Hi all - a simple question - how do you resign from the old Forum? I want nothing more to do with it in light of what has happened and how others in particular have been treated. Unless you can access your account then theres no way of deleting anything you posted Im afraid.

I'm not making a case for the "owner" just pointing out that what we give can be taken away (in various ways) very easily We all lost out on what happened... In other news love the big red and green traffic light system on the forum

No, sorry FL240, I know you weren't. My T and Cs comment was aimed at what Tony has done/ is doing, not at your warning.

Just to clarify re the old site,I am still a member,or at least I was this morning,so not everyone was shown the red card. You will not see any posts from me on there though.

There doesn't appear to be any hard and fast rules concerning who has been banned and who has been allowed to stay. But he has chopped out 1,500 members who must feel rather crapped upon from a great height. No one is bigger than the forum, any forum, unfortunately, he never realised that and saw himself as the "Fuhrer" surrounded by his minions. He took a very large (mis)calculated gamble and it appears to have blown up in his face.

Looking at the old site as a guest, unless I'm missing something it appears that since it was re-instated 3 days ago there has been very few messages posted on the various boards and most are from the owner! A mass exodus methinks!!

I think you're right there Pete, he seems to be pretty much the only person posting at present.

A mass exodus methinks!! He seems to have a new Forum now, started last Monday! A plethora of owner rules, regs, musts dos, must nots etc etc that you may need to consider before joining! farnborough.createaforum.com/general-discussion/

But then to show such a callous and cowardly acts towards Peter Brown and everyone else is simply unforgivable. The Blackbushe thread was a masterpiece and I just hope, that at some point, he'll consider what he's done and at least apologise privately, if not publically, to Peter and everyone else for the damage he's done.

I would certainly not want anything to do with anything that idiot is involved in, looking at the activity on his sites a view that seems to be fairly unanimous.

I've e-mailed 3 times to ask for access to my posts. I've had no reply, so I'm using it as a chance to sort out my Photobucket account (badly needed), which also then ruins the links to the photos from his site.
Its terrible I have to end up being so petty, but I don't see why I should leave my photos on there if I'm not allowed access to them myself!

I feel the same way zz, the forum was the sum total of all of our input but it would appear he's deleted all my posts anyway because I called him "selfish" on his Facebook FAB group page. Anyway, when you look at the great members we have on board with us here, he must be really regretting his cowardly and illogical actions.

Oh well, looks like we're not going to get any sense out of him, so I suppose we should stop talking about him! As someone (Terry?) said- a clean break and all that!
Hopefully the decent thing will eventually be done!

Yes, you're right, perhaps we should let it drop and just get on with what we have here.

What you have here is fantastic considering the time it has been up and running, and I am sure as time goes by it will only get better. Let's move forward now, what's happened has happened and we can't change that, time to move on and make this forum the go to place it deserves to be.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Trev, I hope we can meet your expectations! We certainly have a very broad range of knowledge and expertise here so let's hope we continue to grow and that we get better as we do.

They work for me Bob, your Southampton thread is showing as green on my icon. Maybe you haven't refreshed your browser since posgting.

Doesn't show as new for me Bob because I posted the reply, What about at your end, showing green?

I queried the absence of the Blackbushe Photos thread, wrote a few words of support for PB and have been banned for my trouble... I am puzzled.

I wouldn't worry Mike, most of us here are now banned because we are members of this forum. There's no rhyme, reason or logic to the actions he performs and he will not allow anyone to criticise him, I know that from first hand experience. Ultimately, he'll have no one left on his site. It's a site full of rules and no members, have you seen it on the link one of our members posted yesterday?
