I couldn't remember what email address I used for my old account (CanaryBoy) so couldn't reset password.

I couldn't help but notice that there is a lot of worry over at the Pink'un at the moment about the future of that site and its forum, I know there's been a long running joke about this being an empty forum etc, that when I created the site there were too many rules, and that a few people don't like Morty and it was perceived to be his forum.

But this could be the perfect opportunity for the owner of this site to introduce himself, make it very clear that he isn't the founder so the rulebook was torn up, remind them that he owns an excellent local Norfolk based business with a specialism in this software, and that Morty doesn't have to be the only mod!

What is the new owners username so I can ping him a PM or tag him?

Businesses have to make a profit.

Seems we are the topic of discussion over on the pinkun, so let me address some points raised, as I know some of them pop over for a read, which is nice.

I shall specifically address this weird concept that there is some kind of gestapo style moderation, which is simply untrue, from day one the intention was that this place wouldn't just be another pinkun mainly dominated by people having the same argument / grudge for 20 years.

Three occasions spring to mind where I have had to " moderate", and on each occasion it was someone from the pinkun who was just here to swing their balls about.

Till1010 was following Wiz, God rest his soul, from thread to thread basically bullying him. I told him to please stop it.

Lakey showed up, with his nose in the air, and rather than actually discuss anything football related, he moped around the place saying how awful it all was, and how repressed he was. I private messaged him and asked him to stop it.

And finally, my only ban is Waveney, and that is only when he became personally abusive.

So there we go, that hopefully adresses some of the nonsense, everyone has always been welcome here, just leave your pinkun grudges at the door.

Peace and love.

I used to moderate a film forum and that got a bit heated on occasion, but that was nothing compared to the abuse and bile that I see on various football forums. This is the only football forum I use these days and that's because there is none of that rubbish on here.

Happy Christmas :cool:

I did produce quite a long list of forum rules which was probably unnecessary, so my fault. However as I passed forum ownership many years ago onto somebody who has already successfully run a football forum, that is completely irrelevant now.

(I really am the chap who started this forum, and genuinely forgot what email address I used for my CanaryBoy account) :cool:

As I said on the Pinkun under the username JonnyJonnyRowe, there is a ready made forum here on really good software if Newsquest do the unthinkable and pull the plug, and many of them will already have accounts. It is likely an empty threat, although they do seem to be wielding the banhammer so there may be a few strays looking for a home.

ps. Really cool that I was alerted to your reply to this thread via email.

I get bored of the bullshit pushed around by some, I have literally banned one person in how many years I have been doing this? I have always maintained that everyone is welcome, but leave your pinkun grudge matches on the pinkun. The same old people having the same old argument, year after year, is beyond boring.

They wont bin the pinkun forum.

Morty. Even when you are thousands of miles away on the high seas, some people still think that you eat puppies.
