| | | | | What a strange assumption to make.
I think there are far bigger and more important issues driving people away from EF than a few pathetic hacking attempts.

A few things on there I certainly didn't know, who'd have thought it | | | | | Any chance you have a screen shot... it must of been deleted when everything was deleted.
I always liked his shaggy dog posts ever since I joined pre moving here and asked about toilet seats.

Now im confused - was there a goodbye flounce post or not? And more importantly, does a duck really have a corkscrew penis?
fare thee well, DB

I am so very saddened that several of our most valued, and valuable, members have decided to leave the forum. EF will be a poorer place without them.
So to DB, and Swisstree, and Sandgrouder, those who are still contemplating leaving, and many other long time members who have faded away:
I am very grateful for your time and contributions. You all have helped me over a fair few Swiss hurdles and brought a smile to my face on many an otherwise grey day. So thank you all, very much.
I'm sure I am not alone - many of us arrived in Switzerland similarly confused, without support, uncertain of what we had got ourselves into. EF was the place many of us finally found a welcoming soundboard and indeed a lifeline.
I wish we could get back to that spirit.

To the posters who seem to revel in promoting a more toxic - yes, I am using that word deliberately - tone to the forum:
Please take a moment to remember why EF exists, why it was meant to be something different from the usual gumpf out there in the ether, and read Mark's opening post here: https://www.englishforum.ch/announce...our-forum.html | The following 32 users would like to thank meloncollie for this useful post: | 3Wishes, Belgianmum, Big Mara, Blueangel, Caleb, doropfiz, Glenda Jackson, greenmount, hairybadger, herc82, HIAO, Joolie, Kittster, latigresse, MathNut, McTAVGE, MsWorWoo, olygirl, Ouchboy, porsch1909, Raffles, roegner, stephen_NE, swissotter, swisspea, Textoch, zia2001, ZuriRollt |
