    I hear on the gapevine (and no that's not a typo) that Jackie has finally pulled the plug on the oldest podiatry forum on the uk web. Possibly the best news this century so far! What say you?

    Overall that forum did our profession no favours.
    I for one am pleased the plug has been pulled.

    Damn,

    Now where will i go to kill some time on a cold rainy day when i can find nothing else constructive to do.:sinking:

    I used to love how quickly the posts descended into rational thought provoking educated discussion.:deadhorse::boxing:

    I will miss it :drinks

    Result.
     
  6. This! There is a segment of our profession carrying far too much bile. As like minded souls are wont to do, they found each other and happily engaged themselves sniping and complaining. Where now will these poor inadequate souls find to masticate their simmering resentment?

    Hopefully not here!

    Prison is a nasty place and we all agree it needs some rules! But we should not celebrate it's closeur!

    It would appear the game is less entertaining with the veil of anonymity lifted...

    Dear All,

    One aspect it was good at was highlighting the FHP's who flouted the MISSUSE of TITLE legislation and HPC rules on use of protected titles.

    So now that will not be monitored and reported.

    Otherwise i considered that the abilty to be anonymous was not productive.

    If that is true, then it is bad news. At least it kept the trolls off this site. Where will they go now?

    The Trolls have been bouncing between the two sites for years. Be a shame now I cant wind them up into a frenzy from here anymore still, as a persecuted downtrodden minority podiatrist that has suffered abuse from sooooooooo many over the years...........my sensitive side is showing and a solitary tear is trickling down my cheek at the prospect of homeless Trolls abandoned with nowhere to go...It aint easy for me being a minority ya know...may the trolls RIP.... Tossers:drinks :D:D:D

    Cheers

    Actually, they are/were here all along. Just moderated and accountable. That's the difference.

    All,

    WRONG !

    the website is down temporarily while Jackie takes a well-deserved holiday.

    I have been told that normal service will resume on or around 6th August. :D

    regards

    Catfoot

    PS. 13 posts all about a site that people say they despise - thats an aweful lot of posts about something that is apparently of no consequence !!
     
  15. I'm sorry. I should be taking this more seriously.

    Ahem.

    A holiday. Righto. Like it generally shuts down for holidays...

    Something is clearly afoot(site).

    See what I did there?
     
  16. Nope, my post had nothing to do with a website.

    OK SS,
    If you want to be pedantic 12 posts about a website that nobody likes and 1 about a portion of chips. :rolleyes:

    RI,
    If you don't believe me ring the office and you'll find out.

    regards

    Catfoot

    PS Apparently Jackie has taken the trolls with her, so some lucky person may get a postcard soon .....

    If anyone deserves a well deserved break, they do.
     
  19. I struggle to believe you. I strongly suspect that if the TFS closure is temporary, it owes nothing to any holiday (it has after all never closed for holiday before now, why should it?), and perhaps rather more to the "unfortunate series of events" we saw a few weeks ago...

    But then you seem remarkably well informed, so who knows!

    I love it when you're cryptic. Makes you seem all mysterious...

    RI,
    I am well-informed because, instead of speculating, a colleague rang the office to find out, and that is what they were told.

    I believe Jackie is half-way up the Matterhorn with the trolls acting as sherpas but without access to technology.

    So we'll just have to wait and see, when she comes down, won't we ? ;)

    regards

  21. Beautiful range I'm told, but patchy wifi to be sure! That must be it the ;)

    We shall await the "postcard" with great interest. :rolleyes: I'm certain it will be... remarkable.

    Aww CF only 13 ? anyone with a half ounce of common sense would put that site down as an unprofessional rabble on content alone, a disgrace in fact a total disgrace to the profession as a whole, but TROLLS might have another view, perhaps your view ????:rolleyes:

    Cheers

    DTT,
    and your post makes 22 ! :D

    CF

    PS. I'm afraid I can't speak for the trolls, and they can't speak for themselves at present as they are too busy carrying Jackies's bivoac
     
  24. As fun as this is, I'm going to sound a note of moderation.

    We're referring to "trolls" and "the trolls" en masse, but they shouldn't really be considered as such. There are Trolls who are genuinely that, who try to disrupt threads for the sake of disrupting threads. Then there are those who have strong and passionate beliefs and perhaps under the intoxication of presumed anonymity say thinks they would never say to peoples faces.

    One of those groups have a valid position, poorly expressed (IMO) the other are a pestilence. Not really fair to lump them together as I and others sometimes do.

    Re TFS,
    I should have posted this earlier but I have only just found the quote

    "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated
    Origin

    Mark Twain quotation after hearing that his obituary had been published in the New York Journal.

    Mistaken publications of obituaries aren't as rare as you might expect. A recent example is of Dave Swarbrick, the British folk/rock violinist, who was killed off mistakenly by the Daily Telegraph in April 1999 when they reported that his visit to hospital in Coventry had resulted in his death. He did at least get the opportunity to read a rather favourable account of his life, not something we all get to do, and to deliver the gag "It's not the first time I have died in Coventry".


    regards

    Loving the well-informed, non- speculative 3rd hand information..

    CF, you are correct in so much that the `death` is not of the lake of fire. It shall rise again, phoenix like......and somewhat loosely moderated.

    Just my speculative tuppence, of course.

    That's interesting - 28 posts in a thread about a site that no-one can stand the sight of,

    (and 1 post about a bag of chips)

    must be some kind of a record :confused:

    CF
     
  31. Not really. There's a thread somewhere with about 6 pages on the use of insoles to cure infertility. You don't have to like something to want to talk about it ;)

    forgive the ignorance, but why do you have to close a website to go on holiday? i don't physically need to be logged on for my site to run....

    walks like a duck, quacks like a duck......... something very strange going on there...oh yes and google can't even access a cached version of the site????? some holiday!

    Well, well, well what can I say ? ;)

    It looks like Jackie has heard about this thread and has cut short her holiday with the trolls to come back and plug TFS back in again. :D

    Oh ye of little faith !!
