My advice to you Sluffy after re-reading this entire thread and this also extends to your business partners in Nuts who I guess are KP? And Biggie?
You don't mix business with pleasure!
I enjoy this forum primarily as a lurker. I only get drawn in when it's something I feel strongly about, hence I'm all over this thread which is unusual for me. The fact that I don't post much doesn't mean I don't know all about most of you that post on here regularly. Some of you I like, others not so much, but hey ho that's life.
Sluffy, if you really want to make Nuts a long term success then stop posting as yourself. Forum owners and mods should not be visible. You should never EVER hear or see anything from them. They provide the platform for us to have our debates on and THATS IT! If you want to get involved and stir debates then that's great but do it under a pseudonym that no one knows is in charge. The fact you do it under your own name and revel in the fact that you could've banned this person or that only highlights that you are that megalomaniac that we talked about. It's like going to a nightclub with owner standing on the door deciding who he lets in. Stop it and stop it now or Nuts will die. No one wants to join an Internet forum where the owner or where the mods decide the fait accompli and interact with the customers like you are doing now, dictating your own views and shoot down anyone that disagrees with them.
Don't get me wrong I do not want you to disappear. If I'm honest I enjoy the arguments we do have. Like I said I'm a lurker and you get me out of the shadows on to the floor. But if you want to attract more people here you should heed my advice.
If you decide to carry on then be very prepared that many of the important regulars are not impressed with your decorum in this and other threads and have posted such in this very thread. I would guess it wouldn't take too much to tempt them away to a new alternative forum where the mods and the owners do not behave like you are doing now. I hope you take on board what I and others have said and continue to make Nuts the first place we come too because it would be such a shame for it to go to waste on an over-inflated ego. I also hope that if you can't take this message on board that maybe your business partners do and can have a quiet word with you. Thanks again.
And y2jonny you are my second favourite and on my list. Love you too! X
