Your hour is up !!!

[Barry98]

We were trying to be diplomatic and nice out of respect

 

[zeebeedee]

Isnt everything built off the back of a discussion though? Sometimes its good to have a different set of views and opinions thrown in the mix otherwise it just becomes a dictatorship.

 

[villa_tom]

A real shame. Bang goes my salmon fishing in Scotland!

It was the thought of you crossing the border and him having to deal with you face to face that made him leave

 

[markfxy]

come back guest123 we miss you already

 

[Rickster123]

I blame Steveb its always the quiet ones!

 

[AWheating]

colin, you will be missed.

 

[on31ll]

I don't see the need. We don't need bad feeling and negative vibes.

 

[Barry98]

The decision has been made and personally I don't wanna read what he's said I can see it all in the global heating on face book, unfortunately he started the post and has barred me so I can't reply.
Which says it all for me

 

[on31ll]

I already think theres a vibe ! The lads want to know whats gone on ! To nearly everyone its a shock and cane from out of the blue

and now that people dont want it talked about and mods seem to be shushing it ! Well closing threads etc before hand just seems odd ? If all this has happend in past where you guys waiting for us to say oh wheres system3 ?

 

[plumber0808]

I would like to know, Colin is obviously a very knowledgeable guy and was very helpful in the forum, it is just a forum to discuss and be open.

 

[Barry98]

Pm it to each other

 

[Mr Doberman]

Well ive spoke to colin and have heard his side am i allowed to paste it in here or os that gonna get me in trouble ?

I dont see the need. If you are ok with Colins words then thats fine but repeating them here is only going to cause a fuss. Surely there are plumbing matters that need hearing rather than tell taleing.
If anyone feels the need to know then I suggest they contact Colin direct, I would rather the mods and everyone else keep this civil. I have explained this has come about and its already starting to eat into my time.

But colins words aside how long was it gonna be before we were told ? Like i said just waiting for us all to ask ? Closed 3 threads for specualating just a) looks a bit guilty of somthing and b) is bull**** ! If we took all the specualtion out of this forum half the threads in the arms wouldnt exist ! For example i bet you hes an engineer ? ?

Personally any issues I had with Colin were between me and him. out of respect for the guy not being able to answer now I won't be airing those issues!

Rest assured though that there will be no changes in the way the UKPF is run, there's no secret police, spetnatz, reds in the bed or anything else that concerns you. No one needs to watch their backs.

Except villatom...

 

[on31ll]

Just all very very suspicious ! Never seen any threads handled like they have been before !

 

[Dotty]

Except Villa Tom.....

Because it's unprecedented, unexpected and clearly emotive. As said before it wasn't taken lightly nor with any joy.

I don't think anyone thinks that they need to watch their back or anything like that.

From my point of view and I'm sure its what others think, it would be better to know why or what he disagreed on.

Whats happened so far is an announcement has been made that says he's left and when people ask why they just get told "don't bother asking"

its only human nature to be nosey and want to know why, but in this case I think its mre than justified as he was a massive part of the forum and helped a lot of people and his knowledge can't ever be replaced really.

 

[on31ll]

Exactly ! If you guys wanted to get rid of sombody on the forum you could just do it and then make an announcement in a few weeks when sombody asks sa

 

[on31ll]

Sayin oh he left for personal reasons !

And still nobody will answer when we were going to be told !

 

[Barry98]

It said personal differences

 

[plumber0808]

Agree with VT here and on311.

It's left a sour taste in the forum in my opinion that someone who gives so much to the forum be erased just like that.

never seen that happen before and seems a bit over regulated to me.

 

[on31ll]

Think this changes the forum really ! No change in how ukpf is run well theres a mod/member gone that was a top poster and a help to forum ! He helped many with logos and business cards etc along with other stuff

 

[jase158]

I wonder hoe many will be leaving in next few days???

 

[Dotty]

We won't be stopping anyone!

 

[on31ll]

We won't be stopping anyone!

This forum has changed ! Your not even arsed that a forum member has said people may walk from the forum ! Your basically holding the door open !

 

[on31ll]

This cant just be swept under carpet or forgotton about ! Its kinda serious and theres people shocked and concerned with the forum !

 

[villa_tom]

I don't think its that mate, honestly I don't.

Whats he meant to do? He's not going to beg someone to stay is he?

 

[villa_tom]

Id agree with you in this

 

[Barry98]

No one is forcing anyone to log in and enjoy the forum , if you don't like what's happened then that is your issue not ours , we dont want anyone to leave but understand some of you are close to Colin but AGAIN you don't see what has been happening off the open forum that doesn't concern you

 

[on31ll]

I don't think its that mate, honestly I don't.

Whats he meant to do? He's not going to beg someone to stay is he?

Answer peoples questions ? State reasons ? People want to know ! Last time yoube seen 3 threads closed about one subject ? 1 thread about where system is ! One joking about where system is then third about the threads being closed !

Last time you seen dan close a thread ?

 

[Dotty]

And then they'll get over it and move on with their lives!

As I said, I want people to stay but if they want to leave, if they feel this is no longer the place for them, then yes, I will hold the door open for them, wish them well and wave goodbye.

 

[Dannypipe]

What a shame that its come to this. I don't know the full story, but personally I liked Colin and appreciated his knowledge and input. Seems very drastic to ban a MOD like this. I know from reading the FB page that he certainly feels victimised by it. Which isn't nice to read at all.
