Well I hope it 'takes off' (arf, arf,) as a light blue version of the Army's ARRSE site.

Perhaps it appears a little 'elitist' to the people who do the donkey-work?

RAF Rumour Network

16 B,

Agreed, but it's great fun baiting them isn't it?

As long as this one doesn't go the same way, then I'm all for it but I get the feeling it will, in the same way that the MIL AIRCREW forum here has.......

Speaking of baiting, I notice someone (The Pugman) has announced they've placed a link to e-Goat on the now-infamous RAFMOVS.COM......

Well, that didn't last long! Should we be worried for whoever started it up?

Wasn't me.
Pity though, the site showed some promise, in a 'ATC v RAFP v RAF Regt v Movers' sort of way. Let's hope it is resurrected soon.

I particularly wanted to follow the RAFP Handler v RAFP Hound section. Brilliant stuff.

Unhappy

A real shame its offline.
I reckon all the ARRSE infiltraitors (and there were a few !) might have something to do with its premature end. No doubt they will all be rejoicing on their site that they shut it down.

Unlikely, MM, since most Arrsers actually thought the site to be well-intentioned and unpretentious; just like Arrse in fact.

We wished them well, and I'm sure (genuinely) we all hope that they return soon.

diginagain,

There's no doubt in my mind that there is plenty of room for broad-based forums such as PPRuNe, Arrse, and the newcomer. Inter-service banter is great for morale and entertainment, but, as you say, the Night of the Long Knives was just a little OTT.
Although they clearly feel the need for their own forum, it was akin to waving a red rag to a bull for many on Arrse, who've a very poor opinion of TG18, justified or not.

Hurry back, e-Goat.

Got to agree with diginagain. The general consensus on arrse was positive towards the RAF rumour site.

We were even discussing exchange visits and crab- to-pongo games nights with E-Goat.

The few idiots who went across to just pointlessly gob off wouldn't possess the nowse to hack their thumbs off let alone a website.

I hope it gets back up and running again soon as I think it has a lot of potential.

The mil forum here is just that, one forum and doesn’t really have the structure or format for an entire RAF.

C’mon, give us a clue when you'll be back RAF Rumour site. I can’t bear to go back onto that grotty little movers site.

Oi, don't lump us all in together. Movers are just the discarded rejects of TG18 who can't count.

Point taken THS.

It was a sweeping generalisation, and I stand corrected.

Please accept my humble apologies, and my thanks for increasing my knowledge-base.
