I have met a few lads anyways through the nebo who as far as I am concerned are friends for life none more so than you mr Petch I would like to thank you for all the bloody hard work that went on behind the scenes and for commitment above and beyond not just for nebo but all the other good work you do for all us progheads.
    A sorry day and a big thankyou for at least taking it as far as it has.
    RIP NEBO

    I wouldn't let the bitter ramblings of a handful of Internet trolls put you off - who cares what they think.

    Hi Steve
    Why not keep NEBO going but do it privately , don't post it on the net you will then avoid the minority who are hell bent on destroying it
    You know who has attended in the past and must have contact details or phone numbers for them

    DONE let THEM win , yourself and attenders have and hopefully will continue to enjoy these extra special events

    Set up a " Inner Sanctum "

    Please keep it going

    Well Steve,sorry to hear this.My view is if you let them see that their "best shot" has no effect (by not biting back) then it leaves them with nowhere to go.Starve them of the oxygen of a reply and they'll wither on the vine.Sicken them off even more by carrying on with the NEBO's ,you have more than enough friends than to let them get at you........all the best Mick

    I don't see why this has to be the end although I understand and respect Steve's decision. Maybe one of the other regulars might step in and do it? I know Steve put a lot of time and effort into establishing the event but now it is established how much is there really to do? Book the venue, tell everyone the date, everyone turns up and has a party.

    On the internet, there are always going to be haters that are gonna hate.

    So what? That has always been the case.

    Carry on regardless! - it is abundantly clear that for many attendees NEBO is one of the highlights of their year.

    Fantastic job, Steve - I can understand you being upset at the negative reaction of a poisonous few, but the positives seen here and elsewhere should easily outweigh them.

    Keep NEBO going!

    Exactly. Who gives a toss what a bunch of dicks hiding behind keyboards says. Ignore 'em! They're just inadequate cowards that wouldn't have the bottle to do it face to face.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I am humbled by some of the positive comments here and on social media. However, i have been shocked by the comments elsewhere in fora land which have been to a point antagonistic and in some cases abusive. Such characters should never be underestimated and other personal issues leave me wary and distrusting of faceless people i don't know and what they are capable of. The people who attended Nebo meetings are the best people i have met. Absolute diamonds. It scares me to think however that there are those out there in the ether who make vile comments and think it's ok or don't think for one minute that they may be the ones to blame for the way a person has been affected. It is by far better to remove myself from the firing line than to risk being in the middle of a situation i will have no control over.

    Oh for G sake, this is all about words on the Internet. What nonsense. Disregard the Internet and just think about the event. Did it go well? Did you and your mates have fun? Did you all learn a thing or two about component performance? More importantly, did those attending want to do it again?

    If the answer to all these questions is yes, please, recognise the size of the pair you already have, ignore the ignorance you have been reading and rather, address the positive responses you've had from people here who want it to go on yet again. Please shut out the ignorant nonsense, consentrate on the comments from proper friends who were actually there and act in future on what they have to say.

    if you don't do this, you're a fool. If you ignore the critics, anchor on what your mates have said and strive ahead for the next NEBO, you will be showing you rise above the negative crap, take on board what your mates tell you, and expect a positive result......as every NEBO has been to date. Do it and see how many of your mates rise up in support! For sure it will happen.

    I don't think its as simple as that Greg. I have had nasty things said about me online before ( mainly to do with my work and people wanting favours etc). I found it very difficult, and having people say its just words ,nonsense, and to grow a pair was not helpful, and made it worse for me.
    I don't know whether Steve feels the same, but i respect his decision.
    I have friends who have been to NEBO, and have only praise for Steve. I don't know anything of whats been said or written online, but from experience the thought that the scum who say shit may turn up at your home, do something to your family etc, scary...
    I hope NEBO continues, and as been said already just keep it offline etc.
