Topic: Forum stats

I've been member of this forum pretty much from day one and all though I don't post anything and I hardly bother to make anything these days, I still look in from time to time just to see if there have been any major developments.  I must say that I tend to agree with George, that this 'whats for dinner' nonsense has pretty much destroyed this forum.

I have to agree I've been on this forum since it started and it used to be fantastic, full of recipes, ideas and good-hearted banter, but sadly that was all ruined by 'Josephine'.

I can't say how depressed it makes me looking at photos of food being cooked.

Considering you have only been a member of this forum as of Today at 05:05:04 PM
You really are full of fluff aren't you?

Unless you are an active member that is not brave enough to make these comments from there actual account.

Sorry Scotty, I also forgot to mention your input and the dedicated Chinese section is great.

Thanks mate! I'm glad some people like them LOL

You're right Scotty this forum was much better when it was just BIR recipes. So why don't you take all your Chinese crap, put it in a bag and **** *** [moderated]

The Chinese section was here a long time before Scotty got here, It's always been here, which is more than you can say, Now sling your hook back to whatever stone you crawled out from under.
Thanks Scotty for your helping in keeping the Chinese section going, much appreciated

Oh happy day 

Might as well throw my two bob's worth in to the melee.

All this animosity seems to have started after the arch-attention-seeker Madrasandy persuaded his little friend, Steven, to publicise his book on here. When the book didn't receive the out-and-out acclaim that Andy and Steve expected, they stamped their little feet and disappeared from view - no great loss in my view. I thought they may have taken that Michelin Star chef LittleChild with them, but alas no).

Still at least that leaves the front page open for others to show off their wares instead of the usual visually identical array of curries from Andy LC and CT. These three condescending twats do more to discourage new members from joining and existing members from participating more, than the Josephine thread could ever manage.

I have no issues with the Josephine thread - as someone said in another thread, this would be a very boring place if it had no social side and all we did was post a curry pic/recipe then bugger off. I, for one, quite enjoy seeing the different meals served up by my fellow forumsters. I don't eat curry every day, nor am I anal about BIR, so a little variety is welcome.

So lighten up guys and gals

Guys,I normally stay out of this rubbish but.....Let's try to be nice to each other eh? The forum is a great place for anything BIR,better than any 'authentic' cookbook that's out there at the moment.I don't care much for the non BIR posts or pictures of last night's dinner either,but if that's what people want to post then so be it.

The forum has become far from boring in the last few months,I have been given full access to a genuine BIR takeaway kitchen from which I have posted numerous recipes and observations,which I will continue to do for those who are interested in BIR cooking.Hopefully other members may get access to kitchens themselves and do the same instead of just causing arguments.

Cheers JB

I've been a bit slow on the uptake and just worked out what our new troll's user name is backwards, it what he/she talks.

Well put Sir!

I agree completely. A little Variety is a good thing and a forum needs a social aspect if you expect people to actually become engaged with the forum.

The only reason i share recipes here is because of that social aspect and the variety found. You develop connections with the forum and people and it makes you want to be a bigger part of it.

If it was just a "BIR recipe forum" With nothing else going on, i would have visited once, grabbed whatever i wanted and never returned. As i have done with many forums in the past.

As i have stated before, i am not even a fan of BIR. But i am still a regular here because of the other happenings going on and am slowly getting into the BIR scene.

LOL nice catch. Didn't notice that.

Like i mentioned, i am sure it is a regular member that isn't brave enough to speak up on there normal account.
Maybe someone already mentioned in this thread.
