    Have you noticed the forums get quiet around Christmas?

    Just an observation really!

    I post on a couple of consumer forums, though mostly here, and notice that things get very quiet on the run up to Christmas.

    Obviously the last thing that people want to be thinking about is owing money when they are busy spending it!

    And on another rant has anyone seen that Littlewoods advert which has a bunch of kids asking Mum to buy them lots for Christmas and then giving out all the expensive consumer gadgets?

    Bah humbug!

    Thought I'd start early.......;.
    "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

    The consumer is that sleeping giant.!!

              We already have 1400+ members, but I have wiped over 400 of them as they are spammers

              But if you look at the last member to joins ID that'll tell you the real number so being the newest member is ShoeGirl - notice her member number "member.php?u=1415"

              I'm the forum administrator and I look after the theme & features, our volunteers & users and also look after any complaints or Data Protection queries that pass through the forum or main website. I am extremely busy so if you do contact me or need a reply to a forum post then use the email or PM features offered because I do miss things and get tied up for days at a time!

              If you spot any spammers, AE's, abusive or libellous posts or anything else that just doesn't feel right then please report them to me as soon as you spot them at: webmaster@all-about-debt.co.uk
