    i havent totally left.

    I suppose the twitter suited me more as i had it on the phone and didnt need to keep refreshing like boards. Im on a blackberry.

    It started getting rough on here in the back end of last year

    Look at all the interesting and knowledgeable people who have left.

    Would it be absolute standard practice that Ye dairy farmers have a back-up system for electricity, seeing as its vital for you're day to day operation?
    Or are power outages such a rare event Ye take the chance?

    that is the second reference to a very interesting comment if its so interesting why not copy it on to here, instead of refering to it again? Its exactly what i was talking about in my above post, why not let us all see it if its so good?

    Tried twitter can't get the hang if it at all.

    Unless the sniping stops here many more are going to fold up their tents and move in. Chit chat is hardly worth opening anymore. It was great craic with plenty of slagging

    What about getting rid of Chit chat altogether would that help?

    Have to disagree with ye , I think chit chat is one of the best threads on F& F. Always something new on it and anyway if ye don't like it sure you don't have to read it!

    Here's my 2 cents worth in relation to getting rid of Chit Chat:
    I don't believe that getting rid or banning something like this will have the positive outcome you may think.
    There's heading for 40,000 posts here because posters like it.
    Banning and prohibition are not the answer in my opinion.
    Regulation and common sense is.

    It was and could be again if some people would cop them self's on and keep the nasty arguments to a minimum.

    Yea people need to realise that not everyone is going to agree with their opinion on something and just accept it . We are all in farming to make a few pound and what works for one may not work for another. Oh and none of us are infallible in spite of what we might like to think ourselves .

    i agree chit chat was a brillant place, , you could pop in for a bit of slagging and a bit of crack and it offereda bit of light relief from mundane day to day sh!t

    people then started getting bitter and sniping which haas to stop, so we all either cop on and get on or pull plug, its that simple

    i would like it to stay but in its old format

    when i started chit chat along time ago the first post was it was about general goings on etc... I also think at the risk of repeating myself again if posts where reread before posting alot of the sniping wouldnt happen ,to those who are giving out whats to stop ye leaving instead of giving out about it, as someone else said if you dont like it dont read it. Its a bit like a newspaper scan over and read what you want
