Everyone involved in making TFF possible both paid and volunteer does their best to make it as useful and friendly as possible and does so with genuine passion and desire for its long term success

It’s impossible to please everyone all the time and I appreciate it’s not always easy for users to understand why we have to make some of the deccisions that we do but they are never without serious thought or without good reason and professionalism.

Members make it what it is and rest assured no one has lost sight of that. All forums go thorough evolution and changes overtime and TFF is no different. As a business TFF has had a few difficult issues to work through over the last 18 months, they are not matters for public debate however for both legal and individuals privacy reasons and are all hopefully behind us now allowing more focus and investment on making TFF everything it’s users want it to be

TFF is a great resource and I learn something everyday on here a lot of which has changed the way I farm even and I’m sure I’m not alone in that, Farming would be a lot less intesteting place without TFF and it’s members both new and old

For the moderators especially it’s often a thankless task so I know they really do appreciate the occasional thread like this or pm they receive that says a bit of a thank-you

Anyway enough virtual hugging - go post some stuff about farming !

Most sensible members appreciate the forum and realise that you're hoping to make a few quid out of it , seems fair to me .

It’s cost me more to date that’s I’ve had out of it and we continue to invest. For others involved it is both their place of work and livelihood however im happy to say.

There are times when it feels like a pointless and thankless task but thankfully they are outweighed by the good stuff that also happens in here

Yes. Perhaps things have happened that don't suit us all. And things will no doubt happen again!But the last thing we want is to see the forum becoming a lesser place. To the vast majority of us it's an asset for FREE.! Over 30,000 members so it must be doing something right;)
I think one of the main +s is that it is 30,000 from all over the world that not only highlight the different strategies and approaches here to problems and tasks but everywhere and it is what goes on to help people improve as though things might not suit everyone or fit their farm or workplace or scale but it gives you ideas to try yourself ways that you can tweak your system and contacts that you might not otherwise make if you only had the local mart or dealers.

It also gives everyone a place that helps them come back down to earth when they're p@&£#* off at the world as everything seems to go wrong and reminds you that you're not alone and that there are often others in worse crap which in some cases it is literal usually mixed in with a bit of mud, there is alway help when you need, an unassuming ear if you need to vent and always someone to make you laugh when you need it the most.

Dammit I'm going all mushy I'm blaming the op and lambing.

Nah we are all a bunch of softies and it's nowt to be ashamed of ;) but thanks @Clive for this forum. It's the second forum I have been a part of and, ik I shouldn't, but I would rate it as the best one I've ever been a part of. The people I've met on here are amazing, lovely folk and without you thinking up this website... I never would have met these amazing people, so I think it's time I said a big hearty thanx. Im not just saying it either :) the advice and support on here is top notch too. So a massive thanks to everyone and I hope to have many more happy years here x

Just nice to chat sometime to like minded people or even those that have a similar background but view things differently to debate certainly more interesting than listening to some of those I went to school with who tend to fit into two categories the ones who like to brag be it about jobs or places they've been to like the time they roughed it in Myanmar and Cambodia when their idea of roughing it and what the locals would call roughing it are interested different and then there are those who rather than doing something about it rail against the world because they screwed around at school and flunked their exams and can still only get a job in a fast food joint as a server when they are closer to forty than thirty and it is everybody else's fault

The milk of human kindness is flowing freely.





It smells of bleach in here :wtf::stop::LOL:

Trust me better than the smell of realising that just after kneeling in the bit of guts that you missed after helping a ewe with two rotten lambs innthe passageway only for it to turn into a lamb and 2 half lambs a week ago you've just stepped in a load of dogs...:sick:
