I know there are many members here who are also members of the other English-speaking French forums, and long may that continue: it's called participation and variation. Me, I'm more than happy if people from other forums join us here - in order to have another place to gather information, chat, join in - no matter who they are, as long as they don't seek to undermine or destruct from within.

Are you suggesting there is a Sixth Column at work?

Funny things forums. I know of one popular poster who was booted out of another forum because several other members complained. Now that’s what I call ‘democratic’ ! Forums come in all shapes and sizes. One forum I often use is long established and very popular, the members are great even though some occasionally spoil for an argument. Any nastiness is nipped in the bud by the mods/owners without any recourse to action taken. A really well run site imo with a good balance of opinions. Another I know, recently relaunched is already dying unfortunately thanks to over-zealous owner and mod booting out the very members who tried to instill a bit of oxygen to the proceedings. Moral of the story, don’t over sanitize, resist being the schoolyard bully and respect everyones views. Use discipline when the forum is being compromised by one idiot. This forum works well and thanks to FFS for his energy in keeping it going.

It's the place to be seen. Edit on the 27th Jan can people please stop sending PMs asking for a link, it was a joke there is no chancer and vic forum

There were several members of TNFF who joined here in the early days but subsequently decided to spend their time on FiF, others didn't join here and went straight there. Their contributions would have been just as acceptable here as there if they were active members of both, but each to their own. Niemeyjt's opinions and oldblueraincoat's photos, for example, would have been worth seeing here (I can't see them on FiF because my account's been disactivated, members complained and threatened to leave), but at least his photos can be seen on his website, redstuffdan.com/, so that's alright.
I'd have no problem having, for example, Char from FiF as a member here (in fact I thought she was at one moment, under a different name, but it turned out to be someone else), unfortunately these sentiments aren't reciprocated. Idem for United in France, United in Brittany as was.
As Seaboots says, funny things, forums. And funny people.

"I know of one popular poster who was booted out of another forum because several other members complained"
"members complained and threatened to leave"
Are we talking about adults here?
