I'd be highly suspicious of an NTL approach, and I'd be making certain that alternative Cable Forum domain names were in place to ensure that the same thing does not happen again.

Can I just say Simon Duffy did comment to us in the meeting yesterday about our independence and that he thinks it should remain this way.

We've said it before and we'll say it again - bookmark this page if you like - cableforum.co.uk and nthellworld.co.uk are not, and will never be, up for sale to ntl or anyone else.

I'll give ya ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1.99 cheque ?

but to the point. I really do hope things come out of this and CF is able to work closely with NTL. It would be good for CF and NTL to work together considering the amount of people come here with issues.

I just feel the first time was wasted. I mean I took a day of work out of MY time to go and see Aizad to help his company and he really wasn't interested. I know this might be a whole new managment your dealing with but its the same old NTL as we have always known. Don't be dissapointed if it all falls though....

Wasnt he the one who wanted to end/close down the nthellworld.com site?

One name keeps coming up - Aizad - there appears to be a concensous of negativity towards this man.

On a side note, I remember when Frank brought Tim Ryan onto the forum to field questions etc about NTL and I vaguely remember (this was about 2-3 years ago) pointing out there needed to be someone to liase between the forum and NTL. Tim's response was to ignore the comment.

NTL can liaisse with this site quite easily by having someone with a user name that indicates that they are the NTL spokesperson answering queries that arise, fielding comments and perhaps giving insights into NTL's plans.

Miss Moneypenny did that job previously and did it well because she was honest and sincere in her comments and was informative without compromising NTL's commercial sensitivity.

if she was that good, it prompts the question - why did it end?

She was Miss Moneypenny on .Com and Moneypenny here ...
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/member.php?u=324

She stopped visiting Dec '03, no idea why ..

Although emails to the address she used are being bounced ... so probably no longer works for the company.

2 words-Hussain & Wilcox.

am I right in thinking Azaid Hussian still work there? and if so what's his position and relationship to Mr Duffy?

let's hope Duffy sees the light then and gets rid of Hussian.

Too many ill feelings I think, in this thread, for a chance for this to work I think we need to be a little bit more positive rather than more negative. If we keep looking at the past rather than going forwards, there is a risk we get left behind.

I know people are more reserved with their judgement and have a right to be because of the past but If yesterday, before the meeting, if I didn't think anything was gonna come of the meeting, I would not of bothered attending. Let's move forward not backwards, this thread is on the verge of turning sour and I do not want to think I and Simon wasted our time yesterday because of a situation of 'here we go again'.
