At no point did I question your decision or continue the debate about the forum request being turned down. I merely stated, when it was raised again, that I believed the issue had been put to bed which is why I suggested the idea of those of us who wanted to having a place to meet up in cyberspace. There was no intent to draw members away from the site or engage in any other kind of recruiting. I did not complain about your decision either. There are no "behind the scenes" machinations of any kind in an attempt to set up a new website and poach members from here.

I do not see that this is in any way a violation of BBs rules.

Okay this is my final post on this topic. I apologise again to everyone concerned as it is too early in the morning for this kind of stuff.
