I see the official forum on the GM website is unavailable 'till next Tuesday. I wonder if they are finally going to use some basic forum management software that can provide advanced features like sub-divided forums  Hopefully all the history won't be lost again in the process. |

Will be very dissapointed if all my wisdom is zapped into oblivion (again).

Indeed ... at my age I find looking back on forum posts a useful way of reminding myself what I think (not to mention where I've been) ;D

Quite. There was also the old- old official forum- the one where people used to worry about the wisdom of allowing non-vegan food stalls, and how uncool the smell of bacon was- especailly if the capacity was upped to 2000. Ahh, innocent days

Maybe if someone advertises that we're are 'green' on here. They'll come here in droves!
It so yellow on the other site - I got off there quickly

Same naff forum system - just a change of font and colour We'll have to rely on the remaining line-up announcements for our excitement. |

They use a proprietary forum system over at the official forum designed by the people who do the website for them. There was some reasoning behind it which I now can't remember!
I was considering moving this forum from proboards and onto a dedicated hosting space - I'm always worried in case something happens to the database here and we lose everything, because I'd have no backups and proboards probably wouldn't be either willing or able to help. If I do that it'll not be until after this year's festival though, don't want to start chucking spanners in the works while it's busy.

Yeah, I really like it here. It works in a nice kind of way, and it feels to me very like the bar of a slightly excentric pub, bit like Betty's (the Duffryn Arms) in The Gwaun Valley or The Plough &Harrow or any other good pub you can think of. You know, the kind of place where a chap who apparantly uses a Naan Bread as a means of disguise would be made welcome!
