Maybe more mods are required, although I doubt its high on norbos priorities currently.

Dont want to tell norbo or the mods their jobs but it would make sense to have mods who are on the forum daily going forwards. Ive not seen Dave or Paul post for a very long time, which is a shame in itself. And Mellow is pretty occasional these days and as we know norbo is offline right now. Leaves us (its 'our' community even if the real estate belongs to Norbo) exposed. As Nigel says this is what has kills forums in the past, they need to be kept clean or the users wander off. If we had 100 junk posts added in every thread all of a sudden that would be the end etc. Easy to do with bots and so far weve only seen small tests.

Haven't translated them, but they possibly have more substance than some of the 'posting on every post, just to say something' comments!.😉

Who wants to be a mod? Generally it’s long term members who then can no longer interact on the forum in the same way. You have to be impartial and be able to set yourself back from the day to day fun. Do you want to make someone a mod because they want it? I’ve been on forums where the mods have been over cautious or on one where completely the wrong person became one and was power mad. Then you have decent guys doing it. Look at Dave massively active member Bessie mates with norbs hardly ever posts anymore. I know he’ll have other things going on but. Then there is the drift Away of well known members because they get pissed off with certain new posters and see the forum change and not for the better. At the moment there is a sense of self regulation on here and maybe older members helping to regulate newer members but for how long? Then the spam threads need hitting on but no one does and those that do care can’t. We are in a unique set of circumstances with norbs not able to do anything at present hopefully he’ll get it sorted.

I copied one of the posts which led to a site in French, so translated that site and from what I can tell it's about a football game to raise funds in the fight for cancer cure
Haven't done them all though
