I remember being on there, used to be quite busy at times. Plus i was on the Yateley Angling forum back in the day when forums were big.
They started going quiet and shutting down when facebook started up can't remember what year that started but this forum used to be very popular in 2004 / 2005 that sort of time.
Maybe forums are over policed and too PC these days so less popular

I think they need to be. I used to go on another forum, which has gone now and I can see why, 3 or 4 exchanges and it was **** this and **** that, my dads bigger than yours, ****ing Neanderthal's rarley posted anything useful either, just pointless drivel. A lot of people just want to pull everybody down to big up their own ego's. I guess that why face ache is so popular, goes hand in hand with the modern scene for me,

Yes I was on it and really liked it until it started getting hacked. I would constantly get warnings about logging on. Real shame.
I got banned in the end. Probably for the best.
Actually technically my main account didn't get banned, but my alter egos definitely did, and they shared the same IP address

Not sure about over policed to be honest. I think too many people post using bad language and insults then wonder why they have been banned, whereas on the wheel of joy that is facebook there is no moderation, and it is more instant.
Forums don't update or upgrade fast enough, and the format is slow compared to FB.
However, I prefer the format of forums, this and another, are my mainstays.
I wouldn't subject my children to the language used on a building site or that of a docker, so I do like the moderation of forums.
Having been guilty of it myself though, I think some moderators are too quick with the red button without good cause, and then don't or won't back down when they are advised by other mods.
I do think though that sadly forums are a lot quieter than 10 years ago. There used to be a lot of almost continuous discussions and posts from ideas surfacing.

If breamboy is who I think it is then he's on a private Facebook group.
