Rootschatters in the past

Hi
in this internet lark I try to keep a low profile.
But sometimes,ah, one finds a kindling of spirit and the guard comes down.
Does anyone know what happened to user Koromo ?
Lived in Cyprus but came back to Norfolk.

Sadly with time comes loss. You can't have the joys and pleasant memories without it, can you? I've not been on here that many years, but have delightful memories of the many who help, with advice, information especially technical and on research, and even how to shrink photos enough to use on here.
Who can forget the splendid silliness of the "Cats" threads over the years, with its creative spelling - although recently that thread seems to have changed character, and become nastier - and of course the wonderful "Panto" efforts, again delightfully daft, although sadly lapsed!
 I have sunk many a bottle of "Yellow Tail" over the decades, but never presumed to join in that select group actively, rather watched from afar.
We may all be becoming rather more mature, but we are what our memories make us, building us over time.
Like others I have some very fond memories. Long may they last.

It was the BBC Message Boards - History.  I have some things printed off dated 2006.

I had tried "search" but no success.  Not everyone kept the same name.  I think Dee was on the BBC board.

Dee is not too well so doesn't come on the Photo Gallery thread anymore.  We still e-mail about once a year.

It's so nice to keep contact. Some people on here become good friends over the years, in a quiet way.

Tony H was a wonderful help to me in finding my Hurst ancestors' graves in Rochdale Cemetery, even making trips there to take photos of their gravestones.  He also helped me with other family history matters.  Nothing was too much trouble for him, but sadly he died several years ago.  I feel he deserves honourable mention for all his efforts and for his fun answers.

Some Rootschatters start fine and many out of politeness want to help, but a few turn out to be parasites. Several years ago one became very demanding and totally ignored house rules, so eventually his posts were monitored and he chose to leave. Unfortunately, I had told him the village where I lived. Had he paid a visit, I am 6ft 5ins, built like a brick poo-house and can handle myself. Others have helped me, so I help others; that is the way it should be. If someone has helped you, please repay that by helping someone else.

Remembering Liverpool Annie. An astonishing 13,434 posts in less than 6 years of activity on Rootschat.

It’s only one person (cat) who has changed the character. As a non-contributor, I have wondered if anything could be done about it.
