Most of face book is taken up with  "Is this Real", "How Much is it Worth"  and you can spend hours doing other`s  work for them, So maybe a proper forum would work thats not a pack of yes men  

Here,here!One thing this Forum lacks are the GIFs for I'd use an applauding Leonardo DiCaprio now

Yes we did Lenny,

 

My Mum came from 5, Quarry Street, Wishaw....Met my Dad while on leave in Edinburgh at the castle ???

Then from the Western Desert, through Sicily across to Salerno for the Italian Campaign and re-called back to the UK with the 8th Army, rested (Met my Dad while on leave in Edinburgh at the castle ???) and prepared for D-Day in which he landed on Sword Beach in the afternoon of 6th June 1944, fought up through France, Belgium, Holland and into Germany with Monty's 21st Army Group.

I’d like to add,if I may,that Fabesuck is full of obnoxious dumbabies who think they can say anything from behind their effing screens.This morning a guy posted a Das Reich cufftitle coming from an estate of a War correspondent and one of the resident dumbabies posted “Oh,somebody must have lost his life then!”.

And here it comes the umpteenth “collector” posting a watchamacallit not to find out what it is but to ask “how much is worth””?”.

We’ve backed the right horse,methinks!🤗

P.S.;how on Earth do you guys post them GIFs!😊

At last, the friendly banter is back, I,ve missed this over the last several months, I,ve always thought that this was one of the best forums out there, because of the members, theres rarely any nasty comments, and if any occur its dealt with swiftly, and professionally, plus its a helpful forum and an excellent place for new,young collectors to gain some knowledge. But have you all noticed that the return was simple, as if none of us have been away, and how quickly this has progressed, many more members etc. Now if any of you leave me again I shall hunt you down and let the air out of your tyres, see, see how nasty I can get, be afraid, be very afraid!!!!!!!!!

I quote here what one WAF long time user said:

I tried to have a look at the Scottish site, hardly any forum topics visible (I assume you have to subscribe as a member before you get to see anything....) so I can't judge. In any case, a forum invisible to non members is fatally flawed if you want to attract new members.

So Lenny, what's your take on that? Maybe flexing up the rules little bit to attract WAF people...?

Agreed. I’ll make all forums visible, but you need to register to comment. Hold on, just in from the fishing..
