Forum Future?

[Witton Park]

It is a shame that all decent info on the Forum will potentially be lost but let’s face it why would the FRA want to continue support of this forum, I’ve been around here for quite a while, (I was Daletownrunner before I lost my original log in) a few years ago people did actually respond to ‘others’ who posted, I’ve noticed recently that most posts are ignored unless they’re posted by the ‘select few’ (not all posts, thanks Travs and Charmian ������) add to this some genuinely hideous divisive posts it’s clear that the FRA wouldn’t want to support this, this forum could be the first place a potential new fellrunner visits, some recent posts don’t make this a welcoming place ������

The standards on the forum were not helped by some of the mods, including at least one FRA Committee having their own shadow forum in the background, only visible to them until one of them had a hissy one night, probably after a few sherberts and made some regulars folk including me moderators and we could see it.
They were taking the piss out of the regular forum members privately to each other and setting up sock puppet accounts to stir up debates.

You may recall this was alluded to by FeetintheCowclaps as he resigned as a moderator.
#79 and then #104 here.

Hopefully this will be one of those that the forum auditors preserve as case study for future FRA Committee members.

We will never know how much fuel was thrown on the fire by secret FRA committee member accounts. We only know that it was.

One more thing, when I cam on to the forum many years ago, we already had the "Down the Pub" and like any thread, you come on, click "New Posts" and you can go and read those that interest you.

No one has to be a rubber-necker.
