What a disappointment!

I came here hoping for a good forum. Hopefully a place where keen woodworkers could share thoughts and ideas- respectfully. What the heck is this?
FWW need to get this working with more effective filtering than this. What a shame. Crezz

Go to the next page. I had the same thought and you have a valid comment. However, there are some interesting discussions if you get past this first page of hiccups.

Yeah, the spam filtering software seems to have been written by a chimp. And not a very bright one, either.

It's a new forum, folks...give Ben a chance to get the filters set correctly and let's go on from there....

Agreed! Give them some slack, it will probably take some time to work the kinks out.

Good news, bad news.

The good news is that someone smarter than me is in charge of setting filters. The bad news is that they pulled down most of the spam before I got to see it! I've been wondering where to get my kitchen remodeled in the UK!

Seriously though. Ya... it's going to take a bit to get it all working smoothly. Thanks for your patience.

If you're looking for the old Knots, google The Burl Forum. They use the same format software as the old Knots did with some of the same old members participating.

Ah Ben, the thankless job, the work required to make something nice, the ease to criticize rather than contribute. Thanks for your efforts. It'll smooth out.
