OLDYELLOW Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 maybe we should be looking to resolve this and the ONLY people who can do this is Richard and Duncan I also feel that Stuart SHOULD have an input as far as the poll and prize goes reading through the threads I think the majority of members think (and I could be wrong ) the poll should be scrapped so what happens to the prize well its Christmas time and Christmas is a time for family and CHILDREN why not think about giving the prize to some young fancier and no I'm not talking about those members in the poll (AND IM NOT TALKING ABOUT MY JACK ) the future of the sport is in YOUNG FANCIERS I remember sending greeting to a young fancier in Scotland (I think) who in their first season was winning well young Sammy is another that comes to mind the poll was supposed to be a bit of craic (fun) I honestly don't think ANY of the members in the poll were really fussed about the prize more interested in the craic (fun) of it read down the list all the members apart from myself (and NO I never voted for myself the 1 vote) most are on giving advice birds and humour Hi Micko as i had stated in the previous poll i would not acept this 'prize for myself' indeed i would give it to little sam , if we all showed the little sams of this world a bit of kindness and help then this great sport will continue , theres many computer games that dont need attention 365 days of the year we need to encourage new blood and help and nurture them in to become our future champions , without them our sport will be put aside to the history books
Guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 Hi Micko as i had stated in the previous poll i would not acept this 'prize for myself' indeed i would give it to little sam , if we all showed the little sams of this world a bit of kindness and help then this great sport will continue , theres many computer games that dont need attention 365 days of the year we need to encourage new blood and help and nurture them in to become our future champions , without them our sport will be put aside to the history books hope your not trying to use it to get more votes.(dizzy)(evil)
OLDYELLOW Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 to be honest i dont care much about the votes at all , never joined the site to win any popularity contests
Roland Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 I would guess the way things have turned out on what started out as a bit of fun and to encourage people and ended up doing the total opposite there are very few that would want to get involved in being nominated or voting in any other polls run here And :(issn't that the sad part!
Chuck Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 This publicity gimmic was thought up by stuart to promote his buisness dealings with raymond whatsitsname,stuart knows a good thing when he sees one,and the £100 voucher for a squeaker would cost his buisness no more than £5 to bred 1or2 birds,because his stock birds,after breeding 2 rounds of youngbirds,would be doing nothing at all for the next 10 months of the year.£500 hard cash should have been the prize put up,a worthwhile amount for pigeon basics good cause charity. I think stuart should have the last say about this poll,to close or not,but if any other offer is made to pigeon basics in the future,at least £500hard cash should be put on the table ,because this site will give the sponsor plenty of views by many pigeon fanciers .
mark Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 And :(issn't that the sad part! there are many good people on here must be difficult to pick one as so many help in different ways.
just ask me Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 well i saidfrom the start that i didint agree with this just hope were not gong to harp on about it and get back to what the website about

Guest strapper Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 i think the site is ready to inplode , theres a lot of angry members now and i think its time for us all to rethink before our next post, if you want to lose the site and banter we have ,carryon with the slight hostilities and we might all have a lovely xmas and a happy new year without pigeon basics........now is the time to act sensible and not with anger....lets start a fresh and try to get back to pigeon basics and not chat basics. this constant bikering is spoiling it for youngsters on here and new members. at this time i wish everyone a happy xmas and wonderful new year.
gooner Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 could not agree more strapper i said the same thing on a thread about 2 weeks ago all this argueing does not look good to any new starter and will probably put them off the sport come on guys and girls lets move on
oscar_ Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 little sam looks good for the prize ,not a truerer word said old yellow ,hes keen as mustard
bluewhiteflight Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 little sam looks good for the prize ,not a truerer word said old yellow ,hes keen as mustard dont forget theres other youngsters who come on here too and are keen including young ben (redfoxes)
Roland Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 Well it's like in the Candy store... some lad nicks some sweets... others daren't But outside they all want a dip into them, and soon there is none for the first lad. Must say I believe some comments here are ludicriss and in very poor taste, Let alone sportsmanship!! Still I guess thay are 'Pigeon fanciers! Indeed, they are probably the very ones, and often first I dare say, to call others for the very spoilt and childish behavior they themselve are manifesting now! Just wait and try to be good children till the 'Teacher' gets back in class. My my, whatever next! telling tales as to why the Others shouldn't be allowed to be voted for... and why everyone else barr 'ME' shouldn't be voted for. Golly if any novice, necomer could see this rediculous babyish antic, they say 'Leave me out ... that sport deserves everything it gets! -Or don't get. Struth give over and blumming wait children OTHER have got a life... !
Guest Freebird Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 This is like being back at school(evil) I thought this was a bad idea and posted so at the time. I like Duncan and the site would suffer a big loss without him but no member is bigger than the site and if there is a problem and you wan't to persevere with this x-factor type thing then delay the voting until Duncans issues have been sorted out. This I think would be the fairest thing to do. If it is scrapped now then it will be forever cropping up. Get Duncan back on line then re-do the voting. I still feel it is'nt proper to single out any one individual from this great site. It's been very entertaining though(evil)
chickadee Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 Dovescot has not been banned from the site, nor indeed stopped from using it, he was pm'd from webmaster about his user warning on friday morning and was told it would be explained in further detail that day or over the weekend, he told webmaster he would wait on his reply. As yet there has been no reply.
Webmaster Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Posted December 22, 2008 There were a couple of nominated members that were left out of the original Pool A/B polls because of their conduct on the site. As I have said numerous times before I'm not willing to issue statements when members are warned and banned so I shant be going into any details other than it was unfortunate timing that DoveScot got his warning between the two polls. And after excluding other members from the original for the very same reason I believe it was only right to do the same here. When I posted the first polls there were several members conduct being looked into however I felt it unfair to exclude them from the poll before a decision had been made. I apologise that I have not posted up anything regarding this sooner. I will close the topic/poll at 6pm Monday evening.

Ulsterlofts Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 Well said Webmaster the rules are there for all not some.
maverick Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 The rules would work if they were the same for everyone but some on here can do as they like and say as they like
