Just like to say hello to all. I was on this site a year or two ago but before I got to really use it I was under the impression it had closed down. I was not the only one many other rib users thought the same, so am I wrong? Or has it recently opened again? I used to read this all the time when I was in work cough cough I mean on my break lol. Still find it complicated. Say hello, so I click on it and er erm hmm no clue lol. So if I am in the right place x
HELLO EVERYBODY.

>>>before I got to really use it I was under the impression it had closed down

A very odd impression indeed for you and "many others" to have formed. Having been a near daily visitor to this site for well over a decade I know it's never had more than the briefest outage of perhaps a few minutes now and again. Perhaps you are thinking of Fribs & Sibs which has been almost unused then down for many months until recently.

Anyway no matter, welcome to the forum. It really isn't that complicated, just choose the forum to suit your query or comment and then click New Thread.

The site does go quiet from time to time. That said, once Big Plumbs starts posting reviews of Amazon tat, there won’t be enough hours in the day and you’ll be watching on catch-up!

Welcome to the forum.

OP I noted your comment in the Easdale thread about your RIB not being ready for that trip this year. If you're doing a refurb or new fit out and were happy to do so post a thread with some images as it would be of interest on here.

HELLO EVERYBODY.

Welcome back. Where do you do your ribbing around Liverpool? Our daughter has just moved near Warrington & I'd like to get the RIB or SIB across there this year. Any pointers?
