Thats the problem with forums / written word often things said in jest cause offense when it is not really intended.

None any more, really. I post occasionally on "Beer in the Evening", and sporadically on two kiting sites.
Up until a year ago I used to be very active on lots of forums on lots of topics, but I seemed to spend all of my time apologizing for what other people took to be insults, offense and digs, that I gave up. I seem to have this knack of giving offence when none is intended

How many forums do you belong to?
« Result #3 on Dec 15, 2009, 8:18pm »

Being a member of several forums around the world, there are very few I actively participate in on a regular basis. The odd topic will entice me in, but 99.9 percent of the time I look and say nothing.

Having recently created a forum with another kite flier, we wanted to discuss and make people aware specifically of CAMPING and KITE FLYING events for 2010 that most of us kiters attend, creating a single point for reference and information. As it is just for fun and something to ‘do’ with friends in the winter months, it has been quite successful, and liken it to the atmosphere in someone’s awning where we gather for a laugh and chat, not always about kites, and always light hearted.

Why some people just come, look, and say nothing…dawned on me today as I am equally to blame when dipping onto other forums. Personally I do not have enough time to flit from forum to forum. It is hard enough to catch up on threads if I didn’t look in at least once a week and I never have the time to read every posting, and if I did say something without reading it all it could be repetitive and I would look stupid. I think I joined all these forums over the years to READ information, cars / kites / RC clubs etc.

Today I realised all my input by words and photographs into ‘our’ forum is read like a magazine (as I have always done) but as the author of most of the posts it would be nice to have some feedback and TOTALLY unlike a magazine every member can express their views and even start a conservation off!

This is my way of apologising to the Forums I have not participated in sufficiently, but thank you for the membership that allowed me to selfishly read your authors ‘informative’ threads without any contribution from yours truly!

SO…….How many Forums do YOU belong to?
And…How many do you actively post in?

Mine is 8 Forums (and I am posting this in all of them!)
And actively participating in just the one due mainly to lack of hours in the day!

Well this is a tricky one, as this year i have managed to do quite alot ride on a steam engine, I got to fly the Adrenalin stack Cheers Dave had some outstanding fun at various locations with various amounts of alcohol consumed, but i suppose the highlite had to be Portsmouth as it is such a good festival in a good location. Capstone was fun although it drove me a little nutty !
Sumners ponds is is also high on my favourites now i don't lose any kites
And i made my first kite !
All in all i have had a pretty enjoyable year, roll on 2010

OK its not specifically kite related, and of no great use to anybody....except Paul? Although dead and cremated earlier this year, I just thought you would like to know that 'Big Yellow' is in Landy heaven and doing OK in her after life.

Is this at the top where there appears to be a recreation ground with a couple of football pitches.

Perhaps someone could post a Google maps link with the place marked.

We would have been joined by John but his kite sulked when the ferrules disappeared up the spars.

Tuesday night I investigated and got to look up both parts of the spar - it hasn't disappeared up the spar, it's totally disappeared. How the **** it managed to fall out of the channel I don't know!

I suspect Pickled Herring sabotaged the kite when I was not looking to try and persuade me to sell the kite to him.

So if anyone can let me have a piece about 4" long that fits inside 7mm tube. Looking at the other spar it is 6mm diameter tube with very thick walls (the hole up the middle is about 2.5mm diameter).
