Over the years on this forum there have been some regular and good posters who have just suddenly disappeared without a trace. Sad really, you felt you had got to know them.

Some re-invent themselves i'm sure Discount is still here - it's part of the fun trying to spot them. Some are really easy.  ;D

many have issues with the way the forum is run and moderated, and joined proper forums which allow full debate, and discussion on everything including the choice of suppliers, equipments etc.

Maybe it also has to do with how negative this forum is portrayed and how its members are (the minority in most cases to be fair) - you dont get the elsewhere.

just my observations...

this is actually my second account..

There is still some good advice given on here, but for advise with equipment or suppliers you can not get this here.. I either use naths forum or Kev R's.

Telboy, thats a pretty unfair comment, From what i can recall you usually come on there to stir things up and leave. Now if thats what you join a forum to do i think it best you stay here.
A lot of the so called up themselves posters come on here too, advice is advice at the end of the day, if you haven't got something constructive to say don't say it.

I resent that remark

I was refering to a thread on Cleaning pros when Mark Stock posted they were the elite

And slagged off this forum
And a few others on there agreed with him
and were patting themselves on the back
Dont call me a trouble maker

And this is very constructive you muppet

Oh i see, name calling etc is acceptable behaviour, i get the picture.
I come on here to give and receive advise on matters i either know or don't know about, i do not resort to calling people muppets. If you have issues with people off other forums please do not brand all people from that forum as being " Up themselves" I am no better/ no worse than another person, you don't know me, i don't know you.
I have nothing more to say on the matter !!

What has happened to shiner, discount and from today jaykie?
Have i missed something? They are no longer registered.

Well there are other reasons. To be addicted to the forum is a huge waste ot time, and to have hardly anyone take your brilliant advice gaulling. Mostly for me the problem was my big mouth, i handed out info and wished i hadn't.

I have to admitt that with the credit crunch i am running a bit scared and resent the newbies, and resent the info, the earnings pointers, and all the other stuff that lowers our barriers to entry- as if we didn't already have just about the lowest of any business.Long term this bad weather may be doing us all a huge  deterrent favour.

As for the idiots, the pointless arguments, and the negative posts, i now favour them.Anything that puts people off works for me.

when a forum gets over moderated it loses its appeal and just dies as everyone loves to get involved in pointless arguments and prat about

we have to be professional at work we want a giggle outside work

So why are they deleting there accounts or is there a zero tolerence policy and people are being banned?

I read a few posts about advertising and the need to pay for it. Which i can understand, but if there's no info about the fact that you have to pay and how much it is, then members are going to do it if they've not been told otherwise. Maybe Mike should have a rethink and publish prices ?

I wasn't on here for ages and i noticed when i came back a few people had disappeared or weren't posting as much.

 A few years ago when i first joined it was really busy on here. It just seems to be getting quieter and quieter

I dont think it has much to do with the moderators, they seem to get it right most of the time. I do agree that there is a need to police advertising on a busy forum otherwise every second thread would have someone popping up saying "best window cleaning van available from...." etc and that would really spoil the discussions.

Like all conversations we should pick the ones that interest us and ignore the ones that don't and dont be forcing your opinions on people and the forum will be just fine.

Instead of deleting your accounts maybe a week off here and there would calm a few people down, this site does seem to get a bit more agro than the others don't know why that is except that many on here can come across different on other forums.

Pros is a good site.
It is like going to the library to read up on info rather than getting it from the playground.
They are all on here anyway. Just that not everyone on here is on there. Which is quite a good thing really.
