Come back Abbey - you love it!
Well make sure amo doesn't reappear...then the rest might is my guessA little on the same subject amo too has now gone and his account deleted. Before he left he must have thrown a hissy fit again as he appears prone to and has trashed or deleted a number of items. Seems the Politics thread has been deleted, one on ask admin plus at least one member (ODB who he childishly renamed John Doe) and maybe a number of others.
I may explain later (I will if anyone can be bothered to even want to know) but in the meantime if anyone can read this but has had their account deleted and want to be reinstated then then best way I believe is just to re-apply for membership.
Busy now and got to go... more later perhaps.
Nothing spooky, Gord. Just fat fingers on a keyboard!Interesting misspell there dave. Spooky even. In amo's last (rather bitter) pm to me and cos I'd just likened him to Hitler on the Politics thread he wrote " I don't want any affiliation with a site as kiked as this one." Suffice to say I had to look kiked up in that on line urban dictionary. Still doesn't make much sense though.
It's a case of que sera sera tbh Simon. See my signature.Not sure if you're aware Gord but there was a privately agreed mass exodus following Amo's recent comments.
It might be worth messaging all members (or at least all prominent members) that he's left the site as I'm sure they'll want to return.
Don’t come the hard done too Gordon, we had many communications re amo, even when starting the forum. I would like to know how I abused you pal, you’re big enough to bat off any criticism. I see you had a little dig about football knowledge, very shallow for an educated man. As for Shaun and I trying to poach members as you suggested in PM’s to amo well that is just nonsense and can easily be verified. Shaun and I repeatedly voiced our concerns over amo and we could not get a collective decision, your main concern being technically exposed over running the forum, which amo played you like a fiddle on. We purposely did not make public comments about the situation after leaving and then one of us started receiving PM’s between the remaining admin (you all obviously did not read who was on the distribution list) Absolutely hilarious some of the suggestions being made without any substance, with Shaun and I holding our council until amo caused the next problem and right on cue he duly obliged. If you and Alan had listened earlier it could have all have been avoided. I know why amo has finally done a runner one hour before it all caught up with him, in the nick of time you could say. It takes a big man to stand up to people but an even bigger one to admit when in the wrongIt's a case of que sera sera tbh Simon. See my signature.
I'm sure most will be aware of the situation albeit from one side of the fence only as I've chosen not to air the dirty washing in public. I have been made aware that members have been contacted by yoda and abbey, both had their admin status removed by amo BUT at their own repeated request. However neither are banned nor prohibited from posting on here (or using the PM facility for their own purposes) but it's obvious that both will have an axe to grind with Al and myself who attempted to remain central / neutral in that infantile issue of the 'fat bird'.
Truth is that I've attempted to take a middle of the road stance in all the behind the scenes fall outs in the hope that people would eventually see sense but the ongoing shenanigins would have tried the patience of a saint. Al and I both being subject to abuse from yoda effectively imo for not taking sides.
I'm of the opinion that people will go where they want and that's that. This site was to be a user friendly alternative to the vipers nest that BRFCS had turned in to but it's almost become as bad albeit this time it's all been behind the scenes. A pathetic storm in a teacup has now evolved into a major issue. Of the main protagonists Amo has proven unstable and prone to fits of pique with an opinion on Judaism that is not shared by anyone else on here and he's gone for good. Yoda seems to know and care little about football and more about politics whilst Abbey is a happy bunny just so long as everybody agrees with his entrenched opinions on his pet hates i.e. the venkys, BEB, Allardyce etc plus any who dare to disagree or even choose to support other clubs in the Champions League get sworn at in CAPITALS.
My intention has been for this site to be a little more cerebral than the old BRFCS and attract members on that basis and to a certain extent I believe it has. Unfortunately certain issues are now threatening it's existence. Odd really because most of the gang of five have never even met face to face. How weird is that?
As for me members can take it or leave it. It's not easy now that the others have left (and very time consuming) so if I have to pull the plug because of lack of interest then I will and if so it will be in the fairly near future. It will be a shame for our community but that's life isn't it?

No arguments from me Pink.Amo has a lot to answer !!! But has fucked off ....
Let's all agree amo is a massive bellend!!!!!
Only if you realise that its a fucking discussion on a "fun" "banter" message board!! It appears to be life or death to somePerhaps we all need to get a little bit of humility.
None of us are perfect (except in our own minds) and perhaps we should give each other a little bit of slack.
Is it possible?
