imho people have friends close friends and people they may speak to now and again and people they dislike even though they have never met that person, so some people are really missed, missed abit not really missed and some not missed at all, so when someone you really like leaves etc etc personaly i think there is a nice mix off people on here and support and unbiased advice is excellent

ok im taking my tablets now or have i already urrrrrrrrrrm

and im talking to new people or people who i have missed or uive been missed and its nice having new friends opinions etc

think most now have realised.

there is a real world outside GR,,,,,its same as FB in a couple more years time that will go down in use...

GR was new ,exciting as there wasnt a family interactive site like it. same as the amCB in 1976/7,everyone sat up all night talking on expensive rigs ,making friends,going to eyeballs.etc.rigs became cheap to buy, attracting brain doners then it all died a death,but GR will go on regardless of how many leave,as for every couple leaving 10/12 join so the balance tips...

'My era'...I have been with this site since it opened I don't have 'my era', or are you saying that I am different from everyone else.


Funny as i thought that it was your sister that was here since it opened

I don't see very much bickering on here anymore. I do see some fun threads. The music threads are always good. There will always be a difference of opinion, awkward people who think they are being picked on etc. but that's the same in real life.

Anything that involves people changes. We don't stay the same. We move on, get involved in other interests and other sites. However there is always someone who just can't let go and will bring up silly things from the past. That's the only time in my opinion when things flare up. Just relax and enjoy. This site isn't the be all and end all.

Stella I dont think its to do with GR the typing thing. I'm sure that happened to me before while doing emails.
Somebody will maybe know exactly what causes it.

Once upon a time, on the general board, Bryan and I used to post songs on a very long thread, by request; then the thread was abused and Bryan left so, after a while, I deleted it.


Stella, it is only this site as far as I am concerned; also, site jumping and errors when trying to send a message.

Hi Joy
other sites are free to use and don't have all these problems.. i think this site is over expensive and overrated to be truthful

Joy Report 21 Jul 2010 22:09

I wouldn't disagree with that, Stella :-)

I seem to post more on other sites nowadays, such as digital spy, rootschat and other family history ones, and others; all free :-)

If you want my opinion, this site is outdated, and way past it's sell-by-date.

I post on lots of other sites, and they wont' tolerate any of the stuff that goes on here, and they are far better, far more informative than this one, and as Joy said, most of them are free!

Courtesy is something that is often not considered. If someone has an opinion that differs from the majority that person can sometimes be ridiculed and ostracised. However on the other hand there are one or two people here who always think any criticism is aimed at them and that every thread is another attempt to belittle them. Egotistical or paranoid?
