Pigeon Watch down?

[sikamalc]

It appears to be a badly run and moderated forum which has declined to the point where most members have left.
However I have removed two posts as a personal name and address was mentioned.
Personally I have never really looked at the site and have no interest in it what so ever.
But please keep personal information off the site as its an open forum.
Thank you

Forums are like people, all different, some you like some you wont.
I find forums like pubs, some i drink in and some i dont, i decide where i feel comfortable, and avoid those i dont.

You will have no future concern getting banned by Zap, he died some time ago, a loving father of i think 2 young children and his wife.

JDog was one of the few really knowledgeable, decent guys on there. Took a young lad who was frustrated with lack of permissions etc under his wing and really helped him on his way. A very unusual couple, a well spoken southern old gent with a tough, salt-of-the-earth northern lad but their rapport was evident in their videos and write ups. Jack was banned. Walker570 was another good one, an old retired policeman and very knowledgeable shot… effectively banned for refusing to accept a warning. LondonGun too was frequently banned despite a life of shooting and gun making. Ah well.

Never forget the legend that was …… BurnleyDave

What about the mad man from Romney Marsh (Rob) I still catch up with him twice a year.

Im sure it was a few years ago now, it was very sudden.

Met the guy a few times had no issues seemed a nice chap, like a few on there some have been cockwobbles but as i mentioned before we're all different.

That’s very sad to hear. Devastating for his family in particular.

Lying in bed and just realised I've dropped a big clanger. It was Beardo NOT Zap that passed away.

Ah yes ok, I was aware that Beardo had died young. Still very sad and, even if misattributed, a reminder that behind each online persona there is a real person.

Pigeonwatch is a limited company, so all details are freely viewable on the companieshouse site.

My main gripe was not being able to post links to stuff that was available to buy online if it competed with the Pigeonwatch sponsors' products.

There are one or two trolls who don’t even shoot who are on there and it just makes it tedious. General License circular conversations, BASC persecution loops, fluffy baby pearl clutching. I am fortunate that I have never had a real beef with anyone, but I meet a lot of members in the flesh and they are all good guys. People seem to mainly use it to post videos or part articles with links to their Instagram / YouTube / website to boost their traffic without actually interacting with anyone. These “content creators” should be on a trade membership in my opinion.
