So, yeah, I took a few years off while I forgot my login and now here I am! Anyone...?

Welcome back !

This site is rather quiet at the moment.

Welcome back. Too few girls on site these days. Only Katharine still in there pitching away. They've all decamped into a distaff huddle on their Facebook page.

Welcome back Ruthie, I remember you posting before.

Ruthie is far younger than me, she's a product of Horsham not Hertford!

Hello people! So do we all use Facebook now? This site used to be crazy busy!!

Erm I'm not very sure what being female has to do with it but that's certainly the gender I was born...

What's new? What did I miss?

Being female only has anything to do with it in as much as they've all decamped off this site. Apart from Katharine. Even Angela Woodford is heard from no more. Engaged in conjugal bliss with the Stoic boyfriend perhaps. There is actually a thread called "Where have all the ladies gone?" Is it that the tone of the site has become too raucous and laddish?

I don't think raucous and laddish is going to put me off. The tumbleweed might, however.

Unfortunately, it's social media that is slowiy killing off sites like this. Farcial Book, Twa**er et al.

The cool kids don’t join facebook and my generation is slowly drifting away from it too. Even instagram is levelling off.

Facebook certainly seems to have kept the masses quiet for a long time...

Cambridge Anal-ytica must be fuming.

I wouldn't exactly call the site quiet. Serial gropers are being banged up and their historic antics given an airing. Spoony is back and launching Barnes Wallis bouncing bombs, as someone put it. And Doctors Scuffil and Batterbee are frequently engaged in pedagogic pugilism. Something for everyone I guess.

Who or what is Spoony, dare I ask?

Welcome back Ruthie!

Yes the forum is a lot quieter than the days when oldies like me struggled to keep up with the prolific posting of you, Great Plum and others back in the day.

There is still a small but regular hardcore here though and, as Rockfreak said, the forum comes to life from time to time.

Hopefully you'll stick around. Young people and females are thin on the ground.
