As you can see the board is back up again - I haven't removed anything either as I can't see anything offensive on the site.
People need to realise that it is pretty much the norm to post under Pseudo names on boards to - for one main reason...to avoid any personal comment.
I would remind members to read the
Terms and Conditions of Registration for the VisitKintyre Website Forum and Discussion Board
http://www.awwhosting.co.uk/campbeltown ... .php?t=629
Which clearly states in the opening paragraph
While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not the administrators, moderators or webmaster (except for posts by these people) and hence will not be held liable.
I clearly do not have the time or the resources to constantly be on this board 24hrs a day - I take days off too...
I do have a job and a wife and a 5 month old son too so these are the most important things to me (then the fitba, Tartan Army and this site!) so I do object to being subject of the PMs and E-Mails I received. It ain't hard to find me and speak to me (usuall the Comm btw
)
I have discussed the threads with the Mods (none of whom are me!) and they agree there is nothing to be removed - if you do think there should be please PM me or one of the Mods and we will react to your concerns.
What I am starting to object to is the forum bringing down the
http://www.visitkintyre.info site (in some peoples eyes). As you can clearly see the forum is located on a totally separate url but I accept reference to visitkintyre.info is made through this site. To this end I will take steps to purchase a new url and host but the quote I received from my current host was £160 per annum and with it coming up to Christmas I am not prepared to pay that just now. (I do however a scatter of visitkintyre polo shirts which I could sell!)
Anyway, thanks for the messages of support. I am going to meet up with the mods soon and have a look at the way forward with the board. I personally think there are more positives coming out of the board than negatives.
