@‌Jiggerycock, firstly well done for the recovery, I'm sure at the CC Annual Gala this would win the best Reverse Ferret Award for 2015. Unfortunately the discourse still makes me a bit queasy so I have had to remove the original post and related comments.

I know it's wrong, but I've just seen vile Kyle showboating sections of the Great British underclass who seem to have too much time on their hands and so blow out of proportion the nuances of their car-crash lives whilst ignoring the bigger picture. The best part is the audience, mainly lower middle-class types, smirking away with smug disdain. One day I'll cave in to one of my friends who keeps on badgering me to go to one of the shows with her.

Saw my first Christmas advert last night. Shame on The Range which, amongst other things, was touting an upright vacuum cleaner as an ideal pressie. Lovely.

Ah right, this is definitely a server synch issue as per my previous post on the matter.

Hmm, possibly but he can still articulate his POV and criticise but just do it sensibly and leave my bathroom bits out of it. Also, and this applies not just to Decs, but punters need to know when to stop harping on.

The welfare of all punters and their families is a priority for me and is at the core of my womanly warmth. Dunna fret pet, cos Dex isn't actually banned - but why he persists with his Hector Salamanca impersonation is something beyond me.

Well, there's nothing untoward in neither the Mod nor the Admin Control Panels for either you or Deebon. I have noticed that the servers have been out of synch with each other for the past few days but fixing that is beyond my pay grade. I think that if you keep on trying it will register.

Deebon had "likes" up to now so this is a strange one. I think there is a system limit as to the number of "likes" and punter can dish out in any given period. How may have you awarded today?

.....which is roughly what we got in "Bitchfesting" section of the forum during the height of "The Forum Wars" - in addition to the Main Posting Board Count!

And 'Scruffs emigration to Australia and not forgetting the miscarriage of justice over his car accident......

Dave Spart lives! Ok, The Gobbler raises an interesting point about "not being a lot of members". The site took a massive hit (in terms of punter count) when the Main Posting Board was taken down and migrated to the Forum format. Part of that was to close down the "Bitchfesting" board within the forum (which then was The Corner's little brother site and seemed to have a different type of punter) and new rules had to be applied by the previous owner immediately after the migration and also after the demise of competitor "bitch 'n' moan" sites that were closed due to the threat of and actual libel action. We have a number of brave warriors here who think they can say what they like knowing they don't have to fund the costs if it all goes awry. Whilst we still seem to attract new punters they generally leave after making one or two posts. Its my belief that this mostly caused by the frosty welcome afforded by a small clique who quite simply are not prepared to give new punters a chance. Its an attitude I've seen before on the Main Posting Board. When I was asked to be a mod on the Main Posting Board it was at a time when the post count had gone down from 100 post per day to 10-20/per day. This was mainly down to one cretin called "Kreed Kafer". Despite all his bleating about free speech he was neutralised and we got the post count up to 250/day peaking at just short of 800 post during one busy week. The same is happening here again to some extent and the picking on new punters has got to stop otherwise the site will slowly be strangled to death by a small band of self-serving idiots. Now, if you think the site's current strategy is wrong or want to ask questions then by all means do so, but do it sensibly. We have never banned punters for criticism but Mods do not and will not take personal abuse and guerrilla warfare will not work. It is what it is but some divas are a bit too highly strung.

They fired me. I didn't have their sense of humour.

Thank Christ for that, your razor-like repartee was beginning to overwhelm me.....

...he's on the 'phone right now with Mugabe on hold....

It's worse than that, whilst not banned, his posts are pended in a Q system pending approval by the CC Moderation Service.

Ok.......you were warned.....

I agree, my "little theory regarding [your] sabbatical was absolutely refuted", though only by you and in the spurious and convoluted style that you are famed for. Your disingenuous bullshit doesn't wash with me. As for "control" I passed up several private invitations to wholly own the site, however since the change of ownership I have taken a back seat but will intervene where necessary. I think the "control" issue lies with you and a few others as you clearly want to mould the site away from its original purpose. You have been asked to drop your ego-driven stance and move on. Now for the last time and to avoid you having another embarrassing melt-down I suggest you do that. I am not talking suspension but sedation. The ball is your court.

Of course not, why would you think that?

Gosh, pass the Sudocrem - I just got burned. Actually don't, maybe you should apply the soothing ointment to yourself as you are clearly still smarting and red raw from having your bottom smacked previously. There is nothing more unedifying than a supposedly intelligent guy behaving like a petulant schoolboy. I don't want to facilitate your promise to go on an "extended sabbatical" so I suggest you move on and stick to using the Corner for what it was designed for.....

+1

Cut out racist jokes guys.....

Ok, let's not get carried away - it'll all end in tears......

It's not ok.

Rat/Stampon, um, since you are a seasoned punter, why would you ask? You're not trying to cause mischief are you?

But you have got the hang of using Tor anonymity software. Cease and desist immediately.
