It is somewhat ironic that the best thread we have had on here for months is about the death of the forum .

Really??? Whatever the viewpoint, and I have mine - the forum is done. See you on The Pin /Bitter End or whatever the flavour of the month will be. Last post of mine here. Bye all 👍👋🏿 Edited by Chris_H - 12 Mar 23 at 9:24pm |

One advantage with 'The Pin end' is that a certain person can be completely blocked out of your life

Speaking as one of his followers rather than supporter, toxic one liners from about half a dozen regular negative posters, who regularly managed to shut down flowing threads have done more harm.

Unfortunately, he still continues to post BS. His recent post on The Pin End on FB about ILCA builders ‘adjusting’ their moulds to make their boats faster is utter BS and completely without foundation. I called him out publicly on the group even though I got a mild slap. He still continues to troll. Sorry, but he and his supporters are toxic to informed debate and contribute to the death of either forums or FB groups

Jimc, I always castigated iGRF for his probably illegal posts, illegal as in slander (is written slander ?
).Y&Y should have dealt with it.

I see the same thing on a non-sailing sport forum. One (mainly) poster raising levels of toxicity….that one was going downhill until the addition of a ‘foe’ (ignore) button.
