I've noticed some of the spring has returned to CWF, while it's gone quiet round here.
anybody else noticed this??

Not been there for a few months now and wont be returning. More than enough for me here with a much better feeling.

Yesterday I looked at the number of visitors to Thunderboat, and that with the number of members who logged in is really quite respectable/large. I hadn't been to Canalworld for a couple of weeks (I think) and had a quick look yesterday - apart from Higgs's stance to the Brexit issue (I agree with him), I quickly thought what's the point, and when I saw Wriggly's crying into her soup I was off back here to the world of the sane.
I'll have another look at Canalworld from time to time, might have info about stoppages - although where we are very unlikely to affect us at the moment - but that site has lost its lustre for me. I do wonder how Athy is getting on as a moderator. He's a nice chap and if he had been a moderator earlier I wouldn't have liked to offend him and probably wouldn't have been chucked off. On the other hand I'm glad that things came to a head and Thunderboat was started, a breath of fresh air in the stagnant tunnel.
I hope Thunderboat trundles along for a few years. It is a good alternative to the sickly PC-world of finger-wagging nursery teachers. You can be serious here at the same time as having a bit of a laugh, and time does tell what members here are like, you get a general idea after a few months. Good luck to both sites. This one certainly seems the more tolerant of all creeds.

Yup. Not a lot happening here right now. You cheat - you keep posting one-liners of about six words to get your post count up!

You can always count on some expert wibble (ie argument) on the other channel.
Currently there's a topic on water pumps that's gone to 10 pages! And one on generators, 14 pages!!!
Was thinking of kicking off an FAQ/index here, might use the time over Christmas to start one.
How about adding RCD protection and earthing to a small inverter?
Or making reliable high current and low current connections with crimping tools?

When forums go quiet, it's a good sign. It means we are probably too busy with non virtual freinds or our family. I only come on here when I'm bored... Actually, the banter on here is better than what I experience in the non virtual world so...may Thunderboat live long and prosper..
