Hi guys Admins - Please delete if you find this unsuitable - I am just trying to find something to talk about I have resisted making any comments for a long while now but your site really does need an overhaul. One thing that peeves me is all the hidden links to advertising screens and the fear that I may download a virus or spam or remote installer or something. (Click on the items in your download graph). These should definitely be removed. I don't think that is the only reason things have gone quiet, may well be as was previously stated - that its the weather. Another minor: I for one find the colour scheme and the small fonts extremely difficult to read. Times Roman and any other serifed font is always difficult at smaller font sizes. I do sympathise with you - it is a very very difficult task to keep the conversation going and there have been a few contra temps lately (I seem to cause a few). Being in the UK I also get very confused with the dates on here. Is there a setting somewhere to change the date layout for each user? I think the "Occasion already passed!" message at the top is also derisory - like washing your dirty linen in public - best that that is left blank when there is nothing to say. The big logo at the top means that I have to scroll down to see any posts and that's a tiny annoyance that could be improved. These are my very personal annoyances and I am probably the only one that finds these annoying so just ignore me if that's the case. How about a LB Vs VF Vs SR challenge match some day Hmm maybe this would split the community.. OK how about we take UGOs guys and gals on? Peace Ray at VFISH PS We have had very very very very few posts on our forum so you are definitely not alone. I also believe there are posts on Lavaboys forums regarding lack of posts as well.

All good point,s but with no show from any admin not alot will be done or the post even looked at. I am a humble poster who maybe thinks up a comp or 2 . I seem to be the only one left here now i think the forum has passed over personally but who knows one day it may return.. That depends on admin i suppose
Reguards Marty ;D

Very big shame that such a vivacious forum should be left to fester I did notice that all forums have reverted back to being moderated by James. I also note that about 99.9999999999999% of posts are by you Marty

Hello folks, I am still alive and probably the main reason I haven't been on the forum is thanks to FS2 and you lot, I've started fishing and with a grim commitment that is frankly worrying and fills most of my spare hours. That must be a testament to the fine forum this was not too long ago and respect to PYE for his undertaking of the site in the first place to keep it going, hope things get better soon mate.
I also think that this site needs to get rid of the log-in to read the posts, this I reckon stops a lot of potential traffic and forum users. I don't know if there was a reason for the introduction of the log-in?
Good luck simmersrest, hope James is fine and thanx for all the help! Beany
