General Chat

I used to add to this board regularly but haven't bothered much for a long while, only looking in on occasions, because of the constant bickering....lately though it has seemed so friendly. Well done everyone for keeping this a nice friendly board, I hope it stays this way. Linda

I agree with you Linda and I think over time it will get even better.

Agree -had a look at other one but decided to stay here, Ros xx

Linda , I have foot in both camps so to speak, and yes they are. but only because the bogus name peeps are not showing or gone back to old names;; I to hope it stays this way, as it has been quite awful sometimes;; babs

i think everyones had enough.and we just have to move on.more fun ,debates[nice ones of course] family tree and most of all peace.mmmmmmmmm lovely.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxhugs joy

Good to know I'm not alone in thinking this...I will look in more often now. Linda

I think it's great on the boards. I have said it before. No nastiness or back biting, lovely to read.

I feel peaceful and supported here, nite all, cazxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Personally I feel the spirit has gone from the boards. People dont want to enter into debates for fear that they will be classed as troublemakers for having a differing opinion. People are told what they can or cannot post by other members, Members got told off for 'Arguing'.the other day and had their hand slapped like a small child , and told not to argue because somewhere in the world Ken Dodds dads dog was dead. (Pardon the humorous pun) The thing is, why post to tell people what and what not to post...one persons argument is another's debate.And besides (I havent seen arguing here for a short while to warrant such a thread. Yes it may be nice at present, but if you look, the board is mainly full of birthday announcements (nothing against them btw)...good mornings and games and quizzes. With very little in between. People are afraid to post. Elaine x

Hi All, Just back on the boards after nearly 5 weeks away and i noticed a difference. Have a Lovely day All. R.B.xxx

Well said Elaine. Frankly I find this board a bit boring at the moment. Maureen

LETS Hope ALL THE NICE ONES COME BACK SOON

they're coming to take me away ha ha, hee hee. ho ho. to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time it will be nice to see those nice young men, in their nice white coats and they're coming to take me away... Sorry----i need to be taken away----Sally

Many of the nice ones are still here, using both sites and many others too as well. Sadly a few of the nice ones will never touch GR General Topics board with a bargepole anymore, such the hurt has been. I certainly dont feel 'safe' on here. .Apart from a few who need two trees such as adoptees which Gr could keep a tab on.........Gr should stop multiple accounts .......(some troublemakers have confessed they are using more than one account to post as different peeps on the board.) And also stop multiple name change (have a boardname section which after registering, if you need to change, it must be with consent from GR.) Until these measures are undertaken, I will constantly be on my guard. Elaine x

I agree Lynda, I feel comfortable on here, Cazxxx

I agree Linda et al. There have been some lovely threads over the past week and it's great to see so many new faces - long may the peace continue.
