3 in the last 12 months.

Only 1 of whom posts with any regularity.

Doesn't it appear on Google searches?

Ah but what you don't know is that there are thousands of new members, but they belong to the secret bit of the forum only open, in posting terms, to the elite members like myself, and not to the plebs!

Ricky Spanish · « **Reply #3 on:** June 25, 2015, 12:40:33 PM »

^^^^ that's why no one is interested in joining this forum.

Leonard James · « **Reply #4 on:** June 25, 2015, 02:05:45 PM »

Maybe because they see us all as a bunch of losers who keep going round in circles.

Ricky Spanish · « **Reply #5 on:** June 25, 2015, 02:12:25 PM »

perhaps someone could write a program that posts the same old arguments again and again so that we can all go off and do something more productive?

Both my garden and my hubby would appreciate that!

I suppose it couldn't be god's judgment?

Simple - too many WUMs and Trolls - naming no names of course!

Mote beam eye - Thrud!

Some people I invited to join the forum were put off by the unpleasantness of one or two of the 'Christians'. One did actually join but left when one of the posters, in particular, really did their head in because they are so confrontational and unpleasant.

You're a relative newcomer but you don't appear to have been put off by that.

I guess you felt that you fitted right in.

See my post on the "lack of moderation" thread!

Your resolve didn't last long:

I shall, henceforth follow the advice that I have been given, by another poster, and treat you as if you and your posts do not exist

About 2 and a half minutes!

Maybe because these are not really the 'Religions & Ethics ' boards. These are 'Atheists' boards with religious people being the 'defendants'.

Some people did join I remember but were driven out by some atheists (Prof W in particular) with their aggressive and insulting responses.

Ricky Spanish · « **Reply #15 on:** June 25, 2015, 02:46:24 PM »

Low blow.

Prof W isn't in residence to defend himself.

I agree with that alright! LOL!

Ricky Spanish · « **Reply #17 on:** June 25, 2015, 02:47:50 PM »

If people are insulting other members and being aggressive to other members and this is resulting in members leaving the board isn't this something that should be addressed by the moderators?

Yes...of course. But they don't always do the appropriate thing. Some people here are more equal than others, I have noticed.

Why? Where has he gone? He posted recently.

Ricky Spanish · « **Reply #20 on:** June 25, 2015, 02:56:15 PM »

OK. He isn't around much.

Maybe...but he is around alright. Check the Christians board.

Depends on their arse licking proficiency.

If you call one particular mod "my lady" you can get away with anything.
