If Peterboat is anything like me, he attends CWDF for sensible on-thread technical discussions, and here for pointless rambling self-indulgence. Was that intended for the benefit of CWDF or a serious comment? If a serious comment then at the risk of this being called a self indulgent gin induced haze...fuck off and stay over there! TB is not your dustbin! edit ...honesty compelled me to add "self indulgent" rather than delete the whole thing! but good grief you make me cross! I believe that TellyMackus was merely pointing out that both forums have a very different dynamic and that Thunderboat has a far more laissez-faire attitude towards personal opinion being expressed than CWDF, which is largely used as a vehicle to promote the site owner's megalomania.

Shame that those self same on-thread technical discussions are often filled with inaccurate, incorrect and sometimes dangerous advice passed off as concrete facts by self appointed experts, aided and abetted by a cohort of mindless sycophants.

Β Pixar Rules!Β ...and Ive had more than enough gin for nowΒ I'll forgive youπ after all friday night is gin night, but his comment was actually about the original thread it just came after we have way wondered of topic. I thought Andrew's comment was funny and he was being ironic.

I disagree that this is the norm. There are of course the occasional such threads but generally, the final outcome for the reader is the right message. Well it is for any threads Iβm involved in, anyway. Whereas on here, by page 2 it has typically degenerated into yet another pointless spat between (at least) 2 sexually frustrated, drunk, bored and friendless people.

Is that a classicists way of saying CWDF is boring ? As things stand today, perhaps this is how things are meant to be - CWDF being the staid (sedate, respectable, and unadventurous) site for boaters, and TB being a more 'off the cuff' site. Whenever I have popped over to glance at CWDF it's evident it's more polite tittering at lame 'jokes' (in the knowledge that all is supervised by moderators who are a bit like zealous traffic wardens waiting to pounce), whereas TB is more of a relaxed medium with a liberal dollop of English humour yet has no qualms about dealing with serious issues and topics. Both sites running along their own course now, the only disruption being when trolls from CWDF nip over once a month to try to derail TB or, at least, cause some general disruption.

Having just caught up after a long spell marooned aboard my boat in the flooded Trent with only very unreliable and spasmodic internet for most of the time, I've just now finished wading through pages of semi-hysterical mindlessness on this thread.
Did it not occur to anyone that the mysterious banner could well be nothing more than a piece of mischief making on the part of one or more of the insufferable tosspots who exclusively inhabit only CWDF, and were largely responsible for creating the need for TB in the first place ?

Yes it does seem that way today doesn't it. I'd rather be cross and militant on TB's behalf though than see it dragged through your tainted version of it. At least 880 guests tonight gave you a good audience. However, 879 of them were bots and one was a mistaken hit from someone looking for the forum about toilets called βThunderboxβ.

Yes, my first thought. However, it is suspicious that D9 has not commented. Anyway, what's wrong with some hysterical mindlessness once in a while? It's cheaper than gin.
