I couldn't get onto the forum yesterday for a few hours so I googled "Tenerife Forum" hoping I might get a link to it from another site. I found ( as I'm sure you are all aware )another forum about Tenerife. Being the curious type, I had a look and found that "Tom and Sharon" were after introducing themselves as new members. They were moving to it because of "Recent events". I hope it wasn't anything I said because I know they have come in for some ott criticism especially on the "illegal lettings" thread. I for one, hope they stay as they fight their corner so well!

Of course not, its just I got the impression that they were totally disenchanted with this one and am afraid that they were insulted here and decided to leave permenently.

I wouldn't take it personally! There are a number of members who go to both sides!

How do you know this then??? they have only introduced themselves on there.....

I am a member of both forums so there is nothing sinister in the fact that Tom & Sharon have joined. I think you will also find that Tom & Sharon are bigger and better people than to let a few 'insults' as you put it, make them no longer post here. I think the majority of us have been insulted at one time or another but we are all still here:hello:

Me to, I go there when I want to discuss intellectual topics and come here to enjoy myself and talk drivel with the bored housewives and househusbands:whistle:

:lol: Ah where's the little guy who rolls around laughing I canīt find him ??

How do you know this then??? they have only introduced themselves on there.....

"We've been on the "other side" now for years. Due to recent events (ahem!) we thought we'd pop over and have a look round here."

This statement gives me the impression that something happened on this forum that has led them to seek if other pastures are greener. I'm not taking anything personnally as I have always admired the way Tom and Sharon have stood up for what they believe in. All I'm saying is that I would be sorry to lose them. I'm NOT saying that they are moving.

I'm not saying that it is "sinister" all I'm saying is that if they were to leave, it would be a loss to this forum.

To be honest dokgolf I really don't think that you should be copying posts that people have made elsewhere, especially without their permission. They are two seperate sites and as previously mentioned many people are members of both. It is not fair to the people that have worked so hard to get THIS forum back up and running to even be discussing this here. Why don't you send Tom & Sharon a private message with your concerns and then you will get the answer from the horses mouth rather than making assumptions :)

Well said Jackie, as dokgolf says they can fight their corner so well and i really dont think sharon will be impressed with someone fighting their corner for them. I really cant see a problem being on any other forum and to me this thread is just trying to be provocative.

22-06-2011, 10:39
You're right, I shouldn't have copied directly. Apologies to all. I just wanted to highlight the fact that recently something seems to have happened to concern them. If I sent them a pm, then everyone else mightn't be aware of their feelings. Anyway, as this thread seems to have got sidetracked, I'm not going to comment anymore on the subject

You know, sod it! I only tried to draw attention to the fact that some of our contributors were uneasy at recent events. I'm now uneasy at the way i'm getting attacked for this. That being the case, adios Tenerife Forum.

It is not a case of you being attacked at all, but why would you ask such a question on ANOTHER forum about what one or two in this case, of it's members are doing on a different forum???? Would the best thing to do not have been to speak to them via private message first and see if Tom & Sharon actually wanted to tell you if there was a problem.

Ok just had a little look on the other forum and it seems like everyone is giving them a nice welcome...which is nice.

But let's be a little grown up about this we are all adults here and there is no reason why people can't join both..... and also get enjoyment from the two forums.

Can't see the big deal really.

Please guys, surely we should be encouraging people to post rather than showing them the door? Dokgolf's post contained no nastiness, no moaning, no insults of any kind and was obviously posted in good faith. By the looks of it he's not going to post again and to be honest I don't blame him. If Zara had posted that message would you have been as quick to hit the keyboard or would you have gone for the thanks button?
Sorry to use you Zara but it's only because you are a known and respected member and the first name that comes to mind. This isn't meant to offend anyone, I'm just asking that people be given half a chance or the forum won't build back up.l. Ok shoot....

Me neither! if people have plenty of time on their hands then why not join other Forums theyīre all there to be enjoyed, although it is always sad to see any members leave here because of bad feeling whoever they are. :hit:

I must admit I did not take Tom+Sharons post to mean they were upset with anyone on the forum, I thought they joined the other forum for the same reason as I did...................because they could not log on here on Monday and that the reference to problems was a reference to the Zarion problem.

Tom & Sharon
22-06-2011, 15:08
Whoa guys - calm down!

I've been spring cleaning all day (like you do in calima!) and only just seen this because Dokgolf sent me a pm. I am absolutely certain that he started this thread for all the best intentions, and actually it's quite flattering. The poor guy's mortified at the reaction it's had, and maybe it might be nice to make friends again?

I joined the other forum on Monday because this one was down, and tbh this one's a bit quiet at the moment with 22,000 members less than it used to have! We've also had one or two uncalled for lectures since the new format, and I don't like that. I'm too old and opinionated for the thought police! Nothing to do with other "ordinary" posters. That's just how I'm feeling at the moment. That's me & not Tom by the way. He doesn't even know I joined the other one as he's working away and I haven't even told him yet.

We certainly won't be leaving this one, we've been on it years and got 2,000+ posts, although these have now disappeared into cyberspace for the time being. There's no way in a million years I would ever be bullied off a forum because of a differing opinion. Anybody who knows me, knows that I will argue till the cows come home and later.

So don't worry - lots more of opinionated posts to come. :lol::lol:

And don't forget - they're only forums you know!

Hi Sharon,i never for one moment thought you had left here. I have found it quite funny the reaction that this thread got. Once the dust has settled(sorry sand due to the calima) we will get some great posts from you again.

I may be a bit dim but can anyone explain the point of this thread other than the fact that one member wants to grass up another member for daring to log on to another site?

If that were the case then we'd need a whole new Forum devoted to just that.

I belong to various Fora, some for fun, some for info, some for various interests and so what?

This, BTW, is a personal comment and nothing to do with my mod duties.

Its got nothing to do with people posting on other/rival forums. I couldn't care less and its none of my business who posts what, when or where. Incidently, after speaking with Sharon, I discovered i got the wrong end of the stick ( which apparently several other people on this thread did also ).

Now the title is 'DokGolf, please don't go!' and please don't even think about it.

You are a valuable contributor and obviously a very caring one.

It's a point that when people have been on a Forum for a while they feel quite protective towards each other as virtual friends. It's also human nature to 'jump the gun' but now it's sorted, as Young Golfer said, let's all move on ...and have a bit of therapy: a good old argument with Reggie! :poke: Oneleg...you can start!;)
