Title: Whatever happened to Wats-on?
Post by: Canada Darrell™ on June 28, 2012, 03:31:05 AM
Haven't seen a post from him since last November. I know I haven't been as active lately but I came to this board in the middle of a long-term disability and had more time on my hands than I knew what to do with. Now that I'm back to normal my time is somewhat limited.

Somehow, harmless as we may be, we seem to chase some people away. Williamsfan, Jugirl, Wats-on.  :DntKnw:

Wats-on always noted he had pc problems,I hope that's
the reason he's been inactive.

Hers to wishing things are ok is his world.Williamsfan too

Normal?  You?

My guess is that in the off season he forgot about us

I hope he's OK. He did a great job with his quiz.

The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.

You are not Red Star? Unbelievable!! Well Scott said she didn't like the GG rules for 2012, and David said she contacted him through You Tube (?) and it didn't sound like she was coming back. :'(

I thought you were a red star too Darrell...gotta get posting, buddy.  I think you need about 2000 posts to get in there.  That's where the money is  ;)

The rules have pretty much been when there's a question we work it out
among ourselves.Usually the first couple of weeks with different daylight
saving times around the world we try to be a little more lenient.Some
people interpret that as a unfair game which  I'm sorry they feel that way.

To me it comes down to one thing,it's there for the fun of it.F1Fan joined late and
seems to be enjoying himself in the spirit it was intended

I do not know the issues regarding people leaving for the sake of GG, but what I feel like this is a game we play among ourselves for fun, and for the fun only. There is no financial benefit, no grand prize like a ticket to a grand prix, which is there in many other websites, but there is a soul in this competition. Its like playing in the backyard with your own very best friends, sharing the joy of closeness, with the rule and everything set by your own people, for the celebration of togetherness.

I was initially hesitant for not being prepared enough, but with the Dare's perseverance, I realized you don't need to be prepared at all for having fun.

Special thanks to Dare, for making me join the fun

Well said BD - can we call you BD? It's easier to type than the rest.  Makes me think of a hilarious character in the comic strip Doonesbury...

The prizes are great mementoes F1, when I won it in 2008 one of the prizes was a chequered flag signed by all the drivers on the grid of the 2007 Spanish GP, with a certificate of authenticity, what a keepsake.

Well it feels special to be here, it really does

@Scott : Yeah sure, it will be a privilege to be called BD, and yeah that cartoon character is a real funny one, though I have little resemblance with him

@Dare : What can I say, just big hug!!

It took a long time to find a group of people, regardless of their background, they are absolutely devoted to this sports. To be among them just feels awesome. Hope to stay as much as possible and be part of this gang..

Thanks to everybody..everybody...
