Bring back Mooksta! What did he say anyway?


forgive me easyjetter if im intefering but as i see it the chatroom was opened because admin pulled the plug on this forum and there chatroom at yahoo, the badger set chatroom wasn't opened just to dicuss the subject of michael it was to keep in touch with friends because we didn't know when and if the forum was gonna be up and running again .

I thought we had made it quite clear last time when we asked people to avoid direct attacks on others. Here is our previous posting.

WARNING: Forum Rules

Birmingham UK Com does not endorse this story. Whatever the aim and ambitions of the writer the content on this forum should be considered as fiction. In our view it is simply a story. If anyone is affected by the content or children are reading this then let your parents know you are reading it, particularly if you are concerned in any way. Parents should be responsible and monitor their childrens internet activities.

This forum will not be allowed to continue as a slanging match or tolerate any bickering whatsoever. What started off nicely has rapidly gone downhill with accusations and references made to several members of the forum.

The postings have been edited to remove any content that may offend including replies and responses to statements made in anger. All references to persons identities real or otherwise should have been removed. Many have registered under false email addresses. New members will be required to provide a real address verification. If any offending content remains please let us know.

Under no circumstances will racial comments, accusations, distastful references or remarks to other forums or persons, profanity or derision of religious or sexual preferences are not tolerated and are NOT allowed
on this forum and will result in an instant ban. No correspondence will be entered into with regard to decisions made and the moderators decisions will be final.

Some are under the impression that having a busy forum has been good for us. Whilst we welcome our friendly visitors and admire the tact and skill with which many have contributed, the whole Michael Pennington episode has cost us a lot of time and effort for a nil return. In fact, its extra bandwidth for a site already receiving over 3000 unique visitors a day. These are visitors interested in Birmingham and the West Midlands. This is its real purpose.

The golden rule is be nice! Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Some people killed it!

All the very best to everyone involved.

Weavo: We stopped previous uploading of avatars and remote images in signatures some time ago when we tightened up the security of the Message Forum. If you have an avatar of your own just let us know the location of the avatar by PM and we will arrange for it to be uploaded.

Bans: The above is clear on this. Georgie I think the person you were referring to has also been banned. Badger to answer your question and to be fair to Mooksta Michael has also been stopped from posting.

If anyone can offer a more suitable environment or forum for his, or anyone elses continuation of this epic then please post your suggestions here so that Michael and others can start to use someone elses hospitality. Perhaps this can continue on a forum elsewhere.

Best Regards

Most of my postings have been in relation to the story, just to add content. Just going with the flow. The Chat room was opend by demand as the birmingham chat room, which was also has no mod for long periods of time had closed down.
To be honest Easyjetter, i am just not interested in this anymore, and i realt dont want to get into a debate with you.
But as you have started to pull my posts apart, i have a question for you,
Why if you work for an airline would you not know about the mysterous JANET. I am sure this JANET would have cropped up in your tea breaks at some point regardless of what department you work in. I feel Not knowing JANET while working for an airline, is like saying a historian has never heard of the battle of 1066.
This statement was not to couse offence. and i am also bored of posting here now.

Wow, been away for one day cause I was too ill to even think about the computer, and all hell has broken loose.

I take this "story" for what it is, a story, I am interested in hearing the conclusion to it, so if you are still around Micheal, please post it so we can read it.

I think it is sad that people have to be banned for just saying it as they see it, I really thought that the whole point to a forum such as this was to enable people to "discuss" things. Unfortunately, as is the case in everyday life, not everything that people say is what we want to hear, but heh, if we all took offence at the things that people have to say, we would not talk to anyone at all. So to rap this post up and get off my soap box, lighten up folks, take a chill pill and just wait to see if we can finally get to read the last part of this incredible "story"

Love and light (and no offence meant to anyone) Sam.

Thankyou Admin!

Glad you don't mind, we have got a few members now from around the world, and from different forums, but all coming back to this one, it just goes to show how much interest Michael has created!

Sorry you are having problems again, I hope it's sorted out soon icon_biggrin.gif

How are you? Been back to Oldbury to take any more piccies, the ones you did were stunning!

Hello admin - thanks for your reminder of the rules.

Just to be clear on this --- have you banned Michael? so he will not be allowed to return here with the conclusion to his story?

