    Thank you Dragonpol, site looks as though its had another upgrade since I was last here?

    I think the last main upgrade to new software (Vanilla, like MI6 Community uses) was in March 2021 though there has been some small cosmetic changes since then to optimise the site experience for members.

    I may have forgotten seeing the upgrade last time, nonetheless i like the look of the site, it's a shame its not busier.

  • Silhouette ManSilhouette Man The last refuge of a scoundrelPosts: 8,852MI6 Agent

    Yes, the site looks better than ever. I too wish it was busier. I'm not exactly sure why it has been quieter over this last while but there is still a loyal membership of regulars who keep the site afloat, not forgetting the work of our sterling mods.

    ...one of whom thanks you, @Silhouette Man and says welcome back @fire and ice ! 🙂

    I'm off for some leave, and will be in beautiful Germany for a while.

    Thanks to the wonders of technology I'll still look in from time to time, of course.

    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    Have fun - don't forget to come back

    Thanks for the kind thoughts, guys. No, Gymkata, I didn't see Higgins this time, and chrisno1 here I am! 😁

    It wasn't the same without you, Barbel. For starters, George Lazenby has been replaced as Bond by that guy from The Saint...

    Hope you had a good holiday. 😎

  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,917Chief of Staff

    Yes, excellent, thank you. And TDE, there's an Imaginary Conversation in that....

    I don't know how long it is since I last visited AJB but I am here to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (I know this is early!)


    It has been a hard time for me as I have been ill and I have had no interest in coming on to the internet at all but, despite the best efforts of my illness, it has not killed me (yet!)! Anyway, enough of that. I don't know when I will visit again but I am still interested in James Bond and when I feel more up to it will return to the forum again more regularly (that, of course if I have not been banned in for being absent without leave in the mean time!)

    Have a good and safe Christmas my friends.

  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,917Chief of Staff

    Best wishes, Joshua, and if you're not back here by then a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    Merry Christmas, Joshua. And I hope your health improves soon. Why don't you read "Snowfall", the Christmas-themed Bond story Barbel, CHB are writing? The first chapter will be posted on Sunday. 😀

  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 7,268MI6 Agent

    Hope you’re feeling better, Joshua, and a merry Christmas to you and yours.

    Sorry to hear that you're ill, @Joshua. I hope you feel better soon. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2023 in the meantime! 🙂

    Hi all

    It’s been a while but you’ve kept the old place looking spick and span. Apologies for the, ah, extended leave of absence. I’m hoping to be back more often. Whatcha all been up to?

    Best, C&D

    Glad to see you, C&D! I hope all is well with you. I've been continuing to churn out the Imaginary Conversations (sometimes with collaborators), paying an occasional visit to the S&BS, and so on- just as you'd expect!

    Good to see you back with us @Charmed & Dangerous. I noticed you'd been gone for a while. I've always liked your avatar picture of the DAF poster so it's good to see it again.
