Visit Hebrides
As an ocassional poster to the Virtual Hebrides website - usually having a go at the anti-wind farm brigade, and them having a go back - it was a lively (and sometimes unruly) site of great benefit to locals and visitors alike.
Update 20/7/06: It's back, so the "loss of postings" was perhaps not as terminal as we were lead to believe. The original blog is below in italics, but is now way out of date.
I have a look most mornings just to see the gossip, but couldn't get in yesterday or today. Thanks to a tip-off from ADB I've just realised that the board has been taken down and I hadn't noticed this.
This is absolutely outrageous. There had better be a damn good reason.....
There had previously been some *editing* of the posts by System Admin, creating a false trail for some of the discussions, so at least this is the most honest type of edit :-) but to do away with the whole board takes some chutzpah.
If you want to complain, go here (link removed 20/7/06) and add a comment to this post.
Alternatives are www.stornowaychat.co.uk and here. I only block the offensive and libellous, and don't cut anything that I've let through.

I think a few people (like me) shouting blue murder made them look just that little bit harder for the lost posts, Angus. They're back, but thanks for featuring.
