Anyone know why this board seems so bloody basic?

[EricL]

I guess it is something that has been bothering me for a while but i have never asked. Why is it so behind the times guys?

I don't want it to turn into an 'all-singing-and-dancing' flashy ad-filled nightmare like some others - but surely they can up-date it a little so we don't have to type stuff like smileys in and other basic things that are too numerous to mention?

I know there is some discussion topics occasionally about the changes that people would like to make to it - but i am confused as to why it actually hasn't been updated to move with the times before now.

There doesn't seeem to be any presence of staff/moderators either - apart from deleted posts. (Not that it is sophisticated enough to show who they are anyway....) It just seems very strange to me as i work for other websites that are not the fanciest out there - but are technically miles ahead of this.

Finance?

lol aitch

that is awful. Her face screams I FEEL WRECKED

sorry, it's on her living room wall. i do apologise. come on now, flame me. i'm waiting.

jo36wee is appropriately named. She is, actually, taking a piss on a commode if you look closely.

I think she wanted to look Rubenesque. I also think it didn't work ..

ah, good to see a pic of a semi-naked pregster brings you back into the fold, desi. hope you're getting on well.

why does she look so cross?

she looks constipated

hello desi

I'm doing very well, thank you Aitch

And hello to you, Cat!

i think i had my first haemor haemmorh arse ruby by 37 weeks, so that might explain the expression.

I thought you flounced Desi??! I saw a dramatic thread about it.. I think I posted on it.

I'm glad you have not flounced.

nope, she never flounced, she just wanted a few days off.

Hi ,Desi, attention seeking saddo much missed friend.

Does this thread hold the world record for "hi-jacks per post"?

oh the value of previewing!

Naah, I find it impossible to deal with you whilst sober

... I think JV told you, but the map of Norway line was the funniest thing I've read in light years. So true, so true. Glad to see you defending the aesthetics of the bollock. Far nicer, imo.

Such style, Des.

Desi - Yay!

How the devil are you?

• Um, is this another unfortunate Freudulation? (Its a word)

No JV! it's an oblique ref. to Aitch's assertion on another thread that pointy was being pasted on this one. Am metorphorically standing beside pointy with said brush, saying "bring it!"....also metaphorically you understand.....

Yes, I caught that, JV. So all along it was a paste brush, eh?

Well, my dear friend JV. Since Eric has left the building, I see no reason why this thread can't be hijacked.

I am doing splendidly well! No booze for four nights now ....

DH is working all night, and I got fed up of making paper airplanes, so I thought I'd climb aboard the good ship MN for a while.

Three days feels like three years, it must be said

Fantastic, bloody fantastic!
How you doing on the Lucozade front?
...heading more towards the straw coloured end of the spectrum yet?

< welcome back, Desi >

Ah! TnOgu ... my life is complete

Robinsons Barley Water! That's the colour

Whaaaaa...??

lolol

Did you get the daisy chain I left on your leaving thread?

I arrived too late and you were gone...

but

you're back

Thank God..
