I liked the other mod who was a psychiatric nurse? (john Wrench?) What was his name? we did a social at wyreside years ago where quite a few of the mods came.
Stace? I remember he was a nice bloke.
What about the lad from South Africa? I used to enjoy answering his questions!

I started the "some things are really annoy me"... and "some things I really love" threads I think.
I am not sure if there were already the same ones on here in the non-carp stuff section.

Not sure who that would've been. I know there were some good anglers on there but I kept out of that sort of thing.
There was some good non fishing threads on there.
There was one called 'What Really Winds Me Up' and another 'What Really Cheers Me Up' which could do well on here.
However you could never get away with the one called 'Small or Trash' as it wasn't very PC 
Still it's gone but this one remains

Carpy Pat? was he the larger than life cockney wide boy mod? Loved his blingy tackle? or am I thinking of someone else?

Also remember Retro, Bream Boy (still in touch) Jon (with the kid in the coat avatar) also still in touch

It was quite anti CarpForum to be honest but I didn't join in that aspect as I've never had a problem with this forum which is and always been the best.
Yes, Moley and a few others did leave on bad terms, I can't remember being personally involved in the bother, I think back then there were often arguments between MODs (there were lots of MODs (and problems!) due to how busy the site was)
I'm very much of the opinion that people can go do what they like, as long as they're not lying about a situation/person and spreading it to try to gain favour/support.
That has happened in the past too (won't name him!) but he's left a trail of failed attempts at a few different businesses and I do enjoy watching from the side lines as he tries to promote his next bull**** venture with only a very small following of ring-piece-tongue-punchers commenting on his FB posts

I was part of Moley's forum.

I joined Facebook to be part of a Carpingabroad group but that was short lived. I've kept the account but don't do fishing on there
I've been a member of other forums but they've all gone now and so I'm please to see thanks to Karl Carpforum is still going strong.
I did bump into Brian Wolsey on FB but not to do with fishing. He lives in the Woolwich area of London and we spoke about Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and how we have both suffered.
That was about 5 years ago

Moley went off to start his own forum. I still message him very occasionally
CarpyPat passed away :( There was a post in the Mod area Jan 2023
Merl was cool, see the odd post from him on FB now and again
Beave is still fishing and he's in some WhatsApp groups with me/Muzza and others
Ken - I did message him a few years back when I heard he was ill but never got a reply, maybe I had the wrong mobile number. I do think of him often.
OldGeezer - Yes, was in WhatsApp groups with him too. We have him to thank for LinkyPoo...I added that functionality after he passed as a little tribute

Carpy Pat
Merl
Beave
