Mr Angry 1,554 Posted September 6, 2022 @PeteRaven, @Pete RavenThank you for your work on this messageboard over the years, and good luck in your new venture. I’m sure that I had received a few e-mails over the years to tell me that I had overstepped the mark and my post had been deleted but I can’t find them now-maybe they’ve been deleted? 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Connor has copped some flak on here at times, from me on his unnecessarily verbose style with points that last days on his pod. Pete had a good distance from the front lines to cop any flak.

I have been assured that this messageboard will still exist when the sites migrate over to NewsQuest. I just need to decide which fortunate soul on the sports desk will be responsible for moderating the forum. I'll pop my head on here every now and then as a fan under this profile:https://forum.pinkun.com/index.php?/profile/16797-peteraven/ All the best and OTBC! Cheers Pete.
