to run a non-profit as you have done for as long as you both have with all its trials and tribulations is incredible. kudos to both of you.

‘Tis my belief that any moderately successful forum needs to be a benign dictatorship - you guys set the rules, if people object, they leave or are banned.
Lots of people hate TGP and think it’s overmoderated because the rules are tight and they are fairly strictly enforced, but it’s success speaks for itself.
May I just say that this is the WORST FLOUNCE THREAD EVER...
Ive seen strangers offer the kind of support you dont get from a best mate.
So greatful to you for keeping it going for so long, its a shame that these clowns have spoilt it. I wish you both all the best.
I hope you can take a break and return. There is a lot of good stuff that gets discussed on the forum and it is without doubt the best moderated forum I have frequented.
Please, take a break and come back with banhammers on a hair trigger.
Maybe if everyone took a bit of a look at the way they've been posting lately from a "Does this really enhance the overall community feel of this forum?" perspective, it might enhance the chances of a positive return
That's nothing personal against anyone, so please don't take it that way. It's very easy to turn into the typical "angry man on the Internet" without even noticing; been there myself a number of times. It's just that we'd like this forum to be different from the rest of t'Interweb.
And with that...I'm out. Maybe see you on the flip
I love this place and thank you both from the bottom of my gear fund for making it the place it is. I will stay. I will try very hard not to be a Dick. I will keep the classifieds turning. I may even play some guitar if I have a chance...

My trading feedback - I'm a good egg
Sad to read this.
As many I migrated from the MR forum and although not a huge poster, I do visit every day and read and learn a lot (as in RL I listen a lot and converse occasionally!) This is the main place I visit, FB and the others bore me to death yet I always find something that will warrant a daily lol on here.
I totally get the issue with the classifieds and the ME ME attitude, loads of idiot chancers and bedroom sellers with no attempt to read the FEW and SIMPLE rules to posting.
Enjoy the time out, refresh etc and if there is anything we can do to help, to lighten the load etc, etc......
Thanks for everything, I love this place
Hopefully the break will give you the opportunity to step away from the crap and appreciate Or see clearer the fact that you have built a great place.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
I can’t honestly say I’m surprised by this - but I am saddened by it nonetheless.
Hopefully it will just be a break - thanks for everything you’ve done for us.
I must admit that I do not know what went on to make @TTony and @digitalscream come to this decision.
I spend most of my time on Off Topic so I do not know what transpired on other parts of the Forum to make you guys disillusioned enough to relinquish managing it.
Handling all aspects of running a Forum is just about in the same category as a full time job. @TTony and @digitalscream have done fantastic work in getting this Forum up and running, and I would imagine they have sacrificed a lot of family time to do the technical support work here.
It isn’t a thankless task, though. As you can see, there is a lot of people who gratefully appreciate the work you have put it to make this Forum an enjoyable place to visit, and to foster a community spirit.
By all means, go on a hiatus if you need to. It will be a well deserved break, and you will, hopefully, come back refreshed and raring to go again.
