Welcome to the New Letters Page. Its a bit lonely in here just Chris Tutthill and myself. Many thanks to the 'young man at the coalface' Chris Tutthill for building this for me in fine style. Ah he's a star so he is and highly recommended. See details below in the grey ghost logo for Whyte Studio.
TerryQuis custodiet ipsos custodes? - 30 January 2012 20:17150400so not even 4 years yet, so that works out mathematically at rather a lot per year.
it seems to get busier month on month. - 30 January 2012 20:19150401Thats all the political posts with people just disagreeing with the sake of it
Been nice knowing you :) - 30 January 2012 20:21150404you must mean that we are a cobbled together forum paul.

- 31 January 2012 09:03150497So it was him behind Mitt Romney on telly the other evening! I thought so...........
- 31 January 2012 09:24150502Well I never !!
I never spotted that one Howard..150,000 posts! yikes
And Terry has reminded us there of the comment I made as we opened up. See the thread WELCOME on page 261 and we have all the regular guys still rock n rolling along today.
Remember though, and this is just for the newer guys. This is only the latest Forum..we had others, so the posts would have been 500,000 by now easily. We gave up 'open forums' previously as it had all become completely chaotic. Then when we did this new site we had a little open letters page instead which ambled along very well but got ever bigger day by day...unfortunately that was destroyed by malicious spammers who we kept at bay for as long as possible before it became impossible to keep them at bay.
We had the regular guys contributing to that letters page...guys you still see today. So rather than leave them high and dry and let them down, we built another new forum ( our ace Chris Tutthill did it ) with the intention of keeping it a small but productive clubhouse. And thats what you see today. It has grown a bit since!
or to put it another way..its small but huge in stature and impact.
Thats why we ask every member to do their bit of shovelling.
Thanks to all the guys who keep on going and keep on posting every day or nearly every day. Its all those contributions that make it what it is.

31 January 2012 14:13150564Errrrrrrrr what has #11 remotely to do with this thread
, or is it a landmark passed. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 31 January 2012 14:22150567There was also a short period when Dover Forum was "off air" that I put up Dour Forum to fill the gap. Was it really that long ago? Isn't time fun when you having flies!!!!Phil West
If at first you don't succeed, use a BIGGER hammer!! - 31 January 2012 14:26150568i have been trying to fathom that out too jan.

31 January 2012 14:44150573Exactly Howard, there is usually a link of some sort however remote.
Seven more posts from me and I will reach my own landmark of 4000 posts, my old man always said I talked too much.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I wondered that too but I suppose we have to be thankful he didn't put it on EVERY thread!!
Keith,
Yep you are right again - looking for recognition again I suppose
Phil.
Wow that seems like a lifetime ago - fun times though (say hello to your lovely wife for me) There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok". - 31 January 2012 16:11150587Yes post 11 is in an odd place. I expect Vic got the threads muxed ip !
email: dover7@msn.com - 31 January 2012 16:30150589What with our happy-clappy free for all spelling here, are you sure this is not a 'mill-stone', or a gall-stone we've passed?Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
