    REPORTS OF MY DEATH (TRF) HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED (even if it is a misquotation)

    Many thanks for taking on the upgrades and changes Corm. I think this site
    is the best that is on offer without doubt. I maybe haven’t been here as
    many years as some, so can’t comment on historical volumes, but I enjoy
    visiting the site regularly, and contributing a bit. I can imagine the
    day to day upkeep of the site is pretty time consuming, its certainly
    a labour of love, and certainly not done for the financial gain.

    Having said all that, I’m glad this was raised by Joe, and it’s
    fair to say that some changes were needed. I don’t know the daily volume
    of posts that went through before Joe raised this issue, but to my eye,
    since it being raised, there seems to have been a greater input on the
    site by people (myself included) who perhaps realised that we all have
    a responsibility to contribute to keep this forum the way we want it to
    be.

    I look forward to the changes, and keep up the good work, it’s not
    unappreciated :good:

    Thanks, David.

    Humans are herd animals, I think the main forum will regenerate, if you put the Big Races and Festival/Royal Ascot sections back into it again.

    Moderation has always been good on here, Pinza the only blip I can think of in many years.

    Ricky, why are you back as “Double Bank”, you weren’t banned were you?

    Nice work CR, do you moonlight as a member of Anonymous and Wikileaks?

    Tormentor, Ricky Lake, Mr Pilsen, Graham The Good, Double Bank

    One and the same :yes:

    There’s a terrific post from him over in t’lounge; he’d presumably been let out of his straitjacket for a few hours

    Winding up the winders up: no wonder the clock’s buggered :wacko:

    :scratch:

    If Ricky was/is Mr Pilsen then he deserves poster of year for the past 4 years……

    Cant see it though

    Tormentor/Mr .P/Double Bank
    Ricky Lake/Graham the Good/etc

    the post in the lounge is a copy over from betfair written by Ricky on betfair posted up by DB on here

    Horse Racing incorporating Big Races (including Big Meetings), DLAP, Systems, Memorials as stickies
    Competitions
    Other Sports
    Lounge
    Archive

    would be my minimalist preference

    I think that makes sense. It does appear that the Horse Racing sections are too dispersed.

    Also, is there a ‘Preview’ option to posts nowadays? It seems to have gone AWOL.

    I think memorials should have it’s own section.

    This Mr .P is Ricky Lake is as bad as Mr .P being Ian Davies if not worse.
    I might be wrong, happens all the time but I’m not seeing this one for a second.

    DB will be along shortly… oops that’s me

    More chance of Drone being a bald headed, pipe smoking 90 year old

    Several correspondents have mentioned this since the brave new revamp and it’s yet to be addressed

    er…bald headed, pipe smoking nearly-but-not-quite 60 year old actually

    A morning late last April downloading my final instalment of Computer Timeform: the only way is up
    null

    Wizz-whirr, a quick read through Sleepy Hollow’s interpretation of the Whitbread Gold Cup for old times sake and yippee! manumission at last
    null

    Six month’s later, rejuvenated, back at the PC considering the future of TRF and the true identity of Double Tormentor

    For a nearly 60 year, you’ve had a hard life Drone.
    That’s a fairly chunky laptop in pic 1, bet it has a good stream.
    Warning to young gamblers, it’s not just your money you lose but your looks…..
