Is this a record?

cee-dee — Mon, 22 May 2017 19:13:11 GMT

Today the RT went eight hours without a post.

The RT has hit a new low, where have the regulars gone?

Wow, 8 hours!. That is a lot of no chattering.

At least I wasn't missed as all know I am a quiet littleme.

Maybe all are still out sunbathing.

A mystery to me!

I wonder why no one came to chatter,

Possibly something was the matter.

But one things for sure,

We should all post more,

Or RT's battery will go flatter and flatter.

The reason for there being no chatter

Ebay changed all the boards that matter

They got rid of the old Q&A

They banned posters who'd have their say

So the once fun boards got flatter and flatter

The silence is indeed a shame,
Goodness knows who is to blame,
For me there is one who fits the bill,
One who killed off posters at will,
These days RT is a quiet old place
Lost in time like a ghost in cyber space,
We remain under scrutiny by bots and stuff
And that's why many have had enough,

Now our Archie and our Claire

Have such a brilliant poetic flare

For why many posters have gone

To that big abyss that is over yon

As some of us of that were unaware.

Posters come and posters go,

Why they do that I don't know.

I know that some don't mind their words.

They write and sound like utter nerds.

I think that soon the mods must say "Just go"?

CD i do hope it's not me you're calling a nerd

The name itself I find quite absurd

I know that I can sometimes waffle on

But would you really want to see me gone

Some may not entirely agree with me

Some views of mine not their cup of tea

But the RT now I like to visit

I do hope the mods decide to keep it.

Should this thread be renamed "Poets Corner"?

Re: Is this a record?

fallen-archie — Sat, 27 May 2017 10:14:42 GMT

Poets corner? Indeed that evokes past memories of threads that caused all sorts of kerfuffle! No it is just a bit of friendly rhyming tongue in cheek stuff that is harmless👍

Re: Is this a record?

**bustysinclaire** — Sat, 27 May 2017 10:26:51 GMT

Yes all harmless xx

But to get back on topic, it would be a great shame if we did lose our forums but we cannot make people post, I can honestly say if it wasn't for all your loyal posters they could very well have been pulled before now xxx

You can take someone to the boards but you can't make him post eh?

Re: Is this a record?

littleme61_6 — Sat, 27 May 2017 13:02:41 GMT

Pull up a chair and have a seat,

'cos all in here enjoy to meet

Have some fun, read the news

Nice to know we all have views,

Hopefully longer we will have RT

Then all that visit will be happy.

Why thank you ma'am I Will indeed
We only have to post agreed?
But that is easier said than done,
As ideas go I have not one,
Yet still things happen day in day out,
It only takes a moment to shout,
Then once more we can debate,
All those things our lives create,
Sit tight littleun as the election nears,
We have our haven free from tears,
Unless of course you are a crock
In which case it is time to rock😇
