Where Did Croppie Go?

[Crinkmeister]

Not been on the forum for quite a while. Has Croppie retired? Didn't see any comments from him on any of the threads I looked at.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

He moved on with a few others

Call it enforced retirement.

Step out of line enough and your account could be suspended, that is all I`m saying.
Same as any other forum really.

Is that first hand experience there?

 

[Best]

Pls expand...

Croppie (John) was a moderator of the old forum.
Although he could be strict against posts that were seeking advice on dangerous work, illegal gas, etc.
He along with some others added a lot humour here.
He left when forum was changed

Another forum.

 

[Welder]

me thinks...

Nobody left. They were ushered out. Some cracking screenshots of all the bull that went on.

 

[Welder]

Hey ho. **** happens.
Its very rare that people who start things together stay together. People grow in different ways and so do their opinions and needs.
Just look at all the great couples in computing! Even, dare I say, in the world of taps! THE John Guest of Guest & Chrimes, the guys in Rotherham who originally patented the high pressure tap in 1845, parted company soon after due to business disagreements. It aint new!

I missed the fallout at the time and wouldn’t mind viewing that.
I hadn’t been on the forum for a while and when I came back, - most of the guys had gone and it was the aftermath of the clear-out.

Alas that wasn't posted here mate, it would of been censored if it was, very interesting though.

 

[AMGasServices]

There was some great guys here and they had a lot of experience in the industry. Croppie, Masood and the other few.

All things considered I reckon we could of lost around 15 - 20 knowledgeable guy`s and the Friday/ Sunday night banter was at times something else. Miss Leo and his love of all things French!

 

[AMGasServices]

Does anyone know which forum they went to ?

I agree with you.

Yes, I totally understand.
I still would like to view the actual goings on.
I did get in contact with some of the guys later and they told me

With screenshots?

Also - App, Redsaw, etc.
Then a lot of members just decided to leave. Leo, Lame Plumber, etc.

With screenshots?

Yes. Why not?
It can’t be anything we shouldn’t see, or illegal.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

I miss apps drinks

You misunderstood me. did you see screenshots?
I don`t have them anymore.

I miss apps drinks

Call them drinks if you must but only in the most ......., well put it this way, he would of sitting at his own table!

I still laugh when I think of App and what he said in a thread about a new bathroom being ripped out.
The OP asked us to guess why a new suite was being replaced.
Eventually he posted to say the home owners were on holiday and their kids left a door open and a cow got into the house and got trapped in the bathroom, wrecking it.
App came in with the line,
“I once let a cow into my home. Cost me a fortune.”


App was also a big loss.
