Don't use it anymore, even to "nosey"

Out of all the websites I go on, on either work or home PC, it is still the only one that causes annoying pop-ups on screen.

I posted on there last week, then got a flood of popups so gave up. HJ killed the forum. This has all been discussed before though.

I really have no comment aboout HJ, not visited for a long time.
I'm impressed by the fact that C4P seems to have become a club for a load of different, friendly, chums who all seem to get on with the others and are not shy about posting a little risque topic now and again.

I'd like to see a few more first names, now we're all mates. personalise it a bit more. No harm in that, I think.

Come on. who's coming out first ?

"C4P seems to have become a club"

Exactly. The Backroom was a pub, and members of the public kept on walking in. If they didn't behave, the regulars glared at them. Some even became regulars. But this place is a club. We don't have a regular flow of members of the public popping in.

How many of the regulars here didn't frequent the Backroom before February? Two? One? Fewer?

Very quiet in "The OtherPlace" - Runfer D'Hills

I was pondering on the lack of new faces only recently. One thought occured to me of "inviting" people I know who I think might be interested to have a look at the site to see if they would enjoy it and possibly join in. Trouble with that one is that some of us enjoy using the cloak of relative anonymity on here to vent our feelings about our "real" lives and events therein ! It would be more difficult to speak so freely if one knew there were others present who might use such information in ways we would prefer that they did not.

Secondly, I find the use of internet chat has extended my social circle and while I know some of my friends from other activities or parts of my life probably would enjoy this, in a way I see it as a slightly dangerous thing to have too many with an offstage potentially private agenda.

Having said that, there may well be people on here that I "know" through the forum and "know" elsewhere but have not yet connected the two identities.

Not so quiet in "The OtherPlace" - Avant

I'm David and as you know I moderate on HJ. C4P has become a club - and a delightful one too. The HJ forum hasn't in any way been killed by HJ - just settled down as a place where people can come and consult about cars and motoring - which is what HJ intended it to be. It's very good that we have both and I'm happy to belong to both: vive la difference.

A thick skin is an advantage - I'm proud of mine - but sadly Oilrag, a sensitive soul, has been upset by people on both forums and has retired hurt from both.

We'll keep the general discussion section open on HJ for occasional comments and questions, but this forum is clearly the place for it, as HJ is for technical queries.

Whatever happens, let's co-exist and not knock each other's forums.

I can't claim a thick skin, but I can't say I am devastated by rudeness (or very occasionally justified criticism or reproof) from people I don't know personally. I feel that having had to go to boarding school at an early age makes people more stoical about such matters. Boys' schools are good for developing a robust form of po-faced but insulting badinage which goes well here. Zero and BBD do a good double act with it, although of course they may both have been at girls' approved schools before they found their true level in Borstal.

My father constantly warned me that I would end up in Borstal. But I wasn't bright enough to pass the entrance exams.

I joint up on the other side just before the other forum was changed and I must say its now worse for it.

After a couple of weeks I was informed of this excellent site and joint up.
I am glad I did.
Its nice that everyone is here and the past advice from you all has been excellent and saved me money.

I occasionally have a look at the other place, but only because the technical section seems to be more active and I like to have a read through – but all the pop ups, and the flash adds slow done my PC so I don’t go on it very much.

I like this place more, and I want to say thanks to all who have me made me feel welcome. If in some of my posts I have come across rude then im truly sorry I never meant to upset anyone.

I like to contribute when I can but feel a little guilty as I don’t start new topics as much as other members its only because I never can think of something interesting quick enough

Very quiet in "The OtherPlace" - hillman1

and that makes 3001 ;-)

I'm Nick, by the way. Look on C4P all the time, but don't often feel the need to post. Look into HJ too, but it isn't the same anymore. Glad this one has been set up.

Very quiet in "The OtherPlace" - devonite

I see one of our old friends from the Br that came here briefly, (and was renowned for his "creative" style of writing), has, since his exile, made a brief return there (under a new Nome de plume) to let folk know that he has started his own "blog".
So if you miss him "here", you can find him "there"!
