Errr....that's not what I remember from 2003. You need to ask Roy and maybe someone like Mick as to what the original intention was in creating this site, but I do recall that when I first came on here back in September '03 most of the threads revolved around who was guilty of pinching someone elses biscuits.

Ah...happy days.

I did not decry the three new forum members as posting for their own gain and if you would care to glance back over the thread you will find that I welcome the views of Tory councillors to bring some balance to arguments. AccyWeb is no stranger to the Hyndburn council chambers so it would be nice to hear some views from the Conservative councillors without posting under secret names.

Run that one past Robert Owen

You obviously know nothing about me. Don't start accusing me of things like someone else did a while back, he or she looked really foolish in the end.

I have no allegiance to any person or party.

Community wise I do what I do to improve Rhyddings Park for everyone including myself and if that makes me selfish then so be it.

I have only recently become involved with projects covering the whole of Hyndburn and not just those on my own doorstep. We have discussed this before and I suggested you become involved with the other group I am involved with. I do hope you will be.

I work with whoever wants to be involved and I do not intend to discuss who does and does not want to be involved on an open forum as I will be accused of complimenting some people and insulting others. Ask me about if if we ever meet and I will explain what I mean.

Now, Now, Ken, wherever did you get that idea from?

Accyweb was created by a lad in his mid twenties so that he and his friends/families could be in touch with their friends/loved ones, (pass the bucket, how the and times have changed) while they worked abroad,

It went through it's years of development until it reached this form of 'Maturity'.

It has become a local forum for all that are interested in the area in almost, any sphere.

The unfortunate thing is that o.k. it has a history that History is that it struggled for the first several years to gain members, but those of us there, back then, had fun, most of the time was spent in anything goes, with the occasional Tsk at what is going on in the real World.

The Site has moved on, it and it's owner have matured a little, however with that maturity comes the fact that you soon realise there are people ready to take advantage.

Some do it by never moving from buy, sell and swap, (Oh yes the admin knows who you are and the bill is forthcoming).

Some do it by creating a controversial thread and never moving from there, but stirring it all the same.

Some like yourself come on, are absolutely enthusiastic and dip in to just about everywhere, as I once mentioned about you, becoming, 'All things to all men'.

Of the whole bunch, I think yours is the better attitude get mixed in with everyone and I do think you try to be helpful, but,

Please, don't ever suggest that accyweb was started to for political discussion, that was never the case, it was developed to be a laugh between friends with the odd excursion into serious topic's.

I've said it before, I'm about to repeat myself,

can we please have the old accyweb back?

The fun things we used to do no matter what party, religion, or in fact anything, because we used to look at all these things for the funny side.

Take a look through the archives of accyweb in Anything goes, if any of us try to start such wonderment now even the mod's get nervous instead of joining in.

I didn't join until I 'fell' into the site by accident in October 2004...so I guess the site was a teenager then....and yes it was fun.
I sat here many an evening with tears of laughter streaming down my face......it was different back then, but it has evolved into a very good all round site, with something to suit almost everyone....and that in itself is agreat achievement....and I hope Roy realises this.
For some folk on here it is their social life.......because they are in the situation that means they cannot get out of their homes easily......and we feel like a family.....we worry about folk if they have not been on for a few days.
And if there is something that you need...put out a call on Accyweb and it does its magic.

I know that all this does not just 'happen'...it takes work and effort.
Thank you to those who keep this site running, and those who make the interesting microcosm that it is.

Psst' Margaret, don't tell anyone, but if you look at anyone's details the earliest date is 2004, that's because one time when Roy was updating the sites software, he reached for his can, spilt it over the D for Delete key and had to put every members details in again by hand, what the hey, he thought, Jan' 2004 seems a good date to copy and paste everyone from...

Margaret Pilkington · 07-05-2010, 15:07

too late Less, you have just spilled the beans.

What? are you saying some of the Archives are missing?

It's that Roy with the slippy beer can's again, what section was he in this time?

Morecambe Ex Pat · 07-05-2010, 16:27

I like Acyweb because it keeps me in touch with things happening in the town of my birth. Since moving to the frozen North, I have been kept informed of events which even my parents, who still live in Accy, are unaware of.
My life doesn't revolve around Accyweb but it is nice to see that the old fashioned neighbourhood spirit is alive and well even though it has grown up and popping in through computers has replaced popping in for a coffee, strangers are still becoming friends through just helping each other.
I know people don't always see eye to eye but I hope that the majority of members on here respect the views of others and accept that we are all individuals with our own view point.

See what I mean? Any old riff raff can post these day's!

That's clearly a big misunderstanding on my part so I'll apologise.

However, I would like to think that in the coming months it will become clear that I have not been using AccyWeb to further my own political career and it is one of the few things stated about me that I have found unacceptable.

Tealeaf · 07-05-2010, 19:08

OK Ken.....Accy Web is now a big tent. All are welcome, be it for the purposes of serious dicussion, local issues and history, Footy or just acting the fool and 'owt in between. But it's not here for commercial profit - there are other places for that.
