So it's all about 'likes' then?...far too busy for that desire.
You, and an awful lot of others on this site, have had one hell of a lot of free advertising. Obviously, I am not in a position to know if that free advertising has had any effect, good or bad on your business. Right now, you are biting the hands that feed/help you.
No-one has to like one another on here. Regardless of whether or not you give a damn, having a go at the folk on this Forum, could come back to bite you on your arse. Word of mouth can go both ways. People can build you up, and also knock you down.

My memory is of having the most cuffys

I now have the second most likes after our Beloved Leader

I preferred the older method of judgment

It sat better
1, I am not the leader - @Admin is the leader - and we must bow down to him/her/it.

2, I do not disagree with your assessment of the previous method of assessment.

Not having a go at anyone..just chatting. The fact you took offence is irrelevant to the discussion. To be offended does not mean you are right it means only your opinion counts to you by rejecting other views.

Jesus, i only stated an opinion on the site format!!..i'm fairly glad i kept you all busy typing
Although, constructive opinions on the matter much preferred

If I was using social media to advertise my business, I'd be taking extra special care not to come across as an arse.

Just saying.

To be honest..i don't require this forum for advertising my company. I use it for chat and random sales only.
If i can't express an opinion without an onslaught from existing folk then its nothing more than a clique. God forbid if it was ever an important post!!
Anyway, like i said, far too busy to be sat here dealing with keyboard warriors with no external opinion.
Delete me if you wish.

Haha..very imaginative if only just a little basic!

This post has turned into a great heads up on the quality of some folk on here. Generally the very small group that are rigidly glued to the site and comment on literally everything, constantly. The same interesting group that have been pulled up by admin on other occasions on other posts for showing so little respect. Yes, i've been watching
The Hyena mentality and immature behaviour brings this site down.
Fortunately i know this small group doesn't represent the majority of Stafford folk.
Anyway, time for me to do more constructive things in life rather than tolerate this mentality.

@Cedar Forestry & Logging Ltd

It very much sounds like you are referring to me. I was the one that got ticked off by Admin for referring to someone as female when in fact they were actually er, female.

Anyway, yesterday I spent quite a bit of time trying to help you and @number9 because you were both having problems with not getting alert e mails.

I took the time to type out helpful replies on what you both could do to rectify the situation. I didn't have to bother but I did because I thought that it would be one thing to perhaps help you enjoy the forum a little more.


On another subject, I was in contact with you on a garden thread last October. You offered to come and look at my garden and gave me your mobile number. Quite a big job it will be, worth thousands I imagine.

Then my brother died and the funeral had to be organised. Then it was November and Christmas to think about so I didn't get round to phoning you.

The other half only said to me the other day "You need to think about getting that guy up to look at the garden".

I think that perhaps now I know that even after I tried to help you, that you find it hard to "tolerate my mentality", it might not be a good idea for you to come up after all.

yes, thanks carole, still not had any reply from admin on why I'm not getting emails, so if you're reading Admin, look at your messages, tho gramaisc threw an explanation why too.
for the record, its not me who doesn't enjoy the forum, in case that 'you' was a plural you.

Had a thought. Stafford Forum and its technical makeup.
For a a site with a fair few members, the layout and useability of the site is very basic, which ironically makes it complicated and slow..pacman type format.
Any plans to improve? I enjoy the quantity but not the quality of the site. I understand it may be a voluntary administration but surely time has to now be given to making the site faster and easier and more fluid to use. In an age of fast apps and websites, a good overhaul is surely needed. Feels clumbersome and old. A lot of other forums i visit are much more intuitive and easier to use, navigate and write within.
Just saying

I am usually try to be the words of wisdom on the forum and also try to be the mediator when things get a bit heated, i don't have to do this i just like to and i have often stepped in to try to sort out people throwing dummy's or having disagreements.

When you put forward the idea that the site was basic it was rather like telling a mother her child is ugly, you went on to say 'I enjoy the quantity but not the quality of the site' which was a compliment, then you go on to say 'In an age of fast apps and websites, a good overhaul is surely needed" again this is like saying we are old fuddy dudies, which may be true but the people who use the formum are obviously happy with the format as their replies quite clearly showed.

You also say If i can't express an opinion without an onslaught from existing folk then its nothing more than a clique.

I don't think it was an onslaught - it was folks opinions - which like you they wanted to express.

Could we possibly have an end to this discussion as it is not quality and not really any fun. There is a serious side to the forum, a fun side and a bonkers side.this discussion does not fit into any catagory,
