We need the link back to help these poor lost lambs.

Bring back the link!

Looks like all the hyperlinks broke.... On to do list

Look, it's giving the forum bad press now:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=120062&p=793337

Might be worth burying the FON link? Not all newbies have the same childish sense of humour as Bam, Phil T and myself etc

I don't get your logic.

I mean its not worth the bad press?

Having the FON link to the rules means that people can easily see that it's all light-hearted humour. Without the link, it could more easily be misinterpreted (even though I find that people could take it at the first degree baffling). Anyway, it's moot. The link appears to be back.

I think what keeps a forum on top is the content (useful info, FAQs, knowledgeable people) and what keeps the people contributing all that content is the atmosphere / humour / banter.

If a forum turns into a dull trainspotting forum, or an illiterate chav-fest then I'm outta there. Long live RS246.com.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Most people don't know what FON is and when they do, they should understand the light-heartedness from the rest of the rules.

Fact is that we are getting busier and busier, so we must be doing something right

Agreed in that respect. Most newbies have a sense of humour. Only a small minority don't thankfully

All people who make sweeping statements are wankers.

I see what you did there.
