Sez it's locked.

For some reason it's now just called "Tune Association"

But that's a new thread. A sort of "The Chain - the sequel".

 

[swee'pea99]

Thanks. Baffling. Any idea why? (I'm with Uncle Mort on the name...and since it didn't appear to be broke, why was it 'fixed'?)

Maybe it's a technical thing? Too many pages takes up too much space on the server (or summat like that)? P'raps it just done it's time and is being retired? P'raps Radders and maconey have threatened to sue over copyright of the name? Who knows... admin or mods? Any news?

I asked the same question yesterday about Tea.
Apparently there can be performance issues if individual threads get too large.
That's why they were split, nothing more than that.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, 20 odd thousand replies is a big old thread.

I wish it was still called "The Chain".

"Tune Association" sounds like an extracurricular activity. Like "Chess Club".

Et voila!!!!!!

Admin did post at the end of the old Chain - maybe it's taking up too much space, I dunno.
I did ask Admin to put mondobongo's original post back in as the OP - only fair as he started off this thread!
No reason why we can't ask Shaun to rename it!

 

[TheDoctor]

Or a Mod could do it...

 

[accountantpete]

He has done!

 

[TheDoctor]

No worries!

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Does it have to say 'Part 2' though?.....or am I being really picky?!

 

[Shaun]

Well, you are being a bit picky, but there you go ...

That's done as well ! - ask him to send £100 to all the regular contributors 3BM.
