M.I.A.
So go on then. Where are they all? A thread to discuss the frequent posters who disappear temporarily or permanently. We know some are banned/ choose not to post but some just stop.
So what are the last known whereabouts of:
LLS/ Gertie/ SOTWA
Feel free to add and, if you know, explain.

Re: M.I.A.

Believe me, hardly anyone regular has been banned for a fair old while. Posters like WtW, Crayons, Gertie and too many others, sadly, just don't post anymore. In some cases people move on with families, life etc and don't have the time, some join other sites. We still have a very sizeable membership but too few regular posters. Nobody gets banned except for a very good reason and Hoss, Zulu and myself always discuss warnings and bannings before action and put notice on the Site Development and Feedback thread. This is a football fan site and we don't treat it like Junior school. Bannings are nearly always confined to wums and trolls from other sites just intent on shxt stirring. It would be just great if everybody came back in time for the new season.
P.S. I have made several attempts to get in touch with L.L.S without success. Hope he comes back.

TD 2 things:
1. Can this be moved to general banter?
2. This is just a light-hearted attempt to generate debate around why people don't post anymore and yes, partially to flush out the likes of LLS, the cantankerous old sod!

Re: M.I.A.
Gertie moved from Lostock up Chorley way when she acquired two beautiful daughters. She stopped going to Middlebrook and stopped posting here. Just too busy. Spotty had some pretty serious health issues - hope he is okay.Gary the Enfield wrote:So go on then. Where are they all?

Re: M.I.A.
I got the BB emails as I was still a member though hadn't been there for ten years. I wonder if the MIA's and site closings are simply a consequence of poor play on the field. In retrospect Megson doesn't look that bad.Harry Genshaw wrote:I see Bolton Banter closed down last week. It had been dying on its ar5e for ages but still sad nonetheless

Re: M.I.A.
I've still got the last three pms in my outbox. Sadly, L.L.S is either ill or doesn't wish to post. I don't have his e-mail. Shame.

I miss Spotty. He was the only chess bloke here I could actually give a game.

He was and doubtlessly still is a racist feck* who actually somehow managed to see at least one of this site's finest contributors away before self combustion, the odious nice person.

I just had him on "ignore" so missed much of his later rants.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
