Best Of

The great thing about this place is that there is no clutter - no adverts, no pop-ups, no tasteless 'news feeds' - just like the original Gasroom I guess.

Would be really sad to see it go. To be honest, I can't really keep up with all the threads, so I missed whatever it was that caused the recent upsets. In the end though, most of the time, it's just football, a welcome diversion for most of us, so it's a shame that occasionally things do turn and have turned a bit unpleasant.

Let's hope that some solution can be found. In the meantime, many thanks @drcongo for starting it all up and keeping it going for so long.

If the worst came to the worst I would welcome the opportunity to keep in touch with anyone interested in an occasional chat either by telephone, text or email.

Genuinely can't imagine supporting Wycombe without the Gasroom. I don't post here prolifically but I feel like I know so many of you despite never having met a single one. What a wonderful community this site has been.

I really hope we can find a way forward to create a Gasroom 3.0. The Dr mentions there is someone having discussions about potentially taking on the batton. Whoever you are, thank you, and please let us know what you need as I'm sure many of us would do whatever we can to support a new site.

@drcongo I can only add my thanks for all you've done. Gutted you're stepping away as this site is genuinely perfect, but I understand your reasons.

Life was so much easier in the era of pen friends.

Mad that a law could be so problematic for a forum like this, while Facebook and the like make a fortune serving up unsolicited illegal content on a minute by minute basis. But then legislators have always excelled at passing laws they don’t understand.

Fingers crossed someone can patch something together and thank you @drcongo for years of sterling service.

I have set up this as a backup https://www.reddit.com/r/Gasroom3/ but hopefully we won't have to use it.

In his post near the start of this thread @drcongo states “Complying with it would require expensive technical considerations (like scanning uploaded files, private messages etc.) as well as actual staffing”

if private messages were no longer supported and uploading files was prohibited I don’t think too much of what’s great about this place would be lost.

so, @drcongo, what would have to go to enable this place to continue, possibly as a paid for site, and free you of the threat of OSA transgressions? And most importantly would you even consider that with some additional admin help?

And if it’s to be closed, I’ll add my thanks for all you have done.
