Sorry, tried to read it but you weren't a big enough name to make it worth it. Nah, I agree with you, although I do like the off topic stuff the main reason I'm here is football. I'm probably a bit disconnected too living in Yorkshire.
There are plenty of 'off topic' forums if that's what you like, loads where you can swear and post tits to your heart's content. So why do some posters want to turn this board into one of those? This is primarily a football forum and this is the SAFC board ..... there are, or perhaps, were people who wanted to discuss that subject. It seems that subject is of little interest to some posters, who have little interest in going to matches, so they try to push the off topic stuff. Once you get someone who decides to set the agenda then the job is screwed imo.
I thought he had an argument and for some reason decided that he'd no longer post on here because of it. I like the guy and he's a good poster but it's not like he was driven out because nobody has a sense of humour.
Of course not, that's a ludicrous argument. Tel wouldn't just 'give up' because people disagreed with him ..... he had no problem dealing with anyone on the board. There are quite a few decent posters who have stopped posting because they grew tired of the cliques and relentless bullying.
I used to post a variety of threads. Ran the prediction league, did the match threads. I did ****ing **** load for this board. But the same people following me around having digs when not even talking to them took it toll and I thought **** it. Why should I? So in most part I've ****ed this place off and now and I fight the bastards' fire with fire. I'm talking over predictions again, but purely for Pops to have rest cause he deserves it so it's just for one season, but won't be making any effort to stimulate this place. Happy for it to die out personally. There's other forums and there's my life to live. I'm in personal contact with so many people. It wouldn't bother me anymore if the place folded. Once over I'd have been gutted.
Whereabouts are you staying mate? I got married there a couple of years ago, loved the place. We were staying in Lassi.
That's exactly how I feel Bri. If the 'I'm so crazy the Mods can't live with me' brigade would stick to posting their usual shyte, on their own threads, that would be fine. But I've started many a decent thread that's been invaded, by the likes of Comm, with the sole intention of spoiling it. If I'd done the same and posted football comments, on one of the off topic threads. they'd have thrown their arms in the air.
I was sorry to see him go. As far as I'm concerned the board will only die when either the site goes under or Sunderland AFC does so I don't see it like that but he's a funny bloke who helped keep it lively.
