An interesting email from MotorTransport

And the update…in duplicate.

So is it the same owners as this site?

I wouldn’t be clicking on any links or resetting any passwords.

I’ve had those emails too.

The answer to your very good question is YES it is the same owners (DVV Media International,) which isn’t going to change.

The thing that will change is the hosting, so the whole TN forum will be migrating to a new platform called Discourse as soon as the preparations are complete. This is being worked on as I write this reply.

There’s a discussion underway in the Feedback Forum, plus a board wide announcement that I update from time to time at the top of all the TN forums.

Dave, I don’t reckon Harry’s came from the forum owners. Check the addressee.

That is an actual screenshot of the email I received, I haven’t altered it in any way. I don’t think I’ve even registered with them but if I have it won’t have been under that name so I think someone’s having a giraffe. :stuck_out_tongue:

Exactly why my urgent advice was not to respond.
I didn’t think you would have done, but I’d rather sound a bit condescending than find out later that you’d been scammed.
Giraffe? Sorry not familiar with your slang and can’t rhink of a rhyming word. :unamused:

Thanks for the clarification Harry.

As I said earlier, I’ve had the same emails but mine were addressed using my correct name.

Having a giraffe is Cockney (London) rhyming slang for having a laugh.

In this case ‘taking the ■■■■’ would be a suitable alternative phrase. :smiley:

Giraffe = laugh. Bloody Antipodeans :smiley: :smiley:

Fair dinkum, we don’t have giraffes here so I’ve never heard one, we have to settle for kookaburras.

Oddly enough, neither do we, though we have acquired some naturalized Wallabies

Though our north-eastern Wallabies are hard as nails, smoke 40 a day, drink Newcastle brown ale like it’s going out of fashion, and want to see you outside in the car park right now because…

Oh.Dear.

Please resist the urge to start using all the flashy whistles and bells. One thing I like about this forum is it’s simplicity. I opted out of the Reddit re-design because all the rubbish it has which whilst it no doubt appeals to the Insta generation just serves to make it worse to use.

So does this mean we are close to moving to Discourse for the forum?
