SEAMASTER Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'm concerned about this forum if a new technology person is not found. Big question is what happens if this doesn't happen. Does that mean the end of this forum and its members. I know there's other sites and Facebook pages on the broads. I mean our biggest competition is nbb. There Facebook page has thousands of members. I've even noticed that one of the members posts more content on there than on here. So can any of the team tell us that NBN is here to stay or is it abandon ship.?

JennyMorgan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 NBB? A pessimistic yet perhaps a reasonable question. I would miss this forum if it died, that's for sure. It has an identity that sets it apart from the others, hence why a number of us jumped another ship and boarded the NBN. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Please don't all jump ship yet.. I'll get seasick and that will make the boat rock about.. Do you really think we will let Jonzo leave? He's in it for life! we just need to help him out a bit more.. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Sometimes I rather wish that I could help with the tech stuff, but then again, knowing the pressure that others sometimes find themselves under then I'm rather glad to be totally inept in that regard. Thank goodness for the experts! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Can I propose Gracie for Woman's On-Line Equality rep? Any seconders? That should take a load off Jonzo's shoulders!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I will never abandon ship, this forum has my full support always, a fantastic and unique place to be a member of. As JM rightly pointed out it stands apart from the others, long may it continue, it's in it's tenth year, here's to another ten Grace 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I , and I suspect many others, have no idea what areas of the forum would need to be covered if/when Jonzo is allowed to get back to boating. I guess many people know each other and their capabilities but I also suspect there is some untapped talent on the forum that people may be willing to use should they be aware it is needed, especially if some of Jonzo's work could be divided between more than one member. Peter, I will second your proposal for Grace, in support of her family finances-anything to keep her away from the wine and shoe buying. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEAMASTER Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 That's great news to hear. I don't want to leave I agree with JM and Grace. I was just concerned by it and jonzo if I could help I would. My old age and tech don't mix. So who is this nbb can anyone shine any light on them ?. I see Rascal posts a lot of posts and pictures on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wussername Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 What this forum provides is sincerity above all else. The absence of pretence, deceit, or hypocrisy. We are what we are. Some will try and undermine our values. They return from whence they came. Andrew. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanetAnne Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 There is so much more to running this forum than I.T. and techy stuff. Aside from the Moderators, there is the organising, running of and helping out at the forums physical events. The organising of forum flags to sell, calenders to adorn bulkheads with, sponsorship, adverts, fund raising and just about anything else you can think of that enables you, right now, to read this.... The I.T. makes it all happen but the rest makes the I.T. needed. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Ah ha, a man who obviously knows the job, time for promotion then? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetAnne Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I have volunteered to organise the 2018 calender (moderators un-moderated if I remember correctly ) and help at the events. It was pretty painless, there was no initiation ceremony (yet)! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderwall Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Grace for queen, I'm all for that Maybe I am way off the mark here, but would a contribution of say a tenner a year make any difference? Throwing money at things sometimes seems to help? Just an idea, Non paying members maybe get limited access, PM,s etc? Just a thought, if I could help out techy wise I would, but I'm afraid my brains are in my hands and feet, ( if anywhere!) On a personal level , I've not been posting much, this is a combination of it being winter and the broads just ain't on my radar, starting a new job , and us losing Iain has all had an effect. I do plan to get my nbn head on again once the sun gets higher in the sky. Nothing lasts forever, but I'd be gutted if this place was to wynd down. It's been good to me in many ways. If I can help , though I can't think what , I hope someone asks me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I think the point is NBN may not be the largest site but what makes I believe us strong is we all have points sometimes we all can throw the toys out of the pram then someone will lightern the mood .I Am on a number of broad related sites,but for me NBN is the best,and long may it continue.Now if you disagree action man is out of the pram. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riyadhcrew Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 THE NBN WILL NOT DISAPPEAR. On a personal note - this site has been a ''god send'' to me for the last 3 years and I will do my utmost to help in keeping it going. I used to give a financial contribution in January, but I have no credit card or bank account at the moment, so not possible for now. Keep the spirits up peeps - we will all see it through and it will only get bigger and better. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I am willing to give a few bob if that help in a small way! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjg1677 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Me too, you just cant put a price on this forum and how we all help one another. I have said it before and i make no apologies for repeating, long may it live. Trev Have used Iain's legacy, just to remind us what it's all about........................... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
