    I notice that the ailing, abandoned forum on another pub website has finally been terminated. Long live the shed as a refuge from all that tumbleweed!

    And I also notice the 'Moronic Users' as you refer to them are still in force as 'The Cock Inn' is now down to 2.7 after your earlier posting this morning........

    Anyway, even more evidence that we're all better off here......

    I guess I am the only one who does not have a clue what you are all referring to, probably just as well by the sounds of it

    Beer In The Evening have removed their prominent site wide link to their forums. The forums are still linked from most pages from a tiny link at the top of the navigation area.

    The forums are still there and handling automated posts, not sure if members can post though. The blog appears to be gone altogether.

    It seems reasonable to think Chris might drop the forums as more grief than he feels they are worth.

    Oh, right, I didn't realise there was still a link from subsidiary pages. Removal from the homepage is evidently to remove high visibility of that quiet carriage - site trolls, left with no-one to wind up, have gone back to puerile ratings manipulations.

    I just sort of assumed he hadn't realised there were other links (or didn't know how to remove them )

    It is certainly the sort of thing I would miss, only thing that leaves me in doubt is that he hasn't just switched the forum off.

    John Bonsor managed to post at 6:04 this evening, so it's still working.

    This has also happened a few times previously, without explanation as far as I recall, and just as suddenly reverted back again. *** CANCEL THAT *** The top left link has just this minute also disappeared from the home page!

    Update - if you can find a way in, you can still post... Curious.
