Belatucadrus Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I can only say that for another month ish so don't knock it. I shall proclaim my youth long and loud, despite embarrassing physical evidence to the contrary (incipient baldness etc.) . At least until I persuade some loaded cougar that it's true, well spiritually anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visit every day and try to enliven it a bit. It is OK, but you need to sort the wheat from the chaff, there is a lot of over sentimentality at times, and quite a bit of mud slinging at times. It can all get a wee bit childish.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas anyone signing up for Yahoo mail with BT would be [email protected] or whatever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rong Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I wouldn't have left, I've been coming here since close to the start and find out new things regularly but I do think the management could tell us what is going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I'm not leaving either. The reason I've signed up for another Forum is that when there's not a lot happening on this one there's always an alternative. :DP.S.: There's not a lot of interest really on the other one either.

artist Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I still look in every day too. Also look in on Computer Trouble forum which has become much like this - even quieter maybe.These places run the course and all but die in the end.There are so many other, more active, forums out there.........

AlanHo Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 One good thing about IDF50 is that Admin there seem to take an interest and respond to queries.I questioned the delay in authorising new members - this is their responseAlan,IDF50 is just run as a hobby, we do our best but at times we have difficulty keeping up with things. No one gets paid or makes any money out of the site. In fact just the opposite the site is subsidised by one of our members.Following a number of spam attacks, including some that have downed the site we apply checks to every membership application and do turn many away.Besides site administration we also receive a tremendous amount of correspondence everyday and we tend to look after existing members first.Kind regardsAdmin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
