It is kinda ironic as it's what I wasted the better part of two years of my life trying to do, and it could have been so good...but it was a train wreck.

Corporate culture doesn't change that much in 5 years. The only way it's going to succeed is if the executive team is fully bought in and it has a strong sponsor driving it throughout the organisation. Part of the problem when I was there was that it had a strong sponsor to begin with, but execs come and go. Then I was left to the wolves, who abused the crap out of my before I quit.

All I have to say is good luck to Mark Wilkin, he's going to need it.

I and many others would not go there as we know they would use our foolhardiness against us and identify us via IP ( illegally ) and then some management toady would compare posting styles to try and identify who posts on here and other forums.

Or, he could simply keep posting links to relevant threads on here.

We have about six years' worth by now. It'll be a long time before the Virgin forum builds up a knowledgebase anything like that.

I thought of that but wondered how long they would they allow that to happen as they may look upon it as a form of advertising.

Guys - as much as I am honoured that you prefer our site over another one - As I said earlier in the thread - I would rather not go back to the old days of having a 'them' and 'us' situation and one site and its users having a slanging match with another sites users.

Least we can do is to give the site a chance - it's in its very early stages.

I am happy to wait and see how it grows but I will never visit it or post on it due to a question of trusting them and I certainly do not.

I agree with Mick on this one
