I thought the safest way to keep your gold was under lock and key,
maybe that's why its been locked away. laugh.gif

Seriously though, I don't have any of the shiny yellow stuff, but I always read the gold thread.
I think it should be on the main forum along with the other "Important Topics"

Oh yes it would. biggrin.gif

TBH when Webmaster created the new Metal`s Forum and moved the Gold thread there I totally agreed with it.

What happened next at that time a minority of posters on that thread spit their dummies out gave out all sorts of threats, in good faith The_Oldie with a possible risk of Webmaster`s annoyance biggrin.gif moved it back to placate them. From this point on these same posters believed they had control and their power now established.

From mid 2006 up to the time I relinquished my Moderator`s duties The_Oldie and I alone fought continuously to prevent the forum being trashed, and without blowing our own trumpets I can assure you without our diligence there would not be a forum as successful as it is today. Maybe in some cases we got it wrong and in some instances may have wrongly moderated but IMO in the majority of moderating decisions we hope we got it right.

The new Moderators are doing a great job and learning very quickly how to moderate a very controversial forum.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my partnership with The_Oldie on this Forum the past two and a half years and the attacks against him are totally unacceptable to me.

The_Oldie old mate you are da man. biggrin.gif

I believe you have lost the plot, what next MI5 raiding Fubra`s Offices, Webmaster and the Moderators imprisoned in the Tower of London or flown off to Guantanamo Bay, the mind boggles.

Ah, the fantasies of youth. rolleyes.gif

No, rendition and water boarding. They will want to know where we have all hidden our gold. wink.gif

They probably know already, confidentiality does not apply to the all powerful.

What you had for breakfast this morning has already been logged. wink.gif
