I remember back when there were only 5 forums.....
And when Danny et al wanted to create our own forum as we were too annoying in Rumours and News (RIP) whinging about Dick Smith, there was a mild ruckus. Some of us felt we were being pushed away, banished as were were 200 years ago.
Now we have three forums just for us! :eek:
How times change.
Thanks again Danny and your team of hard working elves.

I remember the days of one forum and less than 100 registered PPRuNers. At least in those days, Danny could go away for a few days without worrying about being sued!:D

Heh as a comment on the suing thing, I was reading another site today and a thread there bagging Pprune has an interesting stat that on here 94% of the legal action attempts come from Australians and DandG makes up only 15% of the site members. LoL indeed.

Yes, it's a sad indictment on us and our inability to conduct a discussion without recourse to slander, libel and abuse.
I don't know what it is about us, but we seem to have a unique ability to be blind to the real issues and instead take on the personalities behind them. Rather like our parliament, really, which is not a complement.

There is actually only a very small number of people who also seem to be height and brain challenged who need to resort to threats as a means of making a point they are unable to in normal discourse.

Nah, I won't go there......... :{
Tobzalp, now I know where to find you when you are not in PPRuNe! :} That "other site" is an interesting place - almost 50% of the posts are about PPRuNe, mostly critical.
It's a site we Moderators go for a little bit of fun and relaxation! Sadly, they locked the thread we were playing mind games in! :}
