Zesty, I did ask you a question in the General Cleaning section 2 days ago - no reply as yet!

On a serious note, it's easy to put down the forum and those who have been around a long time.  I know it can get heated at times but lets focus on the positives.

There is a wealth of help and experience at your fingertips.  I doubt many of us would be where we are today if it wasn't for this forum.

There may be a few on here that are all take on no give of late, which is why things seem a bit slower.

Be positive.

I cant remember it ever being "alive"

its always been slow with a limited number of posters. maybe a decade ago it wasnt i dont know wasnt on here then

[chopsie]

Yes it's dying. Around 2009/10 when I first joined it was a really helpful community, now it's just bitching and slagging off, most of the decent lads who were really helpful have left or do not post anymore.

If you want activity go over to the General Chat section.

When I say activity I mean drivel.

It's been said many many a times how there are more reading and viewing rather than participating and they don't participate for reasons already been posted.
It's OK saying have a thick skin and if not your not fit to run business because you need it to do so.  What a load of ollocks!  This is meant to be a forum with like minded individuals all in the same trade, all be it at different levels.

However, it does help if ones (haha even myself) are not quick to take offense, as often things are / or can be seen in jest rather than the perceived picked on syndrome

I don’t know as I’m quite new but I will say I think these forums are awesome, I’ve learnt so much on here and I also think it’s a good laugh.

[Smudger]

they are always quieter in good weather as more are out working or with family.

but new blood is required as for many the forum has run its course and is no longer of use to them - you can only comment on the latest Gardiner brush so many times.....

people come, some end up thinking its their personal platform - can't take/see an alternative view - even when that view is expressed by most people - then leave in a huff rather than be the bigger person, take things on board or do the unthinkable and admit they got it wrong !

don't worry - Daz will be back soon to let everyone know he's had the best week ever - nothing cleans better than his hot water system and his heated seat in the van is still working 
all will be right in the world again!

The only criticism I have for this forum is that it's not a closed private forum and open to all and sundry to read posts but unable to interact until you join.

You only have to look at the stats and at this time there are 28 people active at the moment and over 300 guests.

Surley to be able to benifit from this forum they should all have to become a member.  This way we might get more two way traffic coming through.

[Ooooooog]

The other forum seems busy though.

Yeah I fully agree with this. I think you should have to register to read the forums.

No, it's great for banter, information, morale-boosting. Let's face it we work in an industry that's hardly rocket science so we all need some intellectual stimulation now and then. Let's continue to  spur each other on FFS!

Yeah I suppose this forum has a reputation. The ‘other’ forum is much ‘busier’.

Without Nathan, I’d be gone, he is my source of entertainment on here.
