I have been coming on this forum for years and i KNOW that none of you would have push Pauline, talk to her or about her the way you spoke about Richard.
and I KNOW that Pauline wouldn't have tolerated the threads before and I'm pretty sure some threads had been cancelled in the past for the same reason.
Being the owner doesn't mean that he can get abuse, attacked critized...left right and center and just take it.
It is our forum to enjoy, our place to relax, unload our bad days, share our best moment BUT it's also HIS money, HIS time which make it possible.
the change of a logo and it's betrayal... REALLY?
being the owner of something else and having money makes it a conspiracy... REALLY?
the man is not as sweet spoken and tactful than Pauline so is attacking REALLY??
Ladies gents i think this mad witch hunt has to stop, those thread about leaving are just like venom in the place you used to enjoy most:(
i'm dreading login in as I'm sure Pauline must be a bit disappointed of the behaviour. she sold a business she was proud of, a great community and now we watching teenagers rebelling against change and authority...
it's sad people, come on shake it off!!!!
or it's the naughty step:laughing:

some people are acting like kids and are spoiling our lovely forum. if they don't like it then leave, quietly. without the silly threads.

Well said :D
It's a forum and a place to come and post,read,swap ideas etc. If the owner has paid and is spending his time doing the forum then its basically up to him what he does with it :D
Looking in from the outside as I don't know what went on, Its starting to look like a 'we hate men, girl power' type attack. :blush:

Must admit I woke up this morning, logged on and thought I was back in the school playground.
I do not know what has happened, and to be frank nor do I wish to know. I wish anyone who has decided to leave the very best in the future and I thank you for any advice you passed my way :-)
As for the personal attacks on Richard - fine I get it, he is not a softly spoken person, he pretty much says what he thinks etc etc and yes this is going to get some peoples backs up. However, that said if I was being personally attacked (and having read a few posts this morning, there appears to be quite a lot) then I would also be reacting no doubt close to how Richard is - he is after all only human!
Richard has given his guarantee that this forum will remain free for us all to use - just because he has changed the cosmetics of the forum (logo etc) does not mean he needs to charge for it. And if he goes back on his word, then I like the rest will leave the forum - but I have no reason to believe that he would.
Come on Ladies and Gents we are all here to help and support each other - not abuse and degrade the owner. Can't we all play nicely now?
Oh and Richard, Im looking forward to my car sticker and pen!! Notepads, diaries etc are always a good way to go as well.
Any ideas on when the Iphone app will be available?
Big hugs to everyone xxxxx

Agree totally :thumbsup:
We would not tolerate children behaving in this manner and would be talking to them about it.
I for one feel sad that people are behaving like they are. I actually don't feel inclined to keep looking at this forum today :(
Lets all get over it, keep things in perspective and remember there are more important things in life than to stress over the small things.

Yes and that is what has caused the upset Bear. Pauline never did and so commanded respect from all.

Car sticker,pen ,things for i phone ,not seen anything about this but i am still logging on every day will continue too as i have found lots of help on here, Richard is entitled to change logo in fact it is now his buisness and although i hope he doesn't change to much he can change anything he likes.
