purplecarrottop

freddy She was a female, lovely lady.

pauline. I remember she was in a wheelchair, lived in Adelaide and had a cat.

froot loop.

monman. John was his name, he used to do a lot of graphs.

the doom and gloom, end of the world poster who kept coming back sprouting the bible and telling us the end of the world was nigh.

I'm sure there were others but those are the ones I vaguely remember from quite a few years ago.

this is going back a few years now. I may have some names wrong.

Sadly - John passed away last year.

His son was kind enough to come in and advise us of his passing.

I told you I had the names wrong, it's been so long. Yeppers, Freddy Rooster.

Purple was the house sitter, originally from Qld I think. She also did a trip around Aussie and I remember her photos.

Shame doom and gloom guy is still around, I thought he would have given up on this place.

Ah, your presence just cheered me up again Helen.

I remember a thread once that mentioned old posters which I thought was fun to reminisce.

But it was removed fairly quickly.

If this thread vanishes so be it.

Just got to wondering.

This place is very quiet compared to what it used to be.

These threads often get removed it there are a lot of members mentioned who have been suspended.

I don't think this apples to anyone mentioned here.

Lots of posters missing - involuntarily

That's why the thread may disappear.

TRBAG has disappeared, along with so many others.

He is probably over in the middle east trying to convert Muslims to Christianity.

Many from the original Round Table community stayed on when the name was changed a few years ago.

The old boards were so much more interesting and free wheeling.

A lot of nutters offset with some really interesting posters.

Ebay didn't think some of us were PC enough....it took out so much of the interaction between posters.

Even more so when some nannie complained about a post which, in a lot of cases, was benign.

However, I do think it was right to ban those who personally attacked other posters instead of attacking the subject.

We now get only about 10% of the number of posters we used to have.

It's a shame.

I remember how fast threads would pop up and be added to.

Now you can look back at Page 1 and see threads that were last commented on a week or so ago.

Actually make that 2 weeks.

Yes, there were opposing camps on all the subjects.......posters had an opinion and shared them with 'enthusiasm'.

Everyone had an opinion.....and I looked forward to reading them.

Some of the threads had so manly responses daily.....for a week or longer. Sometimes into the early morning hours.

I remember that there were a lot of genuine friendships forged on the old boards too.

Just two of my favourites were Bacardi and Patkin..

Posters with personal problems could use the boards anonymously just to unload and would always get a responses from kind and compassionate members.

All this is missing now.

I enjoyed the nutters too....always interesting.

I think most posters will remember TRBAG (the really bad advice giver)......he was a hoot.

I do miss him and his outrageous attacks on ALL the other posters, including me.

Yes, those were the days.

Yes I know of at least 40 members that are still here but under different IDs.

Don't worry I won't reveal your true selves

Re: Whatever happened to?

bella_again — Thu, 15 Sep 2016 02:12:46 GMT

There are many more around than people think but most using different ID's. I am still one and the same, no one ever misses me LOL!
