Now we have 3 people attacked for something that happened on RMF, this should stay on there and not be put on any other part of the board. This is one of the things that people leave for, I am fed up with it and I know others are. This was one of the few boards I visit now, don't think I will be coming back as this is still going on.
Good bye everyone, this was a good board but unfortunately people seem to think it is ok to attack others on parts of the board that have nothing to do with what has happened.
Maybe if people kept any attacks to were they happened instead of trying to involve the whole board there would be more members posting.

(a recent poster in RMF comes to mind) and they will never be happy no matter what is done.
THats me I take it, lots of things make me happy, but I can say that being on here is not one of them, thank you to the person who alerted me about this, same old same old.
If you always do what you've always done you always get what you've always got.
I didn't like that either, having a go at a member like this is unnecessary, if you want to say something do it by pm, I don't like to see, and I know there are others like me, people taking pot shots at other members. It has also been brought from a part of the forum that some of us don't go to and don't want to see this on any board.

To be fair to Snow it seems she may be the only Staff member who comes on here now, if others do I haven't seen them for some time. Controlling a forum is quite a job, on your own it is really difficult even if the members are good, there is always something to do.
Like others I was upset over Snow's first post on here, but if she is the only Staff member on I can understand why.
-
Never done one but know people who have, they were really pleased with them.
Good luck, I don't even have any GCSEs, I went to a secondary modern school were they didn't do any exams, had loads of fun play about instead.

I never thought of getting a doll's house, love both sofas with dogs and pups on.

I click on the "View New Content" at the top right of the board, it brings up all the posts since my last visit.

Snow your first post has upset me as it seems to have upset others, it did come over as attacking the people who have been posting and keeping this forum going and it did look as if you wanted us to live in the past on what this forum has achieved. Yes it achieved a lot in the past but isn't now for whatever reason but you can't live on past achievements, everything has to move forward.
I posted a lot of dogs on here that need rescue places, I have 2 transport runs to post now, 1 is to get 2 dogs out of another pound to safety, one will be pts if we can't get him out.
Maybe there were negative things posted in this thread, it is how members feel or doesn't that matter? If members feel so negative about the forum then it won't survive, how do you know if the members are feeling negative if they don't say so.
Lack of communication causes a lot of problems, if members don't say they are not happy how can admin know? If admin doesn't know they can't do anything about it so the board just gradually disappears. Instead of having a go at the members who have posted on here what they think, we should be working together to bring the board back again.
I will post these transport runs because I am putting the dogs before how upset I am over your post, not sure what I will do after that.

I thought Dogstar had been going longer than 4 years, I have tried to follow Dogstar's progress but it is easy to forget what happen earlier and this shouldn't be forgotten. Sometimes we meet a dog and know that we have to go further than we intended, Mango was one of them for Sam.
-
You had me worried then, thought I had missed it, I had but it was lower down than this and the phone went, only just got back.
It is dropping down the page which is a pity.

I am a rescue rep and am here and The Oldies post quite a bit.
I once pm a mod, I did get a reply several weeks later to say that they don't come here very often now. I do usually get a quick reply from Snow.
-
When you get the time or ask someone else to do it, can you put up how Dog Star started please?
I know a lot of people are very interested in how rescues started, this one in particular because of were it is and what it has achieved. Once the story is up please can it be stickied so it is easy to find.

2) I genuinely think RMF has sucked the life out of the forum for people who dont' visit as often. They can't keep up with the speed of it, and it's got to the stage where people put everything in there and almost nothing - even lovely photos or great news, or questions that really merit more thought - goes in a new thread.
RMF terrifies me so I don't go there, going back to just after this started there were complaints that people posted there and not anywhere else, this is true, very recently I have found out people who have left haven't, they only post on RMF.
A lot of information goes on there but not on here, those that are like me too frightened of it or those too busy to go on etc. don't know what is going on and are missing a lot. I am not suggesting that RMF is done away with but if people posting information on there would also post it here there would be a lot more reason to come back.
I can't keep up with RMF and as I am very good at putting my feet into things and getting things wrong, I keep well away.

I can post the dogs that we are trying to find rescue places for, it may bring some of the rescues back. We have some very lovely, cute dogs that are easy to home as well as lots of Staffies, we haven't lost one yet, always managed to find somewhere apart from poor Dino who is in a foster home.

My face has never fitted in but it doesn't stop me, I just keep away from anyone who is negative to my posts. Many of the people who were cliquey have moved on, there may not be as many posts now but I find the nice people have stayed, pity some of the nice people have also gone but their circumstances may have changed and it has nothing to do with the board.
Many on here are working hard in various forms of rescue, like me they may not be able to read every post, already this morning I have put up 7 dogs needing rescue places on several forums and updated many more, lost count of them and it is only 9.15am. I like to chat which I can't do on many forums, in fact apart from this and one other, all the forums I post on is to find rescue places for dogs and try and organise transport runs for them.
The members here were very good when I was looking after my husband and when he passed away, I can never thank them enough for that, there were people who didn't want to know but that is there problem not mine.
I registered as Mrs Mop because of some of the members, I didn't want them to know it was me, some took every chance they could to attack me, now it isn't needed, they haven't been here for a long time.
We can't get on with everyone all the time, we can still treat them with respect, if I don't like a post I walk away from it and I am sure most if not all of us do that at times.
It may have been cliquey at one time but haven't found it for quite some time. I reply to posts when I have something to say, if I don't I don't reply, that doesn't mean I am not interested in what the person has said.

For the moment I would keep him seperate from the others, this will also reduce all their stress levels which is important, as well as keeping your other dogs safe.
I suspect this isn't a behaviour problem but could be wrong, I would have him checked by a vet, there are many reasons why a dog attacks others like this and it could also be a health problem of one of the other dogs. When Ellie's breathing was bad Bonnie would attack her, she was always right, once this had been solved Bonnie was lovely with Ellie. As Ellie had breathing problems by killing Ellie she was stopping her from suffering, Bonnie didn't know that vets could help Ellie.
By having your dogs checked you will know if it is or isn't a health problem, if it isn't you can then start to work on the behaviour.

I would love to homecheck her, we can have a good chat over a cuppa

He is gorgous,
He has accepted Reiki. -
At 15 years old I agree with Jeanne, my Joe used to have seizures from a young age which were mainly caused by food allergies or if he was stressed. At this age quality of life is more important and that quality of life also includes as little as possible done at the vets.
Jeanne, if you put a photo up I can send him Reiki which may help.

I have just received an email about your post, it is this sort of nastiness that many, not all,there are other reasons why, that members have left. I don't care what you think, everyone is human and often react first, doesn't stop us seeing reason later.
Just because I was upset when I first read a post then saw it differently later doesn't mean there is a turnround. Maybe if you did more "Turnrounds" you wouldn't write such drivel.
If anyone does email me again about this board it will be deleted, I don't want to associate with nasty people.
