2 weeks to go, let's thank the Band - PR Visitors Book

shanky · Post by **shanky** » Wed Jul 01, 2020 6:03 pm

blah blah, here's the news. We're done
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=99636

Let's take a moment to thank the people who have made it happen for us to talk rubbish and be heard

a) PR Towers - you never made a cent from us probably bru - but we're grateful OK
b) Jake - under-appreciated, much-loved, a bit quirky, like that character "egg" from that weird 90's show. For all you've done - Thank you
c) Mods - surprising amount of pressure that I would not tolerate. Furthermore, it stops you expressing you and turns it from 'fun' to 'job' Thanks guys. Very few people here would have done it.
A couple tried (yeah, you Sefton,..looking at you commiebitchmotherucker)
d) the posters, the regulars, the 'us' - well done people - you made the music. All of you, including all those people who weren't on Enzedders list LOL

Speaking for myself. I caused offence plenty of times. But then again, no offence intended.

If you go to the new lifeboats, have a good time

If you don't, then have a great life.

We happy few, we band of brothers.

These are just my first-entry thoughts...feel free to add your own (better) comments and thoughts below.

This is a Visitor's Book. Is that what you want as your entry?

To be fair, in my posting history, it’s probably my best.

Yup almost universally good sorts only met one poster I thought was a complete knobjockey (from the get go) no names no pack drill...

Posting here has been a blessing and a curse so many laughs and good times but so much time at work completely wasted

It's been great fun and, often, a good source of information. I have already got my lifejacket on. See you on the other side.

I miss Dozy and Enzedder interacting. It was like a very naughty little brother and his wiser older sibling.
Can there ever be another Globus?

Heh, just looking for some advice.

My live in Girlfriend wants to go on a. 3 week contiki tour of europe with a couple of her girlfriends.
We have a pretty solid relationship. She doesn't ever flirt with guys at the pub...

You think i need to worry about her upcoming trip...?

He was an amateur, only a true professional could get a Plastic Taff banned from Gwlad.

It feels strange that Hotel California is shutting down.

I'm not convinced I'll board a lifeboat, perhaps I'll go down with the ship.

I'd like to thank the arsehole that banned me for a few years along with loads of others on the Boston bombing thread where I wasn't even in the shit fight that was happening.

He is pretty much seneca's son.
One of the most vile posters on here. He is like the next seneca. Copies everything from him pretty much and is seneca-lite at this moment but will turn into a worse version of seneca in the future.

Shanky - I did not realize you approved of posters like these. Imo you are almost as bad for encouraging their bigotry.

I’m treating this like a leaving / condolence card and will wait for someone else to write something appropriate that I can copy.

moosehead · Post by **moosehead** » Thu Jul 02, 2020 2:35 am

I would like to thank the band. Always seemed to put in an honest effort each day / night.

The drummer especially seemed to go above and beyond. Here is just his typical performance...
Maybe a bit over the top... but you have to love his enthusiasm....

Where does that leave me?

eldanielfire · Post by **eldanielfire** » Thu Jul 02, 2020 8:40 am

Will PR still be readable after it's shut down? Or will everything be gone straight away?
Also what willposters not around now who might return or isn't a regular right now (Like say a theo) know where to go? Is everyone getting a shut down warning email in advance? (which is the normal course for suspending accounts or shutting a service)

Decided to go down with the ship, wasted too much time on here, seems like a good excuse to jump.

There's a lot I'll miss and a bit I won't. At least NPR is looking good; been there for a few days and I'll stick with it. New handle though because reasons.

Thanks everybody who made this place what it is. nuffsaid.

Hello all. Thanks to those who have made this a great place to visit.

I rather like the comment about the "lifeboat" given I'm a member of the RNLI and a Yachtmaster Ocean".

I hope the new site will continue in the same vein as here.

I wish you all well. God bless.

Well I didn’t do any from 2003 to 2016 so I suspect it did affect profitability/my earnings

Ouch, I’m ill with this narrative.

So, I'm pretty sure you'll have a reworking version of this in 2 weeks and then a second wave to follow.

We've mended the football forum- massive job- and it's starting to regenerate. it'll take time. We may move it to XenForo but not sure yet.

So, you can guarantee this will be fit for purpose and there'll be two stages.

If you go, fine. If you stay, great.

So the forum isn’t closing down??

So is the forum moving or closing? (and we know you love the vague uncertainty here Jake)
