RIP Y&Ying forum?

Ironically it was a year ago almost to the day when things dissolved into the realms of the unnecessary and it was a robust discussion over the 505 and wether or not a more modestly equipped boat to a price point might be more effective than my opinion which was the Alto could have done exactly that. Naturally my 'foible' of blaming the PYAG came into play and then for some reason and I can't honestly remember why 'trans' issues came into play, these day they seem to have trumped Godwins law in bringing discussion to an end. I think it was the ID known at the time as G****cat who forced my hand so I left him to it and since then there have been no controversial discussions, it turns out he flounced anyway. However as I said in my delayed post on page seven, without controversy there can be 'no-one wrong on the internet' to keep us keyboard warriors up all night. So we look elsewhere. Now if you think fb is an appropriate place better think again, you get to go to fb jail if you so much as breath controversial comment for example involving pies and keys. Truth is as I previously explained this place was a garden of peace and love compared with many forums I've visited over the twenty odd years I've been involved in Astroturfing, trolling or simply amusing myself with banter, so I would be really sad to see it go and I really hope whatever Mark has up his sleeve to replace, rebuild, renew or simply overhaul continues. Now in support of Salcombe pirate we met at the Forum open where I also met many folk who posted here at the time and it's a shame it didn't become an annual event. It was he that gave you the 'Fuller Number'he's a really nice and clever guy in real life and in fact I'm probably not the total t**ser that I may appear to be here. Actually meeting and getting to know folk is the perfect antidote to any anger that may be generated by place like this, you get to know if the opponent of your views is a dick or not, like any bar, pub or social meeting place, that's what's missing.

Welcome back Griff by the way I think your bubbles in foam sandwich would work if the bubbles were helium, boat would float above the water

I never left, Mr Fuller 😀

Originally posted by iGRF   Why have you not all been talking about the multiple Laser builders ruining that class thanks to the ILCA and they're doing nothing about it? That claim I made is fact from probably the most reliable builder source. I would have thought these two facts alone are the worse affront to class racing folk who show such disdain towards us handicap mongrels? (I'm currently actually not a mongrel at the moment in my Contender if ever the weather permits me to get on the water this season, but thinking of making a return to mongrelworld due to injury issues)

Ttc546, perhaps post it yourself? I haven't seen anything about it.
