I would also be happy to use "real name" posting only.

So you're not really the taxman? That's a relief.

And +1 regarding the fees if this helps keeping the trash out.

If it means paying a fee Im in its to good of a forum to let go ,its become part of my life i wish i could do something but my computing skills are very limited may be in the very near future it might start up again i hope so, i hope you are ok Malcom i think i can speak for the rest of us we are 100% behind you Thank you once again!

I have read your post regarding the 'locking' of this forum. 

Before it is finally locked I'd like to say that I am sorry that it has come to this and to thank you for your had work and dedication in the past. If you do decide to go the subscription route in the future, as some here have suggested, please let me know as I'd be only to pleased to subscribe.

It is a shame that the few have spoiled if for the many.

So long

Damn I only just joined this forum, a lot of good stuff to read.

Don't get how anyone could cause trouble

They're called morons. If you take a careful look around you, you'll notice that they are running the world these days, let alone disrupting sensible forums.

I do like the real name only for posters , and photo ID as avatar would be another good thing as a deterrent I think , being able to hide behind a pseudonym makes little men in to keyboard warriors easier , not so brave out in the open in my experience

Spot on Eddy!
I have said it before, if they had to repeat half of what they say on the stage in the Villa Marina after the presentations, you would not get a peep out of them! They do not like people knowing who they are.
 I found out who Douglas Dan was on the old site, confronted him, and we did not here a peep from him since.

Now's the time, spill the beans!

shame a minority of morons has made this difficult for Malcolm to run this great service.its my first place to go online before,and during the tt and for weeks after too,the other tt website was always swamped by nutters after the tt ,talking garbage half the time. hopefully it goes quieter now and Malcolm changes his mind. Manx forums.com has a £10 join fee to contribute, this may be a way to keep casual keyboard commandos at bay? this could go to the rob vine fund or similar.

This is a real shame but I can see why Malcolm is taking this action, don't let the vile idiots get you down mate, good to see you'll carry on the news postings though. Thanks for letting me be a member.

Many Thanks to Malcolm for all the hard work over the years,
And i will echo what everybody else is saying, its the small number that spoil it for the rest, like so many things in life these days,

From a personal point of view, I would like to Thank everybody that has helped out with doing the recent Q/A pieces, there were a few more in the pipeline,,
It has been fun compiling the questions up, working alongside Malcolm to make sure they were PC,,, Lol

Thanks all,
Benjies Dad Woof Woof
