Keeping posts on topic.

Come back Bonyslad

Hi all, I don't consider myself an 'oldtimer' although I've been a member for years. I only post 'on topic' which is all I'm personnally interested in, however, I'm regularly cheered up by Bonyslad's humour. My other half often asks me why I'm babbling to 'meself' when on the website. I personally cannot take any umbridge for the quite short straying off topic the he and others make. I think it shows the community has heart.It's really a good humoured and informative site. I've now even disciplined myself into using the 'commercial links' for things such as Car Hire Insurance. Come back Bonyslad

Bonyslad..... are you there!!! I'm shocked, missed the forum for a day and a half and you've apparently gone!!!! Many, many people obviously enjoy your posts and your sense of humour..... funny posts are not easy to do, or always get away with.
I have always been a rugby man all my days - played, reffed, coached, etc., etc. I've always thought it good to play hard then buy the opposition a pint and have a good chat afterwards. In my opinion that's what you do. You do play hard (in a soft sort of way!). You do keep us amused. You (seemingly) upset some people. You are also very, very informative about P.P. We like your knowledge about the place.
So EEHHH!!! Off you rear quarter and get back on here, buy that pint and keep chatting.
Sure you'll be excused by the masses..... just this once though!

All this thanking is over the top in my opinion. The forum is only as good as it's members and if they stopped posting then that would be that! Therefor any thanks should be directed to the members who post! Also I don't think anyone has SULKED OFF! I just think that some have decided not to post. Perhaps being treated with disrespect has caused them to move on! A loss in my opinion.

With rexpect Kym, if you look back no one was treated with disrespect, the rules were made clear, again, and some people have decided not to post, their choice

It may be just as simple as Bonsylad is pre occupied. One of his friends has been admitted to hospital for emergency surgery and he has been taxiing the wife to Palma. If I see him I will tell him he is missed.

Just wanted to share my thoughts . I do not subscribe to any social network sites face book etc have no time for them. But I do enjoy everything about PP.com including the harmless and amusing banter. I feel it adds to the sense of community and in no way distracts from the often invaluable information that this site offers.
PP is very close to my heart having spent over 20 years visiting and being lucky enough to own a beautiful home there now for the last 5 years . I honestly believe that this site offers 2 things information and also a camaraderie and a sense of family for the people who both visit and live in PP. Please don't change things I enjoy my daily read when I am on my travels and I am sure the light hearted banter just lets people know what a friendly community PP has and what a great place it is to visit. The light hearted banter in my opinion encourages people to read and post on the site which breaths life into the site.

Thank you for your comment. And thank you to those further up who thanked the moderators. There has NEVER been any suggestion that there should not be any light-hearted comments or banter on the forum - if you look back to my post above http://www.forum.puertopollensa.com/using-pollensa-forum/7350-keeping-posts-topic.html#post58297, ALL that had happened was that the odd thread went way off topic with more posts off-topic than ones relating to the original thread, a request was made to keep things on track which was ignored so we deleted a couple of posts and a few other posts were moved to new threads to make things clearer for people to find the information they were looking for. We made a request to ask members to try & stay on topic and to be aware that we may need to move posts about if necessary. Nothing has changed. The forum has always been run in this way. So please keep posting!

As a newbie I think the forum contains great information and I enjoy the banter, but do think we should now draw a line under this, imo!

I think so too.
