Time to say goodbye

[JohnnyO]

Take care Robster and have a goodly retirement.
Got to say any lack of " witty banter " in my posts is down to a lack wittiness rather than moderation. In fact, I sometimes think I get away with murder, thanks guys.

Forums are about give and take. You my not like everyone's views or agree with them but you have to learn that just because it isn't your taste it doesn't mean it is wrong to post it. Forums are fluid in nature like life and when one leaves another takes his place.

This is sad.
I've been away a while and not long come back on, but Rob is one of the bigger celebrities on here, for me.
I've no idea what's gone on, but I know the forums will be a poorer place for him not being part of them.

I think the only reason this thread is still going is because the powers-that-be haven't gotten out of bed yet.

I'm relatively new to this forum, probably 2 months so I don't know the OP, however, it's sad to see anybody leave, with the exception of nasty members which I'm glad to say I haven't seen a single one here.

I participate in other forums, same idea but about cycling so much bigger membership. There's something a bit special about the members of this forum but also the rules are much more strick.

I've seen in the cycling community what happens to a forum when members have enough of too strick rules.......

Sorry to hear this Rob, your advice and knowledge has alwys been sound for me. I hope you reconsider as you will be missed.

I think you've been here longer than I - certainly won't be the same without you.

 

[Gordy]

Really sorry to see you go Rob, this forum really is all the poorer without your input. Thank you personally for all the information I have gleaned from you over the past three years.

 

[nick_s]

Sorry to see you go Rob, your posts have bought much help to many, including myself.

I've noticed a dip in 'banter' since the membership has become more ... er, diverse.

Victims of our own success, I suppose.

Hope you stay around fella as you're one of the few people who 'get it'.

The forum will be poorer without your knowledge and advice. Hope this is just a temporary hiatus.

 

[dodgy]

The hell happened here? Man, I'm gone for one day and this comes up.

There's a bunch of stuff I must be missing, with some of it obviously not so hot. Probably a case of who did what to whom, and why.

Rob, do what Toots does when she gets emotional.....take some deep cleansing breaths. Then come back and type more crap. There's a small twisted group of people who would miss you, with me being one.

Rob,
+1 all of the above, the forum will be the poorer without you.

I don't know what triggered your decision, a single action or perhaps dissatisfaction with forum direction, but I hope you take time to reconsider, or return after a period of r & r.

Regards,
Chris

Farewell Straight guy, your contribution will be missed, and yes I also noticed what you mean ever since the moderators numbers gone up. I suppose it's just life and we can't make everyone happy all the time.

I'm a newbie, joined this year.
I can't see the increase in moderation, it's all I know.
What I do know is the honest, upfront advice from the longer term membership
has been invaluable (& I enjoy the humour), it would certainly be a loss for you to go.

Perhaps, take a sabbatical.

Best news I've had all day...




stick around just to piss me off.
