We’ve faithfully recorded all the negative media and the attacks on Bang the Table so I thought it might be theraputic to post some of the positive feedback we get from the vast majority of users who appreciate the chance to have their say. This selection of quotes should speak for themselves, they were all emailed to us by users. We get a fair bit of this. Of course the emails are not always positive but this is a positive post, the complainers and conspiracy theorists have had enough coverage on this blog for now. There are many more actually on the website but you can find those for yourselves (oh ok I might highlight a few in a future posting next time I need cheering up).

…to tell the truth this sort of site is needed…… I will promote your site in our local papers as much as I can……..One thing I would like to ask is Newcastle going to have a site again ???

Love the name by the way. Great marketing. I hope the business goes well. I had a look around the site and looked at a few other comments and gave some more feedback. I’m encouraged that Council have requested this and backed it with some money to get some intelligent feedback and I live in hope that it will make some sort of difference. Now I’m thinking maybe I was too hard in my language about them and their motivations for the parking machines !! Oh well, once pen to paper, or finger to keyboard, what can you do!

This is the BEST and most logical and functional ‘chat’ site I have ever seen. You blokes (assuming all blokes) have done a FANTASTIC job and I was going to contact you anyway regarding applying it elsewhere to replace another old site.

Thanks for that.. just made another post and all o.k. Congrats again on this great site and good to see the article in the Newcastle Herald the other day.. keep up the good work.. there’s more democracy on your site than in the current NSW State Government.

(Love that one about the State Government! This was emailed to us by a grateful user from the Newcastle area)

Thanks guys!
