is this site still on the go?
Thought I'd try to have a look at it today, but get a message up saying I've been banned from it, which is quite laughable.

Banned? What you been up to? You should be able to look in as a 'guest' I suppose. I can't remember my login, password or anything so I've not been on in a long time. Then again, maybe I'm banned an' all I must admit, it's never really been the same since the official one was closed down. This one's OK; very little aggro and occasionally informative. The other one was hit and miss on that score but there are still some top people on there. As far as I can remember anyway.

I don't even get as far as logging in and even on the statusquo.boards.net/ one I still get the you have been banned from this forum message.
I think I possibly was guilty of defending Quo a bit too much instead of pretending that it was only the FF that have ever existed..lol

I haven't actually tried to log in. I've got very little to contribute except to moan about the weather and getting old

I do have a look on there just to see if there is any news on it, but I do tire of the constant slagging of anything non FF.

The time for mbs is coming to an end I suppose, no matter which one. I doubt even the official mb would still be as lively these days as it used to be, no matter how many members it used to have. Facebook has seemingly taken over years ago and we're just some dinosaurs left over, who somehow aren't able to grasp the attraction of fb. It's obvious too that on here there's a lot of tolerance towards differing opinions, so heated discussions we definitely have not, the way it used to be. And the novelty of mbs has worn off as well. Mainly there isn't much left to discuss. The FF haven't been around for nearly 40 years by now apart from the reunion. Maybe a Mozart mb does exist too somewhere, but at some point in time you do tire of repeating the same topics endlessly. And with no new stuff to talk about, the mb becomes obsolet eventually. I sometimes wonder if this mb still makes sense, but as long as people come and contribute I guess I'll keep it going. At least the band does still exist and there's news occasionally - new album, new tour .. Provides you with the knowledge too that you're not the only Quo fan left in this world .

I'm sort of lucky in that I'm sitting at a desktop PC most of the day (how old fashioned is that? ) so I can nip in and out of here. If I had to access this place on my phone or a tablet, I probably wouldn't bother as much because the platform doesn't make it that easy to read or post. I tried Facebook about 10 years ago when Quo announced they were starting their own page but I found it a less than rewarding experience. I thought it was intrusive and I actually found it quite sinister how it was able to point out people who I might want to 'befriend' - and they were individuals I used to know but hadn't seen in years!! I gave it 10 minutes then deleted the account. So here I am, a decade later, social media free other than down here in the Quo cellar I also find it irritating that if Mrs Mortified looks at an advert on her Facebook timeline, I get adverts for the same companies at the top of this page and also down the side of my e-mails. Just what I want. Links to women's shoes and handbags. The lingerie I can deal with

The lingerie I can deal with im sat at a desk too with the keyboard n screen, rog would like to get rid of it all and just use the tablet laptop whatever it is but I tried it and didn't like it at all. he put me on facecloth (as I call it )2 years ago when we were in Tenerife, the next morning there was 126 requests to be my friend :oo: , he started calling out the names and I didn't have a feckin clue who they were.!!! it goes without saying.....I aint on it now.

I use the other site constantly due to preference and the higher traffic it receives tbh.
The only time I hop on this side these days are to check if I have any notifications or messages... Other than that, I rarely look in.
Can't stand a lot of the Quo groups on facebook because a lot of the members in them don't have a feckin' clue what they're on about most of the time
