Nonsense MM, I was using the royal we of course.

reetpetite... there's a new thread now :)

...and it works BEE-OOOOH-TEA-FULLY!!

[reetpetite]

Yeah Yippee !

[puzzled]

I posted a msg about a reports of a wierd woman in peckham rye park allegedly trying to feed poisoned treats to dogs. the posting seems to have been deleted. why is this? as a dog walker on the rye, I can assure you that the dog owners are all really concerned about it. I wanted to know if anyone knew about it. it seems I shall never find out. perhaps a list of prohibitions could be published, as you chucked out an perfectly innocent enquiry about water main works in friern road last week. I am aware of your intensely liberal attitude to knife wielding young people in lordship lane, but a forum is a place for all sorts of thoughts, likes, dislikes and attitudes. if there are to be restrictions based on your hostility to some of us then maybe you should look at yourself.

How rude of you puzzled. Admin's ball, admin's rules. If you don't like them, bugger off.

Erm...puzzled...do you mean this thread?

messagemad woman in peckham rye park

Posted by: puzzled Yesterday, 05:20PM

much anxiety among dog walkers in this park. they have been warned that a strange woman with long grey hair is trying to feed poisoned snacks to the dogs. can't find anyone who has sen her. might be another urban myth like the peckham panther or the surrey puma, but if is true it is really terrifying.

Because it is still there...it is in the Lounge...

Dear Admin

how 'private' are private messages?

The only people to read them are the sender and the recipient, even the email message that says "you have a new private message" does not contain the message (although it does contain the subject line).

I hope that answers your question.

[Narnia]

Yes, thank you.

Hello -

Has there been a cull of older messages? I've been trying to track down a couple of tradespeople that I've found on the EDF, at least one of whom I also recommended on the forum a couple of years ago -- have searched my own messages (which end at 2008 for some reason) and also every possible keyword combination -- but no dice. Is this a blip, or have some messages been wiped?

Thanks

Agathoise

[mockney piers]

The search defaults to 'last 30 days'. Make sure you do 'all time', or whatever it says, on the drop down in the search page. Or you an search for your own messages instead of key words.

It'll be there somewhere. You could even try on google as most of our content is cached on there too.

[agathoise]

Hi MP -- and thanks for your response. I have searched for all words, all dates; I have pulled up all of my mss through the search, I've also gone into my own mss through my profile (I used to build search engines so know a little about getting the most out of DBs :-). My own messages cut off the first 25 or so postings I made on the EDF (including the ones I was looking for -- there are only 50-odd messages showingout or 75 that I've posted). No worries -- I've found the phone numbers I needed elsewhere -- but there is definitely a black hole somewhere in the EDF!

Interestingly, the Google cached results don't have what I'm looking for either, so the postings (and the threads they were in) may have been lost a few months ago.

Cheers,

Agathoise

Hi

Last week we had a clean up of the forum database and posts in the wanted section over 6 months old were deleted. The database was 1.4Gb in size and now it's half that and the forum's running quicker.

Google cache does not cache the forum.

Sorry for any inconvenience but we had to loose the old messages.

Or you could try here?

[Huguenot]

Google have even cached some of Alan Dale's unwanted observations. They're all there for the taking ;-)

Mind you, it would take considerable immorality to revist them.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

You are very frisky tonight, Huguenot. Is it the full moon?

[RosieH]

Dear Admin,

Please could we have a section for largely tame but mostly tedious smut: the type that lacks the wit of a Carry On film and the titillation of real porn?

Thanks y'all

Hi RosieH

Creating a Tedious Smut Room would only encourage it which is not something we wish to do, we would prefer it to be ignored and have to retreat from the forum, rather like someone with an awkward "I've got Chlamydia" tattoo on their forehead at an orgy.

[brum]

Dear rosieH

I suspect that the request for a separate room is not a serious one, but your intent is to raise the issue which bothers you into the public domain. As I was the OP for the naughtiness thread, and I know this one in particular bothers you because you've raised it before, I feel I need to respond. First of all, i am against any post that breaks forum rules, is offensive or personal, pornographic, or anything else which may be hurtful or offensive to others. The humour on the naughtiness thread and one or two others (but certainly not the majority) is certainly not to everyones liking and may be distasteful to some. I can relate totally to this as I too find some threads to be tedious and sometimes distasteful. My own response to such threads - and the response of most people I guess - is to simply ignore them, as Admin suggests you do in this case. This forum thrives because of the diversity it's users bring and I think it is much the better for it.

Are you coming to the drinks on Friday? I would like to say hi and I promise I won't be smutty.
