Dear AAGPS students, old boys, parents and supporters.
I have deliberated with many people about the future of this thread. A lot happened on Thursday which led to the situation we are in.
To begin with let’s look at some facts.
1. The CAS thread was closed after a multitude of trolls invaded. The thread was closed by Cyclopath as between the two of us we could not keep up with the moderation process.
2. These trolls then descended upon the AAGPS thread. To the credit of the regular posters, they tried to stay out of it. The trolls once more overwhelmed us and hence I shut it down.
3. Trolls then turned their attention to other threads which ended up with them being locked.
Yesterday I was resigned to the possibility that the AAGPS and CAS thread were both going to be deleted and this was the best way forward.
Throughout Saturday I meet many student members, parents and even staff who expressed their disappointment. People commented that over the past few months they had seen an improvement, mainly because the students who were there, were, following the guidelines. This is a credit to their schools, family and the maturity they show. In other words, people missed the thread and knew why it was pulled.
It was late in the day when I was approached by a small group of Kings lads who wanted to say hello. They as well expressed the disappointment and said I should carry a
bigger hammer. So, with in mind, here are conditions for the next few months.
For offending posts, no warning will be given, posts deleted.
Permanent bans immediately for the poster and no chance of return.
Existing members who respond in kind to trolls will get the same treatment. Rise above the taunts.
NEW members will not be accepted till further notice.
The CAS thread is the hands of

The thread is open. How long is up to all of us.
