Haha, I have quite eclectic tastes.Nothing is on interest? Hardware, films, sports, cars, bikes, food, home improvement, crypto, investments, games, to name but a few.
I shudder to think what might actually interest you
Change to MM access after 1st January 2024

@ mods. My members market access has been removed, any chance of separating off the members wives forum and letting me have access again

It is once again the start of a new year so as we finish off the last of the leftover turkey, and open up the Champaign hoping that the new year will be better than the last, it is with great pleasure that the Moderating team take this opportunity to recognise members who we feel have...

Maybe one of those guys will take sympathy and share with you instead though
Create a thread to lobby the moderators for a forum that caters to your interest, that'll get a few posts in the bag
I have pictures of you that say different

They say the internet never forgets. Its nice someone remembers me.I have pictures of you that say different
Can we have a forum daily log/blog thread pls?I don't think others would be interested in the study of ring growth on African snails
Well based on how long both of us have been here, neither of us can really be considered meaningful contributors. If everyone posted as infrequently as we did the forum would be dead.
Maybe contribute to active discussions rather than describe your lunch mind. Although there is a thread for that.

I had some wraps made with love that consisted of ham and mayo (lite of course) where I nibbled slowly around the edges, squeezing the contents more into the middle so that the final bites consisted of creamy goodness, some of which leaked at the corner of my mouth slightly. I followed this with a pint of water and some insulin.
Keep up dear.

I don't really buy the argument that the forums exist to drive traffic to the OcUK shop. Firstly Spie made it quite clear that the forums were for us to enjoy. And nowadays there are tons of subforums nothing to do with tech, and you can spot lots of users who either have zero interest in computers nowadays, or never did. Maybe in the middle the forums attracted a lot of new customers but not 20 years ago and not now, IMO.
Case in point: I joined the forums to post a build thread, immediately decided I wanted to get access to this members market thing, and got posting. 800 posts later I didn't have access yet but had settled in to a nice community. Now I rarely check the MM and almost never look at any hardware sections. I read (and post in) GD, Home & Garden and Motors daily.
I don't really get why a small number of people have taken this so personally, it's not like they've been banned from using the forum itself. Just from benefitting from a financial perk.

There is always going to be a link between the two but you're right, we're not specifically here to push traffic to the shop and if that situation changed, I think they'd find themselves without a moderating team very quickly.
I can think of one attempt a few years ago to introduce adverts to the forum which ended well for us and badly for the person who tried to implement them.
You'll fit right in then. We're a bunch of boring ****s!
4/5 - need to add some extra emotion next time
Bye then!
