Not many members not many newbies but!

I'm curious sir, if you are Albert Einstein on a computer and have a deep desire to moderate us to greatness why not make a forum of your own, I'd love to join it

It could be cool how about 'Moose's mad house'

Hows about 'Jovial Jones' ?

I would nail your gonads to the monitor Eddie as your forum is sinking as you know.

Nothing to loss and everything to gain.

What wouldn't you give for audience.

I speech and read polish Zand amongst other languages, "to view doctor" the transition. I haven't a clue what it references.

"to view doctor" lol .

"I speech and read polish Zand amongst other languages" Please forgive my impertinence General Moose, but is English a language you are familiar with ?

Only asking.

Its called dyslexic caused by a piece of shrapnel in my skull protecting your freedoms.

General Moose

Moderator in Training, nope bugger it your loss.

"shrapnel in my skull" Thank you for keeping us fully informed General Moose, I can fully appreciate shrapnel in your skull can have a profound influence on a persons ability to think in a logical and coherent manner.

May I take this opportunity to thank you for your posts, which have provided much merriment and amusement for the members. I am sure we all look forward to more of your valuable and highly memorable posts.

Jack, I hear what you say and your ideas have been discussed before. First and foremost, we are a friendly forum promoting a low carb lifestyle. However, occasionally the "other forum" will crop up on our pages simply because they are a huge network and because many members here still post there. We do try to limit references to DCUK but when the Hilary Jones debacle takes place or good guys get banned for no reason it's difficult not to comment.
The strength of this forum is the knowledge of the members but I'll be honest, I have no experience promoting sites and any sensible ( non military ) ideas gratefully received.

I think hilary on FB was a valid topic, that I myself commented on. The guy was a twat with answers of value, only if they were written on toilet paper. Then they would be at least good for wiping your arse with.

I'm a user not a manager and I'm sure there will be sites and forums on how to grow a site...but my off the cuff thoughts

as to building membership, the main page is getting the hits
you could have a promo of...got a question? ask our forum members..and a nonmember guest thread where they can ask without joining first off. this will stop the whole forum being spammed and only one page to clean up.
interaction Q&A will build a following and membership to join in the main forum pages..make the initial question as easy as possible to ask

I don't know if you could get the main page directing here to the forum and then to the blogspots or the blogspts linked off the forum. I think people are being directed to too many sites at the moment.

Thanks Jack for taking the time to provide a few ideas which we will take on board. It's still early days and we don't pretend to know it all so advice & feedback always welcome. It would also help if all our great members can help push our site wherever possible on their own social media sites. Take care, Mo.

So what struck you in the head Eddie?

Moose

Well, that's odd.  I posted on this thread yesterday.  A genuine post from a genuine member.  My post, and the one I quoted have been deleted.

So much for freedom of speech!  Could one of you gentlemen please tell me how I can unsubscribe from this forum?  It obviously isn't the place for a genuine poster and low-carber looking to manage her diabetes like me.

Thanks

hi Diana, I'm sure if your post was a reasonable one (i didn't see it) there must have been some kind of error, if you want to, maybe hang around for someone and an explanation

Unlikely explanation given the number of others that have disappeared. Thanks but no thanks Andy. Can you tell me how to unsubscribe please?

I'm sorry i have no idea

Hi Diana, please stay around. I am sure it was just a glitch. I had problems with not being able to login recently and then when I could login, I couldn't post. Also in the early days 3 of my posts disappeared when the system wasn't up and running properly. I was upset because I feel one of them was my best ever post!

The other person who posts have been removed is a well known troll who was here to make trouble.

There is freedom of speech here, honestly. Please stay and give us another chance. I would really enjoy chatting to you here

That's kind Zand, but there isn't freedom of speech at all. I joined on the recommendation of another genuine contributor whose posts elsewhere I've always respected. Mine yesterday was a genuine contribution, replying to the OP and to Jack, giving constructive criticism and my personal observations as a member

I also lost several posts at the same time that you did but gave this place the benefit of the doubt. They seem more interested in back-biting, bitching and as a platform for personal conversations between moderators than allowing genuine posters to comment.

I see my profile has had a 'just arrived' description added to it, while my date of joining is listed as August 2014! There's no place for me here, but I'll enjoying seeing you in the other place.

OK See you there then. So sorry this has happened. The 'just arrived' thing is there probably because of the new 'star' system and changes with the no. of posts you make. I can see how it's not really appropriate in your case.

I'm sad to see you leave.

Hi Diana I too think there must have been a glitch. Can't think you would post anything that warranted being deleted. Hope you stick around x

Hi and apologies if you've experienced a problem with a post you made. I cannot give a full explanation unfortunately because I don't know anything about the content or why it disappeared. All I can say is that it was not deleted my a mod. There is freedom of speech here and we value all contributions. There have been a few "teething problems" as we are a new forum but nothing intentional.
However, if you still wish to be removed from the forum, please let me know but we would love you to remain a member here and hopefully see that this place isn't all about personal conversations etc.
Thanks, Mo !

It doesn't seem very difficult to upset people these days
