One post yesterday - apart from admin's, which nae chunt reads - and even that was just sevvy.
Board is how it deserves to be and no one gives a sh1te.
Hi Ed
Do you not think it's time to consider stepping aside and let someone who cares about the board have a bash at running it? You did a great job in the past when the board was buzzing, was reasonably well moderated, good banter and lots of posters. Now none of that exists and the board has fallen to 2-3 posts per day.
Defences like 'all boards are down' don't wash - this board could have been and can be thriving again.

Thanks for your interest in the state of the board. I have often thought of stopping running the site (which is more than just the board) but have been unsuccesful in finding anybody insane enough to take over. I have a life away from here and have not been able to spend as much time as I used to writing stories as I try to generate some income from other interests. As many regulars may recall that I don't really post on the board much apart from announcing stories (that some do read :-)) or to try to calm some fevered brows when things turn nasty. The board is and alway has been the domain of the posters. It is busy or quiet depending if posters want to post things. I cannot do much to force people to post. So rather than suggesting that I stand aside perhaps users and visitors can consider what they can do to enhance the level of discussion on the board. A new editor may write more interesting stories but not sure they can do much about generating posts.
Deid maybe but still preferable to the constant bile spewed by the Huns that used to frequent here before they left in tears with their tails firmly between their legs
The Tims will thrash them again today and then we'll have peace for another 6 months

Dignity brothers and keep looking in. Ed loves those hits
Editorial posts/'stories' are neither here nor there - I doubt anyone thinks 'I'll post on sfnet its got great stories from ed'. The board is about the posters and poor, inconsistent moderation of posts and posters over the past few years led to most of the decent posters leaving. That's not so much a criticism as a fact. The board is dead - and prior to drawing its last breath, most of the posts on here would have been chopped years ago - and arent tolerated on any other boards i visit.
Dannys board is a good example, if youre interested - a busy, thriving board and all the posters on there were posters on here who decided to leave for the reason I stated above.
Dannys board is great folks, it's the site that offers you a free stabbing if you don't toe the party line. Ask AJ
Endless bigotry too, nae wonder the huns gravitated there.
