No social media for me either. I am not that interested on the latest hilarious comment someone's obnoxious child came out with, or what some stranger who calls themselves a friend has had for dinner.
Or what time their kid woke them up, or when they walked the dog or emptied their bin.... Jeeeeeeezuschristalmighty!
Ive had two, one months bans from Facebook in the past.... no surprises there, huh!

I doubt that.
On every forum there will always be one or two who slag people off, but I was there for years and am still a member, NF was a nice place to post and the majority of the people were lovely.
Agreed.
Newsfix is angelic compared to other forums..!
No re writing of forum history and all the other boring trolling that goes on elsewhere happens on NF. Posters are refreshingly honest too. Ben is a fair impartial owner which helps and there isn't any guest posting.
Speaking as a guest myself I am effectively critiquing being given a right to air my view however forums which allow guest posting do tend to have more trolling. It is a bit unfair to condemn guest posters if you welcome them on your forum. That means you too, welcome drama.
Or if you truly don't, remove the privilege to post anonymously.
I make no secret that I'm not struck on guest posting, most of the time it's just a platform for cowards imo.
It's not my forum though, and CM has always had guest posting, so obviously I am happy to go along with it, if I wasn't I wouldn't be here.
It is just a platform for cowards, I agree, nor am I keen on it.
And thank you for kindly approving my own guest post that I don't in my own opinion, approve of..! :embarrassed:
In response to the OP though, no I don't think forums have had their day. Alot of posters have left but that was due to conflict, not lack there of.
It might be entertaining and jolly japes for people reading but arguing isn't all that fun for the posters involved. I think forums hopefully will improve being smaller because folk will know each other better and become more tolerant of contrasting views.

Lol....but I bet your bans were for something more interesting than posting a photo of what you had for tea last night.

OK...each to their own. I still doubt that's why Poca was banned though.

I've done that in the past. Here's one I made earlier.

Show off.
I'm going to show off some more too.
None of that sundae is edible. It's all fake. Made entirely from plaster, acrylic paint and resin.
Wonderful!
Show off and a clever clogs.
Anyway...here's one I made earlier.
I'd still eat it
I couldn't stand those. I hated the chocolate and the ice cream was shit. What were they called? Viennetta or something.
Yes Vienetta. I loved em, in fact I bought one from th Co-op not long ago, on special offer for just £1.
Synthetic icecream.
Arctic roll I thought was better.
I used to love Arctic Roll
Me too, with double cream over the top .
