tl;dr

Sticky thread with a link to FriendFace?

Here's a thing: I've often wondered how many folk, of the new variety, see a meet thread, think "Ooo, sounds interesting, and then get put off by the inevitable "Yaaay!!!. Let's get rat-arsed" type responses.

What's this thread about again?

I'm put off by meets revolving around pubs and who can get `rat arsed'.

and ones involving women, apparently Millysawitch is one.

I feel it may be a subject worthy of its' own thread, Mick

But back to the original question; I've seen many, many people come and go on here over the years for many, many reasons best known only to themselves.

Hope that helps

I don't hold a monopoly franchise on the organisation of meets. I'm sure you can organise a boys only temperance meet, or whatever, to appeal to new & old members alike.

Sorry Mick, can't resolve that for you. I was born girlie & have every intention of sticking with it

Not to mention a fair number that spit the dummy, throw all toys out of pram and announce to the forum:

"Darlings - I'm leaving!"

And then lurk for a week hoping for a chorus of Come back!

That's a high-risk strategy, right enough. I'd forgotten about those ones

Mrs was cool about it, she heard me speaking about the folk before so all was OK, she is even going to go to a meet soon.
