Mayfield Report 21 Aug 2013 18:25

Hi all,
For some time now I have been disappointed with the with the nagging problems of loading and the general operation of the site.

It’s only the forum that I found was any attraction to remaining a member, but the management and the poor way moderation of this forum is carried out has made my mind up.

I did contact Genes some months ago to ask that they stopped some of the pettiness and sorted out the site, which is very poor compared to it‘s main rival, but it fell on deaf ears

They more or less shrugged and said they were looking into the issues with the site.

They seem to have taken the safe “politically correct” route and threatened posters of mild jokes which cheered many people up with a ban, while ignoring the other issues that many more of us have found spoilt the community sprit of the forum.

My subscription runs out on the 22nd so it’s goodbye from me. :-(

Best wishes and good luck to you all. :-)

Take care.

I have Ay membership int. It costs a bit more than GRu but is very dry. It reminds me of being in a St James club and having yr mobile phone ring ...shock, horror. Jokes ... no way.

The GenesRU standard membership fee is not a lot - 2 pints of beer for 6 months.

So why not stay around, you make excellent posts?
Nothing was ever changed by shutting the door. Including the batty RR system.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

I will look in from time to time to see how things are going, so if you do feel a strange draught or an eerie presence on the boards, fear not, it might just be me floating around in the ether. ;-)

Who knows? Maybe if things improve I might return like Bobby Ewing from the shower, or one of those arch villains that screen heroes always think they have killed off at the end of the film.

By for now,

“Mayfield has left the building”

It's such a shame that you have decided not to renew your membership, Mayfield, and I'm sure there are many that feel the same.
But, I bet you miss the comraderie, and will be returning before too long! :-)

I am very sorry to hear that you are leaving the site.

We need members like you to stay but sadly all the nice ones are leaving and the ones that cause all the problems are still around.

It won't be long when all we have left are the members we don't need on here.

I do wish Genes would sort this all out before Genes is destroyed altogether,that would be very sad for me and many other members who love this site warts and all :-(
