Jezza’s Exiles part company with YesBut

I post, or rather up to this afternoon, used to post on the Jezza’s Exiles message board. Used to, because today, without notification my board membership was suspended.

Subsequently I received this email message from a member of the message board’s administration team:


“I was suspicious from the start I have to say. Do you want to plea bargain?
You a funny and amusing poster no doubt about that so a shame to loose you.”

In response to my request for further information I received a reply that I had concocted and put in place a devious (my word) plan to “attempt to disrupt the forum” (their words).

Now what, you might ask, was this devilishly disruptive action?

I had proposed for discussion the suspention of an undersubscribed section of the message board dedicated to Allotments & Gardening and replace it for a trial period with one devoted to seeking and providing advice on subjects such as: health, sexuality, personal problems, etc.

Let it be a warning to you, don’t mess with gardeners, or else.

The sad thing about the whole affair, apart from me being excluded from the board, is Jezza’s Exiles message board was set up after the BBC, without consultation and with little notification, closed a number of its message boards.

So having, in the company of a number of posters, been put out into the cold by the BBC, I now find myself once again homeless.

I would appreciate any suggestions of a message board I could join which has a lively discussion on: sport, technology/computers and general discussion.