Hi everyone

Been busy at work recently, so I don't get on the board as much as I used to.

I am very sorry to read that admin are having problems. I didn't realise it was making them so much extra work and for this may I apologise.

I have always felt slightly responsible for what happens on this forum, and so would not do anything to harm or hurt anyone. I have made some new friends from this and are happy to hear from anyone at any time.

My real interest is still true hauntings and hope to hear more stories at some point. May I thank Penticle for her stories, I enjoyed reading them.

Nice to meet new people from around the world.

Love

Pat

Hiya

How on earth do you ban a ghost! But, there again, maybe on earth is not the right wording!!!!!!!!


Where is this all leading? Is it a book, a play, someone trying to write a story, whoever it is - is a very cleaver and gifted writer.

If Michael is a ghost can he prove it? How does he prove it?

Anyone looking at this site for the first time should also look at the rest of the site to find out more about Birmingham. I agree with admin, they are getting nothing out of this, but a whole load of work.

This site is to promote Birmingham, are we doing that?

Birmingham now has so much to offer now, so have a look at the rest of the site please. You will be amazed!!!!!!!!

Bye for now

Pat

We've had our ghosts. We've had our aliens. (Are we 'alien' to aliens?)

Now I wish we could have one whopping good faerie or even a wayward genie.

I'll toss out my extra two wishes and wish for one thing - to have the clock turned back just enough that our bannished members would return and that Michael would finally post the conclusion to his story. This is like pulling East Enders off in mid season without comment. *sigh*

Michael said there would be a conclusion and I so wanted to hear what it would be.
*said like a petulant little girl*

I love you all. With all your various beliefs and moods. I especially love how everyone said what was on their minds, even when it came off as wacky or cranky. This has been one of the most fascinating discussion groups I could imagine and everyone did their best.

When I get to come across the pond I'm going to make Birmingham a definite highlight of my trip. icon_smile.gif

Now get that darned faerie/genie in here and give us a wee miracle!!!

For every email or PM we get requesting someone is banned or removed we get an email or PM asking for them to come back. Its almost as confusing as this story is. It was better before the aliens arrived on the scene. Weve lost interest in it since but the only request we have is for everyone to abide by the rules. We cant please everyone and we dont want to be forced to get involved.

Avoid posting criticism at people. With all due respect easyjetter Badger was around way before most others so go easy hes been nothing but helpful to everyone.

The worst thing about this is having to get involved and ban anyone. Please just try and be nice. Most bans should have been lifted. Let us know if you get any problems logging in.

Best regards

(Dusts self down and replaces Fedora back on head)

Just so I'm clear the reason for me being banned was for a personal attack on a character in a story. (Please gentle beings no literary discussion in here).

Still leaves the question though-
Has Mike (The Ghost) placed his trust in the"visitors" who's methods of contact are suspect?
Or indeed has the writer made a boo boo!!
(oops was that literary discussion)
Nice to be back and thanks for your comments, (most of you). As for having an unstable mind, maybe I do, maybe I don't, but I ain't buying into this for a moment. (sane me thinx)
Just so we're all clear, I gave up on the story a long time ago, I am not here to see what Mikey says, I'm here to watch the circus surrounding it and to unmask the ghost (Scooby Doo style of course).

As ever
Mooks

Tracey, right back at you sister, where you been girl?
Kat, Phee, thanks for the welcome back. No fun being dead (slap me now).
Professor, as always your humble henchman, cheers my B&W chum.
Now I've had a chance to read back the posts - cheers to most of you fellows - it would appear that a happy group is evolving, we're talking and debating. And we all have the same goal I believe!
anyhoo
nice to be back
Mooks out

Hiya

You like Eastenders then, I'm addicted to it. I watch it usually on a Sunday afternoon.

I also like Coronation Street, but, my favorites are factual programme.

I was watching 'Men of Iron', which was brilliant, it was about, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, you know, the man with a big hat. and quite dishy for a Victorian chap!!!!!!!!!

Maybe he is a friend of Michaels'. I don't know, are you able to meet spirits from different time zones in the afterlife?

If so, could I find out more about history and speak to the people who made it?

Maybe, all will be made clear in future episodes of Michael's Story.

Love Pat
