Has been very active overnight I see - some very old threads along with some from last couple of days have been bumped up for no obvious reason. If I saw who was doing it, I would ask them by name 'why?' on a separate thread on the board. I wonder if it is always the same person stirring it?? Maz. XX

I am currently nudging the hunger site for Brian whilst he is away, and keeping an eye on the GB board for Jenny. xxhugxx

It must have started after I went to bed, about 12:30am. Probably someone that couldn't sleep or was bored...or as you say Maz...someone who does this for no reason on a regular basis. Trouble is, if we 'Catch' them, it may just be a person bumping a thread for a genuine reason...and not the phantom nudger ! Elaine x

Lindy - no-one would have a problem with those hun - its only when its done to cause confusion or stir up trouble that it becomes a problem and irritates the hell out of me! Maz. XX

There was a link Maz - someone nudged one of Elaine Harlowgirl's threads from 100 years ago where she was talking about being fed up and also nudged Lynda Pace's thread about too much personal info at the same time. I think the suggestion was that Elaine's comments on Lynda's thread contrasted with what hse'd posted a while ago.

yep David - it is exactly that sort of thing where someone tries to cause trouble that I am on about. Oh how I wish I could see who does it - they would not remain anonymous for long!

Might have been less snidey if they'd asked Elaine about it if they had a problem with it:)

i saw one person nudge up several old threads a few weeks ago but was suprised at who it was am keeping an 'eye' on them................ !!! it mite hav been a 'one off' !!!

Oh I see that now ! it was 'Phantomly' nudged 04.49am and the thread is almost a year old ! someone must have trawled the GR basement for that one. Yes someone is delibratly trying to stir for me...and I have my ideas who. (again im not telling publicly !) BUT I never asked for advice on it like recent threads and also diddnt give out any info. When I first posted the thread I was upset And when I reposted on it I was drunk...yes I admit that..it was the last time I got drunk...almost a year ago ! ..those who know me know the details of how I felt at the time They supported me in private. But at least I dddnt post ONE thread and kept on adding to it,,,,getting sympathy one day and carrying it on to the next day too. At least I wasnt telling people I was not fit to reply to their personal emails but happy enough to post songs on another thread without a care in the world ! (note I have not named names ! ) Elaine x

elaine i think its obvious that ur thread was bumped to show it alongside lyndas to maybe start an argument i wish i had seen who did it !!!!

I caught someone having a mammoth nudge session very early one morning a few months back, but like Lou I was so gobsmacked by who it was that I didn't say a word! I'm such a wimp, lol! Bev x

Lou Well Ive said what I have on here in response to my thread being bumped, and am not going to take the bait for a row. So begger them ! It will be interesting to see who does want a row though ! Elaine x

No, It's not the same person who has been nudging the 'phantom nudger' threads - I don't know about the others, but if there are threads people don't want dragging up again because it caused distress/arguments etc the first time around couldn't the person who posted the thread simply delete it, as it is in the past & if they want to forget about it wouldn't that be the simple solution?? That's just my opinion, what I would do; that way there would be no chance of it coming back to 'haunt' me lol!! :0) Joan

Joan, as always you speak a mamouth of sense. I agree with you. If you don't want old coals raked over delete the thread! I am also against nudging for the sake of it. But sometimes there are very good and sound reasons to nudge a thread. Jacquie xxxx

Jacquie I don't know what mamouth is but :0) Joan x

well he/she has certainly got everyone talking about them this morning! Do you think their ears are burning? Penny

OOops Joan, sorry mammoth - brain not engaged this early in the morning.....but you speak an enormous amount of sense!!! Jacquie xxxx

Thank you Jacquie I thought it was just MY brain that wasn't engaged & we are a few hours ahead of you!!! lol!! Never mind come midnight i'll be ok! :0) Joan x

Joan and Jacquie The thread was posted almost a year ago and pardon me if at the time I never deleted it once it fell off the board. Im sure im not the only member who does not delete every post I put once it dies a natural death. Im not ashamed of the thread I put so why delete it ? The thread does not 'Haunt me' at all. The only annoyance is that the phantom nudger thought it would come back to haunt me and has bumped it up for no reason other than to cause trouble. Maybe my words on Lyndas thread touched a raw nerve ! Elaine x

And maybe you are reading too much into it....maybe it was just done like it often is....someone with too much time on their hands being mischievous!!! If it doesn't bother you why go on about it. Jacquie xxxx
