Dave the Cardboard Box Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Phew! Struggling for breath there, but just survived. What a shock. Sorry to come to you second hand Unisol, but I hope it works out for you here. Here is a very dull local forum in Melton Mowbray which could certainly do with livening up - maybe we could all decamp there if all else fails: www.meltononline.co.uk/forum/default.asp - Cannot make the link work, is there some expert there who can? Thanks Slim for your efforts. As of yesterday your site was banned from all Government computers, no access could be gained. Was that just a co-incidence? *Is there any chance Unisol of creating spontaneous one-off user names for the more comedic threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey_magic Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 www.meltononline.co.uk/forum/default.asp Heh, I forgot about that forum. I wonder if my trolls from many months ago have had much of a reaction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 In a way, I'd prefer it if this forum wasn't as successful as manx.net or manxonline. I'd rather keep it to the few of us that regularly chat on the forums and have good discussions that are unlikely to upset people. It's the success and exposure that brings the problems though, and the contentious issues that bring the visitors. We don't want any trouble here, this is a local forum for local people. On the other hand - a forum which is devoid of anything which might potentially upset people would probably be rather pointless. People would be scared to express any opinions. Other places manage to have lively and controversial discussion boards which are also intelligent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon somewhere in the US or maybe North Korea. Then we apply for FORUM TWINNING status. Like Twinned Towns - which I never understood. Meanwhile - some sort of email list might be good.

moddey Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Meanwhile - some sort of email list might be good. What you mean of all the members? If thats what you mean dont think it can be done because of data protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 No, I think he meant an email discussion list. These don't actually host any messages unless they have an archive, so don't have a duty to remove offending postings as far as I know. There's one at: http://www.topica.com/lists/manks Although that one does archive.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moddey Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Ah I know it , only problem is is does not offer the same kind of community spirit and the debates dont seem to flow so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
