    It's crazy how long people have been posting on here over the years. I often wonder about Bob Charles as he just stopped posting and never closed his account, which is unusual. I propably miss his and Reiligs contributions the most.

    I often wondered about Bob myself, he was a minefield of info. Think reilig is Still going over on forum4farming.

    Going back a while here, JohnGalway, I used always enjoy his posts while he was modding here.

    And even older, was it shanemccarrick, can't remember the spelling, used mod here as well but had to leave after being doxxed by a rogue poster from elsewhere on here?

    Ya I think taht was it, he was NBF after. TBH his was very lowly stocked on what seemed a goodish west of Ireland farmer. He drew his payments and worked the system. I taught he had his system off to a T.

    Friend is doing something similar. 40 acres rented, finishes 25-30 heifers, makes surplus silage, takes in slurry from lads that have nitrates issues. He spends no more than 12-15 hours/week on the farm as it is rented land and it is 3-4 miles from him.

    The NBF account was the first, when he was looking for help with a bullock with a ball. After that he decided to tell everyone how to farm with a few different accounts.

    Ah fun times :D:pac:

    Kowtow and Bob Charles were two of my favorites, a mine of information and always eager to show a different view point than the majority. There was another lad from Clare who's moniker I've forgotten that was always up to something interesting. It intrigue's me to watch the posting style of the "newbies" developing, many of them seem surprisingly familiar.

    Another thing that interests me is usernames and there selection. Some are self explanatory or most likely random but others are representative of popular culture or similar.

    I can't settle to using twitter at all and no harm cause there would be no work done. I prefer Boards and spend enough time on it :)

    I like Twitter. Great for the local GAA. They do a score by score update for most games. The Limousin society also do live updates for auctions.

    I find it good for international news like the BBC News (World) but I can't get the hang of posting in a conversation, iykwim.

    Most posters are good in fairness. I not sure how many of you are on twitter. A couple anyway.
    People can be ****ing horrible though, I remember one poster getting dogs abuse, thankfully came back in a different alias. I don't speculate on who people are in real life. I have met a couple who have helped me in fairness. I'd meet more only I'm very shy in 'reality'

    There was a couple of people who posted pictures of wonderful scenery. Is it my imagination or are less pictures being posted maybe afraid of giving identity away.

    Twitter is fine for following certain things that interest me, there's lots of very knowledgeable posters there. And lots of lunatics too, they can be very funny when they get offended:D
