Not gonna get too deep in this but forum was a little slow when I joined in Oct 2011. Gordoom the site runner was the only one really posting any stuff. They have strict policy of being civil (a lot stuff on this forum would have you banned) & apparently did a lot of banning which drove a lot away from forum (many to esb). He wanted it mainly for genuine historians.
Anyway, I did some posting like I've done on here & he was moving to Panama so asked me if I would post on forum looking for articles & news etc. Problem was the forum had become that slow that when I did it there was tons of stuff being posted, but some of the regulars (x 2) started complaining there was too much stuff being posted & started a complaints thread.
I had asked them on forum to do a few posts, ya know like Roe & you do to get ball rolling so can chat but they slated me & the owner. I had skyped with owner but got the impression he was fed up (done it 20 years) & he just decided enough was enough basically, although I would have carried on. I wasn't an admin or owt, just poster who did the posting to try & drum up traffic/discussion.
Forum can still be seen but had been down for a couple of months, I thought it was deleted but was some glitch. While not an active forum there are some sections that may interest some who are interested in the history.
Some of the stuff I've posted here has been raided from that forum.
