I'll poke my head above the parapet.
Yep, there is a private forum - which was a precursor (of sorts) for the current QPR forum. Pretty much a safe haven for those regular posters pissed off with the constant childish bollocks of the clique. And yep, it may be construed as cliquey on our part, and childish. And yes, I partook in a large dose of slagging off. And now that there's a forum can post without being inundated with piles of shite by the clique, the forum is no longer used by anyone.
But you know what? Don't care if it pisses certain people off that there was an extra forum. Some of the abuse posted posted over at Ben's org on this topic is quite frankly.... sad and pathetic to hear from grown men. And it doesn't paint you in the best of light either.
It all boils down to this. If you don't like a) this board, b) the mods or c) DG, please don't bother posting here. This is not a Stalinist state. This is not a quasi-Stasi dictatorship. We are not Nazi mods. This is a QPR message board, where there are a few ground rules. If those are broken, we act. Nothing more.
If you're not happy with that, please find somewhere else to post. _________________ www.arilyfaith.com

Fair enough Virginia R. Thanks for that, at least we know where we stand. Those of us not invited are childish and post sh1t and bollocks.
Seriously, I MOD on a few Ebay groups and it is a tough job and responsibility at times. At the end of the day this is DG's forum and he can do with it as he please's and at the least the MODS should have a safe haven to escape to. |

But it's not just for mods Rich.
Btw, haven't made up my mind whether to go or not tomorrow. Being such a fairweather supporter these days it depends on how cold it is  |

Well, it's not really for anyone any more, Tracy, as it hasn't really been used apart from one or two weeks back in December, around the time of the forum rejig. But if you really want an invite, I'm sure DG will oblige.  _________________ www.arilyfaith.com

Yes I know it's not just for MODS, MODS and their pals and I have no problem with that. Honestly until you have been a MOD on a forum like this you don't know how tough it can be and a forum like this does need moderating.
As a MOD you have to weigh up freedom of speech against b0ll0cks, deal with folk who have hidden agendas, just want to disrupt and all such rubbish. The MODS need a place to blow off steam and to discuss forum policy and development. So the secret forum is not about cliques but around to keep the forum ticking over sensibly.
But what do I know, I just spout sh1t and b0ll0cks.
I cannot say anything about tomorrow night after my rallying call below.  |

secret forum - not talking about a magazine stash here are we? Shame I thought I might have had something to contribute. _________________ I'd buy you a drink but I'm meeting pockets of resistance |
