That's a bloody unfair and stupid question.

Hmm, that's a lot to ask of anyone. This isn't a life changing situation, it's a forum. Neil is employed to do a job, which he does well. Frank has some issues that a lot of people support, including Neil. The option to resign is a personal one to Neil and would not be based just on the current dealings with Frank.

I doubt that Frank would ever ask that anyone resign to support him.

Very unfair question.

Correct.

He wouldn't, I have known Frank on a personal level for about 3 years now, (so I probably know him better then most here) & I don't believe he would ever do that.

I don't expect anything else from a friend/lover/associate of Kerry Anne Peters-it was probably her that made the post under that login.

Well, if Frank ever needs any tips on how to get past the mods approving new registrations he only needs to ask

So you'll be in charge now that Frank's gone then?

Stuart W · 15-10-2003, 14:42

I would imagin there will be a meeting between the mods & ashg to discuss what happens next.

And in the true tradition of all things ntl, it'll take a while.

Don't be stupid Stu.

This is NTL.

Do they discuss anything?

It may take a while or it may be soon. But which of these is the longest wait?

Community has been 'coming soon' for getting on 5 months and counting ... but then BB has been 'coming soon' for UDT et al for several years. Pick a number and multiply it by the amount BK earns per hour, reckon the result to be in years and you might be close.

Neil has posted this on .com. I thought I'd save him the job of repeating it.

Having spoken to Ben & Ash earlier, I have established a few facts, & here are a few points that people may be interested in....

1) The decision to suspend Frank's account on here was taken about 6pm last night, & was nothing to do with yesterday's downtime.

2) It was Ash's mistake that the original thread was deleted (rather than just removed while the abusive content was removed) He just did it in the heat of the moment rather than ask one of us to deal with it, & his lack of knowledge of VBulletin allowed him to delete it.

3) Myself & Ben will continue to run .com, as we feel we have the experience & knowledge to do so (it is my belief that the team here has alwyas run the site anyway) & at the end of the day-I would hate to see what Frank started (I.E a site to help customers) go to waste.

4) I have not discussed who will/won't replace Frank, & as far as I'm concerned the site stays open with us running it.

5) I have spoken to Frank briefly this afternoon, & would like to stress that he has put me under no pressure whatsoever to resign/stay etc-although as a friend I fully support Frank in what he does, & what he is currently going through.

6) I hope I have addresses people's concerns, please understand also what a hard time this has been for us-I logged on this morning to find all hell breaking loose because of someone's mistake with VBulletin.

7) I genuinely want the site to remain open & believe it 'could' be a site that revolutionises the way online help is given, but I will not allow ntl to dictate to me, as I feel I know the site's members far better than they do.

That's it really, please be patient, & if anyone posts a question-don't start $lagging me off because I don't reply straight away-I do have a life & a job away from this site (believe it or not!)

Neil.

As promised here is a copy of said thread.

If anyone has a recent copy I would be happy to edit it and post it for them.
I have removed personal attacks and since Ashley has now admitted that it was a mistake to delete it I see no reason against posting it here.

altis · 15-10-2003, 17:46

It would appear that Frank has quit.

Bex · 15-10-2003, 17:54

good for him, as i said on his blog he's too good for them anyway

Page · 15-10-2003, 18:43

I just tried to reply on his blog but there is an error on it so I'll just say it here instead.

Fight them for every last penny that they owe you Frank. You deserve it. They are nothing but **** for the way that they have treated you.

Agreed.. Cant believe the way theyre treating you.. They're just digging there own hole, and showing people how they really are.
