Where's the old bloke that used to get around at most of the grounds, hesian sack slung over shoulder, selling his wares................."Peanuts, Peanuts, Peanuts". You'd send your money down the aisle to him and he'd chuck your peanuts at your head. Aaaahhh, customer service - a dying art.

Dragga's girl is still with us nitro. Had a nameadectomy and is now Tigers Goddess. :hearton

Tigerbob checks in every now and again but isn't a prolific poster.

Ghost of Jimmy Jess posted a farewell message letting us know he wasn't the biggest fan of PRE and left the premises.

It would be great to have the links to the other forums still. We did until about 6 months ago but they've disappeared now.

Should this be a nameoplasty as in arthroplasty (hip replacement)?

an ectomey would imply a cutting out not a replacement (from the latin ectomia "cutting out" )

respectfully

Thanks Michael, I hadn't read that thread before. Still not a full explanation there really.

The only mention on the message board of cassady leaving is Crystal's post saying he's left PRE on the "Hey" thread therefore I don't consider it my position to discuss that. Hopalong is welcome to post here or not as he sees fit.

Some people may have read a post by topaz saying that neither her nor TC want anything further to do with PRE. Topaz also contacted me privately but I don't feel it appropriate now to disclose those messages. She also invited me to delete her PRE acct which I didn't do. The thread was deleted because by request because it wasn't doing anyone any favours.

I think it's fair to say the kerfuffle was over 2 things.

Firstly I deleted the old shed thread that hadn't been available for 6 months or so and that caused post counts for some people to drop significantly.

Secondly there was a thread started called The Bench for idle chit-chat. I merged it with a couple of threads that had already had a similar theme (The Den and The Shed) I thought it would be better having them all on the same thread but obviously others didn't and I was advised they wouldn't be posting on the merged thread.

I'm not discussing TC either. I've had several comments passed on, but to me that's like Chinese whispers. I haven't heard anything from TC himself and he didn't reply to my e-mail.

I hate these public prosecutions and hope that explanation is enough for people to leave it alone.

It's up to the individuals involved if they want to join us again or not.

Good on you for your transparency Rosy.
It's a shame TC particularly left without saying goodbye. Hopefully he'll be back. But if not life goes on.

As the saying goes the club is bigger than the individual. But those disgruntled ex players will surely be welcome back....

TC did say goodbye ToO but that thread was deleted (as per someone's request). I didn't see any goodbye message from Cass though and only discovered he'd left because someone pm'd me about it.

And yes thanks for being transparent about it Rosy. Its all just such a terrible shame really and I hope that TC, Topaz and Cass do come back when the season kicks in and all will be forgiven. :hearton
