Title: They have jumped ship !!!
Post by: samson on August 04, 2015, 04:24:43 pm
Got it from a good source that quite a few of the big hitters from the general cleaning section have jumped ship and started their own forum   :o

It is invitation only, and it operates a bit similar to the fremasons, but with a  weirder initiation ceremony . . . . . ." Are you dealing squarely with me "  ;D

Forums come and go all the time!  I personally have discouraged people asking questions on here to try and stop the back biting.  Most people now just e mail direct if they have a problem.  There are also 100's of lurkers who glean info but never post!  A good forum is hard to run and sponsor.  Loads have tried, some succeed, most don't, they have a following for a short time and then run out of steam but, they take a lot of dedication and time and you need a good set of impartial mods.

I think it is a real shame, as some of the ex members gave some excellent advice, and I really used to enjoy some of the humorous exchanges between them  :'(

Nope and if I was I would probably not do it.  I am too busy writing blogs for my own website as we are going to have our own mini forum but it means the public will be able to access it

The thing is guys, those that jumped ship obviously thought they were to good to pass on any good info and they will be replaced by the next set of up and coming guys.
Yes it's always good to have say Jim post who has been around 40 years and aware of what chemicals to use or what machines have developed but we have Ben to help us out with the machines, Kev seems to know which chemicals are required ( and tadgh jumps in boards sometimes ) Carl is guna take us in a day out down the drains and Chris is good to know ( even tho he hasn't yet told me what he used to remove them stains off that glass roof, but am sure he will  ;D.......  And he needs to pop down to lime st 🚋🚋 as this job I told him of is more than what I first thought )

Some people come like it and stay, and some people don't and leave.

Brilliant gig in a bike shop but the song was obviously written before that merchant got caught wearing a orange bra spending our expenses on a snort  ;D
