… take everyone on the forum to Disneyland for a fortnight all expenses paid.
There’d be no point in takling you- you’d be on your bloody laptop all day, logging onto TRF!
Grassy what really IS dragging the forum down is people keep complaining about other peoples posts. Now trust me there is nothing more irritating than that. People are scared to breathe in case someone moans.
Don’t like a topic – Ignore it – it really is that simple.
I am not complaining about any posts, Flash. In fact, I’ve been very careful not to do so.
What I have said is that posting how much a member has won/lost in monetary terms, is a complete waste of time, given the total absence of awareness of said members means.
You’d be as well posting the name and address of the shop you had the bet in too.
And like Drone says – talk of money is just a little grubby when your amongst what are, essentially, strangers.

Childish uneducated uninformative ignorant here!
That’s the last time I stick up for Jonjo, you fathead!.
The Racing Forum has been a home to passionate debate and intelligent discussion for horse racing enthusiasts since 2000.
Cormack and his team are doing a great job in keeping going what Craig/Daylight started , but we as members must help out too and the way we help is by keeping the forum as above
If you want something else then you may as well bury the TRF at the side of Craig
Rather tasteless, Charlie, even if I don’t disagree with the overall sentiments.
I know that the job of moderator on a racing forum would come 2nd only to that of Fist of Fury’s typist in jobs I really don’t want.
Thats it

"Why not change your username to Colin instead?"
Apologies for confusing you, Mr. Caine, but I’m not sure I know how to do that, I am a bird of very little brain!

oh my word Charlie don’t disappear on us. US racing livening up soon, we need someone to talk to about it. You’re the man who knows!
come back..
Surely the eclectic nature of the mix between prolific posters and the more measured posters is what makes the forum what it is?
I’ve been sneered at for selections, which I’ve been told have no chance. Ignore it, follow your instincts and make money like I did.
I think Bosranic’s post earlier was the most sensible I’ve read in this thread.
Are those eggshells I see before me?
To post or not post, that is the question ?
Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
Suggestions: Why not have a separate section for the Cheltenham championship races. Something like The TRF Awards section, with all opinions on runners going in there. At the moment the main board is full of Katchit, Kauto, Denman, Katchit, Kauto, Denman and frankly its brain damage. Anything else Cheltenham related could stay on the main page.
Agreed. There is one other forum out there that for the last couple of years has routinely set up an entirely different page just before Christmas, upon which individual threads for each of the Cheltenham Festival are then set up. Notwithstanding that it is admittedly less busy than TRF, this expedient has still managed to divert nearly all the Festival traffic from the main Forum pretty neatly.
I mention this not as a plug for that forum, but rather as a possible model of best practice which TRF may derive some benefit from adopting.

I think Colin has hit the nail on the head. It isn’t the volume of posts that defines this forum, rather the manner in which people conduct themselves.
…
Essentially I feel people should conduct themselves on the forum as they would in person rather than feeling that the anonymity of the internet gives them licence to be abusive or unpleasant.
Precisely. Disagreements are inevitable on any Forum which invites opinion on a subject matter, but abuse should not be. There are ways and means to get across a point.

54 new or updated threads since I last logged on (Saturday morning).
Certainly a change from all those threads over the years asking where all the threads had gone!
If this is the future can I suggest people put plenty of thought into getting the titles to their threads spot on – I’m obviously not the only one who’s stopped reading them all.
I don’t suppose we could have a facility to search on the names of posters?
