GT?

[Glentoby]

Only a few ever refered to me back in the day as GT? You did billy,so where from?

Just intrigued that so far only you that has acknowledged the past and to assure you you are doing a great job on here and have my full support.Not to forget to mention your passion for both the site and punters.

I don't have a huge amount of time but would you consider a "Problem page" as a stand alone where a few forumites can try and help punters with questions as a good idea?

Kind Regards

Hi mate, I was trying to think the other day where I had read some of your posts before?
I used to scan most horsey forums back in the day.

I have been here since 2001, seems like a lifetime in the forum world with so many changes taking place.
I think the GT comes from most people calling me BH? Just me being lazy probably.

At one time we used to akin this place to going down your local where you could have a chat about anything and argue the toss about the days racing. Those days are long gone i'm afraid as you well know.

People these days have very little time or inclination to sit at the PC and contribute to a discussion thread, Paul was telling me the other day that 70% of members at that time were actually viewing the PL via a flippin mobile, how you can fully contribute to a forum on a phone is beyond me, but there you go.

The truth is that people log on, quickly scan the menus, enter the various comps and log off. The odd thread gets some reaction but it usually has to be either giving something away or controversial. The vast majority of posters don't read anything else, sad but true. We are trying to reverse the trend.

We do our best here and we think we have a good platform for people to discuss anything without being bullied or ridiculed. You may get the odd warrior but thats life and we deal with it.

We welcome any new ideas for threads but we try not have too many stickie topics as it does put people off we have found.
