I am stunned, touched and humbled by the response here. When Erwin made his incredibly kind offer to host the forum on his company's server, I accepted assuming that about 5 people would register and the forum would fizzle out in about the same number of days. Glad to be wrong. :lol:

The Brains Trust is here. Not sure why. It is enough for me that they are. Success follows these people.

Hehe. There are probably people here who ask, "Steve who?", and "FF whut?", or "The Brains Trust????" :lol: Little do they know how lucky they are.

:D

Having won them and lost them, I can confirm this; FF vouchers have no value. Total Tit Twee will remove them the instant it suits him to do so. Whilst on the subject of crap-for-lack-of-brains Twee, only a cretin picks a user name so likely to attract ridicule as 'Twee'. Here in the UK, something described as 'twee' is useless, pointless and pathetic. What a jerk. :lol:

Less than a fortnight after living huge parts of my life at FF (Fuck the Fools like me for having contributed so much?) I am astonished to find that I miss the forum not a jot.

I am having far too much fun here.

And we shall continue to pinch ideas from FF and develop them into EA's here. That remains no reason not to share them at FF; just because the site owner is a cretin does not mean that others should suffer from his moronic behaviour. FF is not a dirty word here; Twee is merely a dimwit.

Shall I stop insulting that 99th rater Twee? Naahhhh. I have met fleabites with more intellectual clout. Projectile vomit has more charisma.

Ok, I have stopped. For now. :lol:

:D

Don't hold back now, tell us what you really think !! :lol:

IMHO you MUST keep your FF profile very much active. I agree totally regarding the idiotic management of the FF. BUT speaking from personal experience, 3/4 years ago I would have loved to had access to a coder who would have coded my ideas to a workable EA for a very, very modest fee of $100.

I know you did not set out to be a professional EA designer, but having put thousands and thousands of hours of hard work into coding EAs it is just and deserving to provide this service and have some additional funds at your disposal by the way of fees charged. There are many traders out there who want a designer EA but think that the cost is much higher than what you charge. By having maximum exposure on the web you help them to find you and reach their goal.

I think I speak for everyone when I say we are very happy for you to be properly rewarded for your efforts and industry. If I was you I would even put some adverts on the empty spaces on the left and right of this panel, advertising your own services and why not some criminals also. Lets face it we all need criminals and can not trade without them. :D

Kind Regards

Thanks very much my friend. The fact is, I do not have time to maintain a profile at FF, even were I allowed to. I can barely keep up with what is going on here.

Besides, however misplaced sometimes, there is pride. There is as much chance of me emailing TIT with, "Ok, I have removed my plug for my coding services" as there is of an Aussie cricket captain saying, "Yep, the Poms are going to crush us next time around." :lol:

I will look into the advertising space thingy. I had not realised there is any space. I use Firefox with Adblock Plus, and so never see any ads.

Cheers

:D

:lol: What's with all the Aussie cricket jokes?????

Anyways...having been around since the dinosaurs I have been a member of FF from the very start. The growth of FF in the early days was similar to what I am seeing here...half a dozen users online and a steady growth of members.

As time went on a few brokers started to advertise and then as we all know things grew exponentially from there on until the day came and FF was sold. I have no idea of the exact figures involved but there was considerable income from the advertising which in turn lead to all the great tools and functions that FF has today. It was a very interesting journey to watch. There was a time tho when priorities changed and decisions were made based on what the advertisers preferred as opposed to what would suit the members.

You can make your forum anything you want it to be Steve as I feel you already have the base for a very nice place for traders to hang out in. :D

Revenge. This is the first time in nearly a quarter of a century that the buggers have been beatable, so I am making the most of it. The situation will not last.

I am stunned by developments here. When Erwin kindly offered to host a forum (and he was not the only one - people can be so generous) I accepted assuming that about 5 people would join and that the forum would die out in about that number of weeks. Not so, it seems.

I have no idea where this journey will lead. I can only say this; whilst I am in charge (well, nominally at least :lol: ) the journey will be for the benefit of the members, not someone else.

:D

Which is why this forum is attracting members. I think we can all agree that FF is not a very pleasant place to hang around. I think it has gone too far over to the dark side.
Nothing wrong with some advertising income as long as forum members remain your first priority.


Where was England in the Rugby World cup? Did they even play? :roll:

I am not a Rugby fan and so cannot give a definitive answer. My limited understanding is that they were physically in the country but left their brains and playing skills at home. :lol:
