So I received this offer that I simply just could not refuse.
Said offer however did come with a "guarantee" or two, which has ultimately been my sway point to come back to the forum.
So, I accept the offer, and will hence forth participate once again.
LeeEC, please name the Game
PIB1 . . . . well, we never stopped did we.
Stamina we need to talk young man, it would appear the plot has escaped you.
Yay! Good to see you back here and commenting, SDMR!! Welcome back!
I'm truly looking forward to a Forum full of banter and happiness, even going off-topic as often as it wishes!!!.....
I am here but not as often as I would like to
I never really left as you said SDMR...just lurking mostly like you did.
Just Nothing got posted that I wanted to comment on.
But what I would like to know is *WHAT OFFER*did you get??? that got you back here with us??
Anyway it is Nice to have you *back*
I don't know what offer he got because I mailed him the exact same message. ..
Maybe it's all in his head ;)
Ah, SDMR, I am interpreting the "offer" as a new lease on life, an opportunity to entertain and inform, to be entertained and informed, to discuss and debate with courtesy and tolerance, and to have FUN doing so!! (= reconstitution of the Moo Poo Gang?!). Here's a toast to fun times ahead!
Name your *prize* Mr Flag....BUT then remember ,if we do agree on anything that is POSSIBLE.... we want to see you here DAILY !!!!!!
Firstly, nobody chased me away from the Forum, I chose to no longer participate because I prefer to discuss adult topics with Adults. Also once a certain Mod decided to get on the "bashing regulars" bandwagon, I ran the risk of saying something (however necessary) very unnecessary . . ..
So about the offer . . . . haha, you all went on a serious tangent there,
The offer was to come and keep LeeEC company in the forum and help "revive it" a bit. With the "guarantee" that certain elements were no longer around, I simply could not refuse aforementioned offer.
@ Stamina Issue with your daughter? What happened - we've missed the plot I'm sure... Do tell.
@SDMR So the offer of my company was all that it took? WOW! I should have tried that earlier.
On the note of guarantees... I made no such guarantee.. BUT I will say that all are welcome to simply ignore any posts from unpleasant individuals and are asked to immediately let me know if anyone picks any off-forum, on-site "by-mail" fights with you. Such behavior will not be tolerated but I can not ban anyone for their behaviour if I don't know about it.
The mods are ruthless in the chat-room and I commit to being just as ruthless here from now on. Apologies for allowing anyone to get so out of line last time. If I can help it, there will be NO repeats.
Lee, we actually DO know what is *the issue*with Stamina`s little girl is and the court proceedings,as he mentioned the issue to us in a previous forum in a lot of other things, but there non the less.
It is NOT a easy thing that is happening to him and his kiddo or His family at the moment.
I do believe there is many a heartbreak there....
YOU Stamina, have my heartfelt sympathy in this difficult time.
@ SDMR Okkkkkay now I am also disappointed with you .... Nothing naughty was offered.
DAMN...Lee is Good!!!
@ Lee you have now officially earned that last quote / remark on the mail you send me. You are now a Hero / wizard in my eyes.
I am just sorry to see that there is a few of the usual forum people NOT coming in to say hello.

YEAH, I SEE YOU LURKING!!!! so YOU can not really hide!!!!

So, coming up in the next episode of how to use Inverted Comma's to help bring a point across . . . .
Back a day and already the Mods are on my case . . . . :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:
@stamina - Oh yes, I forgot about the thingy - crap - sorry
You know you have a mailbox to rant to anytime!
@PIB - HA HA - who knew I had such enormous powers of persuasion... and if that's what I can do with a keyboard and a mouse.... :twisted:
Oh and btw I have no problem with offering real incentive.... its' just that I'm soooooooo far away and well... my tongue just isn't that long!
Thanks for all being good sports and participating in the forum revival movement.
As I predicted despite all the monologues claiming otherwise, the forum died horribly once all the "troublemakers" were chased off-site. The truth is that even the lurkers only came here to watch what we were up to. No one was being prevented from commenting on anything. I'm contemplating a little "Forum etiquette guideline" thread... anyone care to contribute some points to add? (PM me)
One thing I think needs to be said right up front - ALL off-topic comments are to be responded to with mirth and respect, if you want to get back on topic - simply quote the last ON TOPIC post and respond.
