View Full Version : Backroom Membership
Mine seems to have been revoked...and without me saying/posting anything wrong...? Because I can't see the link to the Backroom on the main page of the forum.

Its the traditional christmas truce.
Its closed for a while.
There was a topic there for a few days saying it would be closed, as it is done yearly.
Ahhh right. Thank you for clearing that up.
Well then....all we now need is a football :grin:
Merry Christmas.

I don't know about a football, what about a cricket ball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_day_test)?

Again with the forcing of western Christian traditions on everyone else? Totally needless in a multinational and multicultural forum...
Well, the 'Christmas Truce' is not necessarily about Christmas. It is more that arch-enemies/rivals can celebrate together even in such dire times.

So, the fact that it is on Christmas and called the "Christmas Truce" is just a coincidence?

Business as usual, of course.

As the thread said, its more about the Christmas Truce (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce).
If you didn't know:
The Christmas truce was a series of widespread unofficial ceasefires that took place along the Western Front around Christmas of 1914, during the First World War. Through the week leading up to Christmas, parties of German and British soldiers began to exchange seasonal greetings and songs between their trenches; on occasion, the tension was reduced to the point that individuals would walk across to talk to their opposite numbers bearing gifts. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, many soldiers from both sides – as well as, to a lesser degree, from French units – independently ventured into no man's land, where they mingled, exchanging food and souvenirs. As well as joint burial ceremonies, several meetings ended in carol-singing, or – famously – games of football.

are you really making a fuss about this! really?

That right. There was definitely and ostrich involved.
On the current note, I actually have no problem against there being a Christmas truce on the forums. Infact given that it is a multicultural forum, instead of not celebrating occasions of one particular people, there should be some sort of provision to celebrate occasions of each and every culture represented here....provided of course the representative/s are willing.
Anyway, I don't want to sound cheesy, but people of all religions and cultures can actually understand the true meaning of Christmas. And I love the Christmas cakes they make in the local bakeries during this season.

The frontroom is getting dull. We can only be expected to be civil to one another for a finite amount of time...and four days is getting on my nerves.

Just one problem with that. LEN isn't a backroom mod. By it's very nature the BR is moderation intense. Or it used to be. :book:

Definitely! Whenever there aren't any new posts I am interested in, I will always flick back through the pages of the backroom.
Whenever you see a lock, there is an almost guaranteed cracker to be read.
