I've been hanging around here forever (well it feels like it!) I used to be addicted, but these days I go days at a time without reading it......
I quite agree. I've not been here as long as some. There's a distinct lack of action here now! The posts stay the same from one day to the next!
I really miss those Franch posts, redmone,, ponyiamnotfood and Delica and just trawling through some of those controversial posts!
I agree, very slow these days. I can remember all of the members that have been said, who remembers Armas? he had some very controversial posts but his horse was beautiful. I did like them bigger threads to read on a night, gave me quite a laugh sometimes. Also agree on the rugging front, it isn't that hard surely?!
There are some threads that are still fun. But as someone else has said, there are times when I just want to say "FFS, it's a horse, it won't dissolve in the rain!"
I do find it interesting that everyone seems to have a pet cure - no matter what the problem, you can tick them off; get the dentist, the vet, the chiro, the saddler, sack the farrier and feed micronized linseed.

Yep I always have too
I think with the changes and extra forum types we have lost the trolls

But it's def more grown up now!
well there's certainly no encouragement in working towards being an 'old nag'.
Personally I do think this is a silly interpretation, if some people take such a post to heart the so be it. Unfortunately over sensitivity on the part of admin and posters has had a part to play in good posters leaving this forum and it has become duller as a result. As I said above, I welcome new blood to the forum and would certainly welcome more posts and threads! But that does not stop me missing old members or wishing they had not felt the need to leaveThis sort of post, whilst with it's own wonderful integrity regarding old friends lost, stops newer people from posting at all. The inference is that only "old timers" have a place on this forum, and others will be tolerated only if they can be laughed at as "trolls" or "numpties".
Be careful here. Some "newbies" will have something intelligent to say, but will stop themselves due to this type of post. All of us started out somewhere
If anyone is friends with Redmone on Facebook I would be interested in friending her to see how DD and Harley are getting on, I often wonder how their show season has gone but I dont know her real name
I agree it's a much slower pace on here now, not helped I feel by the fact it's not easy to follow a thread, unless that's just my stupidity. I am sure previously we could follow threads we had posted on and see they had been updated. It means that questions go unanswered sometimes.
I think the repetition of themes and questions has always been rife along with people resurrecting years old threads. The forum has without doubt changed significantly.
