I dunno Gordo. I don't post here as much as I used to (except for the odd spurt from time to time).
I used to love this place , it was everything that the "other place" wasn't. I think an awful lot of the magic went when the mods were brought in and threads started to get deleted all over the place and posting having their guts ripped out simply because a particular mod disagreed arbitrarily with it.
I'm a huge believer in internet freedom and while I'm not totally against mods they definitely should not be made up of board members. You should never EVER actually see them on board...
If you want to see an example of this done well have a look at the peoplesrepublicofcork forums,
If you want to see it done badly (and I mean badly) take a look at the boards.ie forums...
Anything's a dildo if you're brave enough.
