That's actually brilliant. I sincerely hope that our current youth helps it last.

I don't hang around on too many other forums, but on one I sort of hang around I posted in a thread - that was already waaay off topic and pulled a 'Ron' on them by correcting someone who said he could play 5 cords on his guitar - I chimed in and said that would be difficult and maybe he could play 5 chords on it.

Well, that went down like a lead balloon - and the entire thread was deleted - all 5 pages including the relevant information the OP was after. When I PM'ed the Admin team asking where it had gone, I was told in no uncertain terms that it was deleted because it was off topic and my post was the final straw... :D

I've never come across anything like this, but as I said, I don't get out much... :D

So, is this just a pack of humourless people or is this quite common out there in forum land?

Oh - feel free to take this off topic if you wish - I won't get upset...:D

A bit late I realise, but since being able to get online since 2000 I have always been aware that online courtesy was paramount & that criticising another person's spelling & grammar was considered a no no & was rude & discourteous. So is typing in Capitals.
I endeavor to stick with that on all boards I visit, so maybe that played a part in that board's decision?

FWIW.[bigsmile1]

Yes, back on topic! We can't have that. 😊

It was a long time ago because I can't even remember now which site that was. 😇 I have been kicked off 3 forums that I know of, but thankfully my sense of humour and mischief doesn't get me into too much trouble here. 😉

Now we need to get this back off topic...

'Children are our future! Unless we stop them now!' - Homer Simpson.

Right, that's better - carry on...

Which 'Carry on...'
There were a lot of them.

Up the Khyber.

There’s Billy,,,
