PC World Chat will close this Friday

[Siobhan Keogh]

What's happened to Zara?

She's moved back to Oz to study engineering.

I already have PF1 Circle: https://plus.google.com/u/0/circles/...df5b298f071504

Only 29 in it at this point...

That link just takes me to my circles page, what is the community called?

[Billy T]

No, then we still have the same problems. But we want to offer BillyT a weekly joke thread there to keep up tradition, if he wants to continue!

I am honoured to be offered that privilege, and on behalf of myself and my honorary support staff, plus the many other unsung contributors over the years, I am equally honoured to accept. I had planned to hand over the baton at some point in the future, but I'd like to end on a 'round figure' of some sort. Maybe you could run a check to see what my "Monday" numbers are Siobhan if possible, and send me a PM?

I will be sorry to see Chat go, but as a struggling business myself, I know about bottom lines and belt tightening all too well.

As it happens, I am going to be out of town next Monday; Mrs T and I will be in the South Island celebrating a 'significant birthday' (I'm a 1948 model, you can do the math )
so we can have a [Mon]day of mourning, then the new regime can flower anew on PF1 itself. I have an idea for the first episode, so I'll now go forth and research.

Cheers

Sure thing. It shouldn't be too hard to look into since every thread since the beginning of time has had 'Monday laughs' in the title! I'll get onto it tomorrow, if that's okay I have a cold right now, so am working from home and may need assistance from the digital team.

Cool Billy, sounds good.

@CYaBro
It's called "PressF1", I've apparently got 30 of you in it

[B.M.]

She's moved back to Oz to study engineering.

Ahhhh, just as I thought. She’s modelling "Fluro Safety Vests" for Metla.

for the google+ virgins? How do I get into the circle or am I blocked already?

[dugimodo]

hmm, I'll miss the chat but I mainly come here for the PF1. Not sure about the G+ Idea, have no real desire to use it. Occasionally my phone tries to convince me people I know are on there but I don't really care - much like my facebook account I check every other month.

Still no hard feelings here, appreciate the years of service up until now. I will make a confession though, the magazine arrives every month and is often still wrapped in plastic when I get the next one. I find between the website and the forums there's little of interest left for me in the magazine. Takes me about 30 mins to go through it when I do.

Guess I better get one last post in before all the fun is removed.

It's a damn shame this is happening, all of it. Blogs are being removed? Geoff Palmer's blog was the only reason I came to pcworld any more. All the other blogs were stagnant though.

I guess this is really an indication of how far downhill the mag has gone. Readership doesn't just go down the gurgler for no reason. So long as it keeps making enough money Fairfax won't care though. For those that choose to stick around, have fun, but now I'm well and truly out.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Won't be long before the mag is merged with home&garden. Apples and windows should fit in
