Tomorrow here now as well and quelle surprise, it’s still fully PR’d. Or is the tomorrow they meant a different tomorrow?
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time“
Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.

Allow me a little nostalgia. Not everyone will have come over and those (albeit virtual) interactions are lost due to the apathy or ego of a few.Jimmy Smallsteps wrote: Fri Aug 14, 2020 10:58 amWith the superior functionality of this place the question has to be asked: why would you go back?ScarfaceClaw wrote: Fri Aug 14, 2020 10:31 am An increasing number of tomorrows are going by.

Fair enough. Such luminaries as Ghost of Nepia (nee Voltman) and me have been around since 2001. But that's by the by. We have a new ship now. And the captain's name is ASMO.ScarfaceClaw wrote: Fri Aug 14, 2020 12:07 pmAllow me a little nostalgia.

Thankyou all for your vote of confidence, but to be clear, i am nobody's overlord, i may hold the codez, but this belongs to all of you guys, i just make sure the machinery is oiled and running.Carter's Choice wrote: Fri Aug 14, 2020 2:03 pm I' m committing to this new forum.

Well said, just in those words alone you've shown that you're so much better than PR's management. I will post hard to make this forum, a success.

I think you have a good critical mass of rugby nerds here now. Given time we will make this the best Rugby forum on Earth. Which Planet Rugby was in its prime but never valued. I've visited most Rugby forums on the internet and am a member of many, (never posted on most) but PR in its prime was the best. This forum will be in time. FYI it's functionality is brilliant.ASMO wrote: Fri Aug 14, 2020 2:18 pm An idea i am toying with is getting a few volunteers to take the lead in posting rugby content, starting rugby threads and provoking conversation, rugby nerds if you like.

I noticed the jersey as well and thought it was a deliberate self depreciating humour.

Has Puma made the transition to here? He's great for organising Superbru etc. It's good for driving interactions and chatter IMO.
