Where did all the old 'regulars' go?

I'm back, but I won't say I'll be posting regular, because that would be classed as lies. I guess I just kind of grew out of UM in a way, not Radio 1, mind. I also had loads of exams and coursework and better things to be doing, I suppose.

the coursework and exam i think was why i disapeared but i dont know why it took me a long time to return

Yes, where did the people from the Triassic period of Unofficial Mills go? Fish Heads, Mr. Quincy, David, Helen? I miss 'em!

I only remember Mr. Quincy from that list! He had a scary avatar and a big bold blue roaaaaar signature but if I remember rightly he was quite fit when he posted his pic in the rate our member section ;)

we did used to have a rate our member section, sadly the server had a major crash and we ended up losing a lot of information :(

I blame iain smith misunderstanding the thread title and posting a pic of his wanger. Thats enough to crash any network :shock:

I'm old and generally regular - does that count? hehe

Enough talk about your bowels and back to the topic of members missing in action ;)

Hello ;)

- I actually rarley bother with the computer, well compared to how much I had done. A year ago, I'd be on the PC from the end of school until it was time to bed :/

Most of the time now I just check things like hotmail/facebook at work.

But yerr, probally is something to do with college etc :l

What do we do the regulars that make them disappear? It seems each six months there's a new batch of regulars appear and there's some that disappear. Six months or so we had Kelly, Elise, Riz, Eva, Kitty, Jembie, ThunderPants and many others posting. They seem to log in every day and now have disappeared off the face of the planet. Where do they all go to just lose contact?!

Okay, I am answering this a bit late, but whatever. I think I might be psychic now, because I had been looking through old threads and found some members who seem to have been regulars once. I was wondering where they had gone - and I nearly started a thread about and. And then, all of a sudden, a thread was started. I feel really special.

But back to the point of this thread. Obviously I don't know where all the regulars have gone, most of them I don't even know, I've never "met".

But... am I classified as a new regular? Because that doesn't sound too bad ;)

    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
