This forum is a month old today. Thank you to everyone who has joined , especially those who have posted. This forum will only prosper the more it is used.
With Facebook killing off forums left right and centre, with it's ease of posting questions and photos, it will be interesting to see how this forum does over the coming months.
Still no sign of the original OSS forum coming back online, which is a shame, but in the mean time please keep posting in this one.
Ash

Well done. Your'e doing a great job.
I hope it grows in strength cos all that facebook malarky doesn't really interest me.(And I haven't really got a clue how to use it).

In my opinion, there's a place for both, but there is certainly a crossover which hurts the forum.
FB is great for quick responses to things and images like you say Ash, but as you know, the speed is also Facebook's downfall as source for knowledge and help over time because it's almost impossible to find things that have been posted more than about a week in the past.
If we can get some of the 'real' info on here from the old site that made it so special, rather than it going to waste, it would be even better.
It's been great to see the improvements that have been made to this site so far! Well done.

Faceache is no good for forum type stuff.
Things get shuffle off the page by post after post after post of drivel.
On a forum things are split up and its easier to find and old post etc..

This forum is absolutely great. There seems to be some things better (Youtube Ebay ...) than on the old forum.

Yeah it was a bit of a pet hate of mine that you couldn't link to eBay and YouTube on the old forum, so when I set this one up I made sure they worked.
