    At the rate users are leaving this forum, i think this thread is quite appropriate.

    This forum has climbed to the 5/6th place on boards. A lot of those that have left in the past are back again and there are new posters every day. Some will go and stay gone, there's always going to be some turn over.

    But as Bertie once famously said, 'Let's not talk ourselves into a recession..............' :D

    BFF was a great forum in it's hey-day. For me it lost a huge amount of it's attraction once the 'Off Topic' section was dropped. You got to know people there and once you do there's a greater element of mutual understanding for other parts of the forum. During the Bluetongue 'emergency' it was THE place to go for up-to-date information. Way ahead of the official sources and all thanks to the efforts of a handful of individuals who did the leg work to present information to all. It was also a great information source for Schmallenberg Disease. Now I look in daily but there's rarely much of interest and as life takes you in different directions your forum interests wax and wane.

    Ive looked Into the other farming forums but boards.ie suits me much better as i use some of the other areas too and it's handy to have them all in one place.

    I find boards handiest of the lot as I was on other sites before I joined here.

    Other sites were very intimating for a fella like me that knew very little about farming a few years ago.

    Boards has that homegrown feel to it
