The forum's going on holiday for a couple of weeks

[lilolil]

Enjoy your break!!!

[HonaloochieB]

Oh, holidays now is it? I'll holidays you my lad.

Keep your nose to the grindstone and you can have Christmas Day off.

Well two hours in the afternoon at least.

[HonaloochieB]

Actually have a good break and thanks for your all your hard work.

Cookwankery complaints and BBW huffery-puffery notwithstanding I think most of us appreciate your efforts.

[Muley]

Except the clowns. Or foxes. Or cats (but then they just think that all humans exist solely for the purpose of serving them anyway). Ungrateful sods.

Did I say 'wishing you a good holiday?'

Wishing you a good holiday.

[Jah Lush]

Although I'm dreading the withdrawal symptoms during the shutdown do have an enjoyable and very well deserved break. And a very big thank you for all the effort and hard work your good self and Admin have put in over the past three years. Cheers!

*Raises glass in your direction and slurps*

We?ll have to stand at the bar in the CPT and just shout random song names at each other.

[SeanMacGabhann]

That sounds like an EXCELLENT way to spend an evening

[silverfox]

Just as a matter of interest, why does the forum have to close down? Surely it's hosted by a (bigger) third party organisation? Can't you delegate to others to keep it going? What do your advertisers think of the shut down? It seems a bit amateurish that someone goes on holiday and the show can't go on.

> Why does the forum have to close down?

Explained above

> Surely it's hosted by a (bigger) third party organisation?

Yes, but they don't run it

> Can't you delegate to others to keep it going?

I could but we're all having a break

> What do your advertisers think of the shut down?

They don't mind because they get the time added on to their agreement.

> It seems a bit amateurish that someone goes on holiday and the show can't go on.

That comes across as a rather pompous statement. Do you say that to your local shops when they close down for a holiday? If this forum were a "professional" operation then maybe it would stay open, but it's not.

[bonniebird]

I think this forum is a great thing for the community, have a lovely holiday and we'll look forward to your return, will miss it :)-D

I live in Forest hill by the way:))

[Brendan]

The forum is amateur like the Olympics, it is what makes it great.

[intexasatthe moment]

Can someone please give details of support group...

Have a very well deserved break ,thanks for all you do.

[PeckhamRose]

I am gunna get SO MUCH WORK DONE!

You so deserve the break.

Have a great holiday and I am sorry you have to deal with so many idiots!

Edited to delete the wank I wrote before reading ALL the previous posts!

Edited again to see if - when I write cookwank - it comes out properly because just writing the 'w' word it didn't!

Edited AGAIN to see that it DID! HA!

Send us an e-card - oh wait, we won't be able to read it!

[*Bob*]

Temporary Accommodation from the 15th?

See you there.

[Brendan]

We couldn't actually do that.

Could we?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I wouldn't recommend it

[Brendan]

Yeah it would be terribly rude. We could actually just go to the pub and speak face to face.

I think I remember what that was like.

[*Bob*]

Think of it as a two week flash-mobbing.

It could be a win-win situation:

We get somewhere to hole-up.

They get more than four posts in a week, for a change.

[SeanMacGabhann]

then lenk would come along - without supervision! - and spoil it for everyone...

Remember they don't care about saddoes on the internet - but they are attracted to them

[mockney piers]

I suppose it may be Keef's social experiment in action.

Well, except for the fact that they're admin team will be coincidentally on holiday and probably shut it down if things went awry there.

I've noticed people posting there already mind...

What does that mean Mark?

[Mark]

umm, if East Dulwich Forum users take over those other forums they may have to be closed until after the break. I don't know how to say it another way, oh hang on, якщо Східний Dulwich форум користувачів взяти на себе ці інші форуми вони можуть бути закриті до закінчення свята.

Edit: Sorry I was being facetious, basically there will no one keeping an eye on those forums and rather than let them be taken over by EDF people with no admin team in charge the sites will be taken down for whilst we're on holiday.

[edited once]

[Narnia]

Sorry if you considered my question stupid but you said those forums will be monitored and then said there would be no admin team in charge. I didn't know you were part of the admin of other forums too! Should I have known this?

[Mark]

A friendly neighbour is keeping an eye on the other forums, if they look in on them one day and there's something awry they have the ability to flick a switch and turn them off.

[Mrs Y]

Have a thoroughly well deserved break, and thanks so much for all your hard work.

Take Care
