------------------------- don't worry be happy

| @The Beast I'll stir them up. Not been too active myself as my kitchen and bathroom are being upgraded.
@Jenkay get plenty of rest Covid even, in its mild form, can be very debilitating. |

Still no word Purwell.
The temperatures have dropped in the last 48 hours and we have lit the first log fire of the winter this evening. |

| no wonder us oldies are falling apart we can't even get on aging forums!! - I tried a few new aged jazzy ones a few years back and they wanted you to take on a complete avatar character and play stupid charades and games quite bizzare - so I suppose there will just be a few left for the oldies - the dating onese are serioously for dating and most of us don't wanna get dragged into that do we? once almost every village in uk had their own forum and that was good but again poorly patronized often. I've tried a few ozzie ones but people wanna come and stay with you and visit all the time!
obviously no one is yet putting up their hand to run this one - miss piggy?? alanhop ho ho??? |

| Not good for me to take it on, I'm too opinionated for my own good sometimes!
Had a look outside this morning as usual and noticed a water leak from under the footpath next door.
I went back indoors and rang our water supplier Affinity Water. They answered very quickly but I was on the phone answering questions for 13 minutes. |

| Quite heavy rain here in North Herts, not sure about the temperature.
I'm expecting workmen to be here soon to continue on my kitchen and bathroom upgrade. They are all Romanian, very well behaved and hard working. |
