East Coast Meeting Forum is shortly to be no more.

[FullCircle]

...and do they exist on the East Coast, Jim, I've heard strange tales about those vast windswept space and mudflatss, where radio checks are unheard of?

With land as flat as ours, line of sight, aldis lamps and semaphore are still the order of the day.

 

[Koeketiene]

It will be just above the Lounge, and underneath The Thames Forum....

If that isn't a recipe for disaster, I don't know what is.
Talk about tempting fate.

It's alright, we have security on the door now. Who will make sure that the knobs are kept clean.

 

[sailorman]

that reminds me of the Tom paxton song

Oh Goody, I'll order lots more Inglefield clips for my signal flags and halliards, I still have my copy of Browns, but my lamp speeds were always rubbish; sort of 'Wh..(yawn).a..t...S.(ywawn)..h..ip'.
If we don't see you at SIBS 2015, we may be back in the Friesians again next year, and I'd really like to rerun my 1998 Wayfarer trip across from Southwold- but in more comfort and quicker this time.

i am looking @ Joton a/f :encouragement:

 

[Tam Lin]

Just googled inglefield clips. Now I know what those things in my tin are called!

A genuine Eureka! moment, we all should be allowed one a day, instead of the Oh B@@@er ones.

 

[Malish]

Nothing much, I wasn't vehemently opposed, and now I am not vehemently in favour either, but it is part of a big clean up.

Never a fan of big clean ups .... Something is invariably lost.... Hope that does not happen to the forum, I like the subtlety of the present title and location

 

[Otter]

Me too. For those of us who use the settings button to only show our favourite forums on YBW it doesn't matter where they put the ECF but if it's next to the lounge then we're in for some unpleasant times. Some lounge lizard will see a thread and jump in with their I'm- a-big-boy boots.

 

[Bru]

The lounge lizards don't iinfest Liveaboard Link, PBO, Scuttlebutt or the mobo forum. No reason for it to be sent different for the relocated ECF

And in the unlikely event of an issue that's what Mods are for

One of the things I like about the ECF is that we've always been able to get by without Mod intervention.
Even FC is a mere mortal among mortals here.

There's a lot of truth in this: Pour vivre heureux vivons caché.

Indeed, the only Modding I have done is to put Chatting Lils event post up as a sticky.
I remember that all unwelcome intrusions have been sensibly argued away by the members hereabouts. Long may that continue.

I like to think we're a good cut above the Lounge, and I guess downstream of the Thames has a certain logic.

 

[Tomahawk]

OTOH, perhaps we should be above the Thames as you have to go through our patch to get into all that fresh water stuff...

And there's no reason for that not to continue. The concerns about the lounge lizards invading are unlikely to come to anything IMO

Surely not! Mortal perhaps but never "mere"

Oh come on! Come up with one good reason (not including unfounded concerns about the lounge lizards) why one of the more active, and probably the most friendly, of the forums on this site should be buried away under a pile of dead wood out of sight to all but the most persistent scrollers

There's a danger of sounding like there's a bit of a clique thing going on here and I'm sure we wouldn't want that

 

[ex-Gladys]

Perhaps there should be a qualification for this august body... sounder alarm set at a metre or less!
