Alternative R4 boards

[Feta]

This is a short selection of message boards which have been set up as the BBC reduces it's commitment to the format in favour of blogs. Some of them never really took off, and some are a little risque. I'll put any others up as they are suggested to me...

And on a tangent ('sadly, off topic, here'), my website for keeping discussion of trolls, good and/or bad, off 'nice' boards...

Two new boards. First, Alt.Mustardland:

Secondly, the Bowman Boards (which might be a bit Smeesue-ish):

Thanks for posting all of the message boards

No worries. Ex Radio 4 (is that a deliberate pun?) does seem to be in the front running, and if that really si Leigh Aspin, that's another reason to sign up...

Edited for typos (the chips were ready!)

Bumped and stickied...

Are you going to add s4.zetaboards.com/Radio4forum/index/ to the list, Joe? Only 42 users to date, but a lot of them are active and posts are running at around 200 per day - Hyperstar's forum is lucky to get 50 at the moment.

[Feta]

Is it really that many posts, Tickle? The boards didn't seem as busy as that, not since I became aware of it last week. I thought it could have gathered more momentum if Caissier had let me in on the secret a bit sooner, and it was Mobson's degree of disingenuity in not saying what the site was when she asked to advertise it that made me say I'd only consider joining after she did post the link on the links page. No sign of that yet...

Oh, I can't stay mad at that whiskery face. Sure I'll open the gates...

[waiting4atickle]

I guess it's a bit slow on the serious threads, Joe, but it's Mornington Crescent that drives the numbers - just over 50% of posts have been made there - and most of the MC stalwarts have already crossed over. It would help if there were a few more contributors on the other sections.

It doesn't look as if hyper's bulk email has had much effect so far - it may be that most people were so peed off with HS that they didn't even read it.

[Feta]

Oh, I meant to ask if it was on the games section. I see people on other boards with 20,000 posts and more, and it invariably turns out that they did this by

I'm currently getting an error when I try to access the Radio4forum. Anyone else get that..?
