Are You a New Member? Introduce yourself Here!

Welcome aboard, Sarah!

Welcome. This place is past its prime as alluded to in previous posts, but with SPECTRE coming up here's hoping more like you join in on the discussions.

Thanks again, guys. Actually I signed up because most other places people seem to chew on the leaks issue like mad while little else is discussed. I hope to keep away from the spoilers myself, I'm a bit old fashioned there.

Welcome Sarah!

Welcome Sarah. It's not a sinking ship really. Sort of like those old liners that get taken to the East and sit on the quays to be scrapped.

Naysayers notwithstanding.

Hello all. My name's Matt and I used to post infrequently on here in my teens. What with SPECTRE fast-approaching, I'm coming in from the cold after a few years away. Have spent the time briefly studying in China, holding down a steady job in local government and a healthy relationship (with a young lady whom is somewhat of a Bond fan, reassuringly), and trying my damnedest to pursue some sort of career as an actor, for better or worse.

Reporting back for duty as a (hopefully) more grounded and mature twenty-something with some different and more developed tastes - will post here and there, much like before. Great to see some familiar names still around (was hoping to perhaps change my own username to properly start afresh, if possible).

Welcome back G Section! Good to see you around again.

I'd suggest contacting our admins for a name change, but it could be years before they respond.

Nice to have you back, G Section. Or should we just call you Mr. Hergesheimer?

I asked if I could change my username when I came back from my hiatus and they said everyone knows me as FieldsMan and that it wouldn't be the same with a different name.

Always nice to see an old and familiar name.

I was for a period just "Python" as I requested, but later reinstated to back to my current name because it doesn't seem right without a little "Makeshift" to it.

Good to see you back G Section. Long time no see.

Thank you one and all.

Had some fictional spies in mind - perhaps Palmer, Leamas or Quiller. Or factual - maybe Zigzag, after Eddie Chapman. Hmmm.

Quiller's a good choice.

Are any new members able to sign up?

Not sure. Someone I know tried to about a month ago but couldn't for some reason.

There does seem to be some block.

I suppose it keeps spammers out. But the newest member appears to be 007Stevie who signed up in July last year. Inbetween which time we have had a Bond book and a Bond film and nobody new signed up to discuss these - or nobody was able to? That's weird.

Yeah I don't think anyone was able to.

And with 007Stevie, he was someone who was on this Facebook Bond group. He signed up after I posted in it to try get some new members in. Since then he has proven to be a twat and apparently has a Facebook page with all these people hating on him so it's probably a good thing he didn't post here!

Which defeats the purpose of 'the number one place to discuss 007'

We clearly do need NEW blood here. When regulars don't post, this place becomes a mausoleum.

I think every member herewho uses social media should put the word out to bring in new blood.

Trouble is most of the people I know on social media are pretty much on here or don't like Bond.

Maddening situation this is but I fear I've found myself ebbing away from this place. I've gone nowhere else (Bond-wise) but, well.

I do my bit, I feel, but I'm not sure that the quality of SP helped at all…

For all the new members, feel free to introduce yourselves here!

Are there any?

I've seen a handful of new members pop up at the bottom of the homepage lately, but none have posted - the latest being James Fleming 96.
