It used to be so much fun.......

I don't think Feek's being egotistical by announcing his departure. More like, he's trying to make a point. Taking his thread in conjunction with his thread a few weeks ago, the reasoning is fairly obvious.

He does care about this forum... he just doesn't want to see it go down the drain. At the moment, for him it's gone too far. I guess that's reasonable.

Agreed. He cared enough about the forum in the past to be an admin here, and he cares enough about his friends who still reside here to let them all know he's leaving.

I can't believe the lack of respect some people are showing for a long time member who is obviously fed up with the way things have gone If you don't care that he's leaving, why post?

Echo this 100%. That someone who obviously dedicated a lot of his personal time to the forums has been dismissed so offhandedly is just rude.

omg, the only tool around here son is you, so please be quiet, you talk complete crap and id actually cheer if you left this forum.

If i was fed up with reading the forum i think i'd just not return for a while and then pop in and see what the crack is. I dont see the point of making a thread saying that your leaving as your obviously going to come back every now and again and then it'll be awkward posting. Why not just read threads that interest you?, I'm sure there must be what you consider to be good threads about. I hope you decide to stay as you've made some decent posts, especially the beer threads etc.

Talking about the reasons risks often results in other people getting suspended / banned, and thats why no one talks about it.. but if you keep your eyes open and do even a tiny amount of digging around the real reasons soon appear.
We've already had two long time regular people suspended for what were polite comments about a situation (Seems politeness went out of fashion... *shrug*) and thats offended more than a few people. I wouldn't be surprised to find Feek is one of them, but I also suspect with Feek its just icing on the cake. I also wonder how many of the offended ones are hardly daring to post not wishing to join the suspended numbers. I know I almost didn't post this myself. When it all comes down to it, those of us that have been in the community love this place and the people in it. Its usually been fairly moderated, and its been fantastic to have a place not filled with the usual kind of rubbish that proliferates most other forums.

Who knows, maybe I'll be shot down even for this post?

I think part of the problem stems from the very thing that has made OcUK such a success - the community. Back when I joined (6 years ago) very few people knew each other off the forums, but over time, through various meets over the years, there is a large community here that extends to real friendship off the forums. If something happens to someone on here, there is often a real life friend who is also a member who will find out and be annoyed by it. This has happened several times over the years, and will continue to happen unless the community is completely destroyed, which I think would be a huge loss to the forums.

How very brave. Well done you. A personal attack on someone who no longer comes here. Have a cookie. :rolleyes:

See; what I don't understand is the need for a melodramatic "The end has come, I must leave now...Make sure Little Timmy gets his medicine" type thread. I've seen it many times before on many forums and, as Spie has noted above, they invariably come back...sometimes in another guise.

If you're leaving, leave. No need to make a song and dance about it.

I dont really have any feeling on this topic other than to read it, but I think you are on a one way trip to.... well not posting here or anywhere else on this forum anytime shortly..... Feek had many friends here.... plus being a don aint going to make you a real load of friends to help on matters of any nature here..... just my thoughts.... chill dude... if you dont like the post, you dont have to think aloud.....
