Hi
Just a quick thank you to Kallis and Skippy for their help in moderating the forum. Also lady h and others for their support
Moderating this forum is difficult and time consuming, we all have our "real" jobs to do and look after this forum, and offer support, in our own time.
Sometimes decisions have to be made that are, on the face of it, not popular but you have to appreciate that there are many posts and communications that I see and act on that never reach the forum.
I am sure that I do not get it right all the time, however I think that I do MOST of the time and would appreciate everyones support if, and when, I have to remove people from this forum.
Regards

Thank you Andy.
I know that people are only removed when necessary and it isn't always popular with those posters.
Once done though, it should be forgotten, and posts should not be hijacked to get the original posters points across.

You do a great job Andy, and have done for the three years or so I have been posting on the forum. Everyone understands the rules of posting on the forum when they join, and it is sad sometimes when things do not work out, or when posters feel that they have been unfairly treated.
This forum is much bigger than one person, which is clear with the very fine work that Kallis, Skippy and the other regular posters put in. It is a privilege and not a right to be a guest on this site, and it is us who should be thanking you for making it what it is today.

just to reiterate a point I have made a few times, I have found this forum invaluable over the past seven months since I first started reading it and even though my IVA has now been approved, I look on here almost daily and have found almost everyone supportive and have received some lovely comments from my blog. Long may you continue![:)]

Andy - I think you and the others do a marvellous job. We all have to remember the forum is here to give advice and support -if we have any issues with the running of the forum , its easy to send an email to admin.
Thanks for your work on the forum Andy, Skippy, Kallis and others x

Thanks Andy. It's a shame when people have to be locked out but it's only ever done with good reason, and it's sad that things like this sometimes spoil the forum.

In the time i have been on this forum, i have watched it grow and go from strength to strength. The support everyone gives each other is amazing.
I remember many sleepless nights in a really dark place untill i found this place.
I hope this forum will be around for a long time to come and i hope to remain a part of it.
Well done guys xxxxxx

I hope you are as well Mrs S. It was great to meet you, and once Viki has her new arrival, we will have to try and time our visits so that we are there at the same time!
I agree that 99% of the posters are fine, it is just the odd one or two who spoil it. Thankfully, admin and Andy are around to sort that out.

I love it. I may not post as much as i used to but i do check in every single day and answer anything that hasnt yet been answered.
I just remember how much comfort i got when i first started posting and its good when you can pass that comfort on to other people who are in the same dark place i was back then.
Long live this forum!!!

Any genuine poster is welcome on this forum. It is about helping and advising people who are struggling with their debts.

Anybody abusing the forum will be removed. If you have genuine questions regarding debts then ask away.
