Today I call a strike on this forum. Whaes for us ,damn few, an they are all deid

You should have put this under Site Stuff jollyg. They read that.

I think they should give us an honest answer as to why the profiles arenot back. Are we really the poor relations of the Other Place, and therefore can have no attention from a Tech?

Do you mean people who make a big thing out of searching the web for competitions kitty? I agree with you. But, of course, once someone - anyone - has signed up to GN, that's another one to add to the number of members. Which in trun encourages advertisers.

I guess we have to accept it is a business. They don't really do it for the love of older people.

Kerching!

Who are the professionals winning all the prizes ?

I'm certainly not ^a professional in my GN life but I've been very lucky to have won several books, the first time ever in my life.

I'm not going on strike but I agree with most of your points jollyg.

We have asked loads of times for reinstatement of the profile page and who posted last. Most of us don't like the daily email thingy either.

I also find it irritating that 'professionals' win lots of prizes.

Some folks are never satisfied!

I don't know about going on strike (who would notice?!) but I do wish they'd keep the Discussions of the Day list up to date. How long has that Weevils 'joke' been up there...?
