Together with TP, I am a moderator on a scarf-knitting forum
Then I am a regular at Deaton's Jamesbondwatches Blog
Thinking about making the misty-eyed fans being covered by their own forum though
President of the 'Misty Eyes Club'.
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
I'm a member of *another Bond site* but I have to use my limited time better these days.
This is the site for serious conversation without trolls, specific actor hate (mr. misty eyes notwithstanding ) ) & unnecessary drama IMO.
In terms of actual Bond forums this is the only one I frequent. A lot of the ones I found when looking for Bond forums at the start of the year were pretty much dead.
I can remember buying computer mags, inputting several pages of code
To make a car drive round an oval track. Well really it looked like a block
Going round a thick black line, ) and if you went off the track the whole
thing crashed . Ah! Happy days.

Unbelievable! An admin on CBn named Dustin, a real tool, banned me for using the same word (which was "bull-sh*t") he himself used in response to my post. Wow, talk about an abuse of power as a way to win an argument, a bully through and through in how he posts in threads and through forum administration, what a loser! The ban was for a month, but I've asked him to just delete my account.

Good for you -{
I've always found your posts extremely knowledgeable, informative and
Entertaining. It's their loss. Anyway, We have way better mods on AJB -{

Thank you, TP! Yes, we do have better mods who bore through "occasional" stubborness and yet have been more than fair and accommodating to me through the years.

Yea, we can be...probably me more than most...but I always try and give second chances where I can (sometimes too many 'second chances')...but as said above...we are happy to have you here -{

That's pretty outrageous, but as TP says it's their loss.
Can I just ally myself to what my friends have said above? Glad you're one of us, supes.

Thanks Barbel, BL, Sir Miles, TP, everyone for your support and most especially, your welcome, which really means a lot to me at this time. I believe I was going on 10 years there and had just recently reached my 100th post!
BTW, I was able to access their site using my friend's computer (I guess my IP address is flagged) and see that my profile still exists like my propped up corpse, despite me responding to their forum email to delete my account; I also saw this person's "ban warning" to me that he posted after the fact, much much later...very insidious indeed!

On joining a forum like AJB, you ego does take a hit, in fact a few hits.
If you're like me, then you are " The Bond Guy " where you live, and no one
Has ever questioned your views and opinions, so Happy days. :x
Then you join a forum, and are a little taken aback when everyone isn't
Down on their knees praising your every thought and views on all things
Bond. next you realise, that even though you've been into Bond since
You were a kid, Some people have the Effrontery to know much more about
the film/book/ history/ collecting .... Than you do ! X-(
So that's a couple of hits for your ego.
If you are a bit of an assh*le, you fight against this and try and prove yourself
Correct all the time, arguing over the tiniest little thing. Getting a bit rude with
others. ( I went down that route on first joining , luckily I was given a second
chance {[] )
If you're smart, you'll be thankful that you've found a forum filled with so many
People who know so much about the Books/ Films etc, and who are willing to
answer any question. -{
I can honestly say the kindness and generosity shown to me by the members
and Friends on AJB, would have my bottom lip wobble in a soft girly sort of
Way, only I'm far too macho to do something as soft as that. )
Sure a couple I've pm'ed haven't responded but I'm sure they want their privacy.
Before joining AJB I did look at a few forums, but AJB seemed to have a great
Sence of humour, and unlike some it's very active, maybe I'm a bit too active
but If I can respond to anyone's question or either agree or argue with someone's
post then I do.
I can still remember the old "little Britain" catch phrase ( changed slightly ) for
AJB " I was the only Bond fan in the village " , so it's great to be able to discuss
and comment with other friends and I think if people can keep in mind that
Basically we all all a bunch of Bond bores sitting around a pub table talking,
a load of what non fans would think of as Boll*cks ! )

Comments
As for non-Bond forums, I'm on the following:
1. Airliners.net
2. Australian Ford Forums
3. Whirlpool Forums
4. Diecast Aircraft Forums
I'm also a member on Trekspace and PPRuNe but rarely (if ever) post.

Found the AVTAK game far too complex so it went back to W.H. Smith.
But I was amazed how the characters actually looked more life-like than Roger Moore in the film.
Behold the life like graphics ste.

All my spelling mistakes , ( it's my phones fault )
My mate had the printer for the spectrum - it was more like a till roll!
I was more a C64 man myself! Happy days when gaming was fun, kind of appreciated the games back then!!!
