How does everyone know that people have left the forum. Have they done a goodbye post.

You can tell by their accounts are no longer there - name changed to user etc - Some were also at H4H and meets etc over the last year

Usually more of a petulant flounce somewhere or other. :LOL:

I just don't get the continual harping on about leavers.
Agreed. If somebody decides the forum isn't for them anymore then they're better off out of it. No skin off our noses.

I find it a bit weird that they're bothered enough by goings on to leave and that some of those left behind seem to bemoan their passing as if it's a reflection on how awful the forum is! If you don't like it then don't frequent the place...not too tricky imho!

I used to be on a car fourm where people would have fabulous flouncing leaving posts. Often made even funnier when something cropped up that kept them posting for a little while longer and so merited an additional flounce when they left a second time. I always picture people making those posts as old school theatre actors, hamming it up massively :ROFLMAO:

Back to irritations. I sent some paint to Norway a week or two ago. It has arrived and the customer is demanding replacements as it arrived frozen. Just let it thaw in a corner of a room somewhere :rolleyes:

Yes! Are we never worth a mention?

Forums are all the same - users come and go and the forum moves forward

What we have seen though over the last couple of years is the number of forum members who have left are those that supported the meets , hosted multiple members and for some organised the big meets for us all

That’s a big part of the forum that’s gone missing for me - the chat and discussion will always be there regardless of who is around , it’s just a shame imo that the forum has lost that little area of playing golf with other forum members and meeting new ones.

Many of those guys are arranging games and trips away from the forum and for me that’s a shame but it is what it is and the forum will continue on

Some of us that are still here supported the meets as well and hosted other forum members. The Southern ones are too far for us to travel unless it's for a few courses over a few days. Expensive hobby when there are two of you playing in them as well.

Anyway, for flouncy Goodbye posts we lock them as soon as we see them where I Mod as posters usually expect lots of "ooh don't go comments"

Anyway, hello to all those who have stopped posting but still lurk - waves
