DO THE REAL WINDOW CLEANERS COME AND GO ALSO.
« on: February 06, 2008, 11:03:46 pm »
Since i first started , around 16 months ago..... this site was full of people giving me good advice as a newbie..... i got used to the familiar names and posts replies....

now, there areonly one or two people left who still pass that advice on ,from the crew of 16 months ago...

where are they? have they jacked in?

can they remember me posting all my new starter questions if they still read the posts...

no disrespect to anyone who gives advice at all .. its brilliant....

but its really strange how they all helped now they not here.

I remember all your posts ;D

over the past couple of years ive seen many window cleaners come and go on this forum some get fed up some get bullied off, some get their life back or just get their advice and move on but there are many other forums.

some of the originals are the shiner, ian giles,  tosh, roy harding,  john garnet , squeeky, pj, paul griffin

so the answer to your question is yes they come and go but not only on this forum in window cleaning in general.

I think a lot of people on here use it as their personal blogspot or simply to brag about their income, the same ones MUST have an opinion on everything and dont have the modesty to realise that it is simply an opinion.
Most users who have a life will very quickly get fed up of the sledging and winding up that happens.

This site was not designed as a social club!

Hi Gary

I'm still here....Now in my twenty second year w/c so I guess that makes me a "real" window cleaner!

Can't tell everything from the typed words on this forum, but I remember you.  Very honest, polite and earnest.  Good qualities in my book so I was glad to contribute.  Nice to get a mention.

This has been and still is a useful place to exchange experience & knowledge.  I have learned and shared, but a lot of inexperienced egos on here too these days.  A lot of guys on here are just taking and not giving, just making out they know everything after 6 months.   Idiots ;D  You can tell them a mile off.

Anyway, nice of you to include me, I'm happy still learning and sharing.... when I think it's worth it.

I wish you well ;)

Pj

I think most are still about and still come on here but don't post as much myself included recently as its all been said before.

I have not been on nearly as much as i used to.

But i still have been looking in and sitting in the background.

The general decline of the forum seems to be quite a popular subject lately!!!

I agree,.. even in the short time (a bit over a year I think) I've been a member, I've notice the change,... BUT it is still a very valuable resource, and there are some very helpful ppl here.
I have my own forum (You're prob a member already, so I won't upset admin here by posting a link!),.. but I still come on here,.... as well as 9 other cleaning forums. Each of these forums has its unique points, and unique members,.. I just try to take the best info from each of them and ignore any of the bitchyness that sometimes erupts.

I did prefer when this forum was a bit more sensible though.  :'(

Work is overrated!!!  ;D ;D ;D

I don't spend much time on each of them,.. but I do find myself watching less and less tv in favour of the forums in the evening!!!
What I've learned has saved me £1000's and made my job soooooo much easier,.. its worth investing a little time in forum life!

It was only sensible for a brief period; about two weeks; when an Ex Mod, Philip Hanson (and the Editor of the PWC Mag (if that's still alive)) got all Bolshy-Hitler-like and 'modded' every post possible.  He was definately out to impress someone.

Otherwise it's always been a bit daft; posts always start off on-topic, but end up off-topic.

It's a bit like a real conversation I guess.

Anyway, have you seen those new squeegies?

Does the place simply just need MORE MODS?????

I've said it before,.. its just too much for such a small staff to manage IMO!

Hi PJ
