Is it really worth posting on this forum anymore?

    Mentioned this before e.g the ratio of views to posts,obviously it depends on the quality and relevance of your new thread,but responses on here are now limited to a dozen or so people,so thanks for their enthusiasm.Am now posting more stuff on ATD as it is more dynamic,PASOTI? well draw your own conclusions given recent events-anyone care to post a response?anyone!

    Aka, there is no reason why you can't include this one along with ATD, many of us are now doing just that. I myself always have this one open along with facebook and twitter - the latter keeps you up to date with what some of the players are saying. I have also joined ATD but have yet to post on there prefering this one as I "know" the other posters here - can't say that about ATD. PASOTI I also use occasionally to see what is going on but I wouldn't care to join or post there, it's simply a place of reference. It's a case of "horses for courses" don't you think?

    That is my situation also La La I still continue to post on here as I like the forum and I feel more comfortable blogging with you guys as I usually share your passions and views.I post more frequently now on ATD as you get more responses and there are posters who i recognise also.I tend to monitor PASOTI and put on the odd reply.Just making the point that this forum is lacking activity and is becoming stale with just a few consistent posters such as yourself.

    I agree but I don't see what else I can do about it. We have a bar and a prediction league but you can't make people come here. Incidently I had this conversation with Plym the other day.

    I quit as mod for this forum because I felt I wasn't getting anywhere with it. I think someone else should have a go at it.

    BTW I've just noticed I can't sign into ATD and I've had no email from them so I don't know what's going on.

    Yes I have read it plym, it would appear I should have received an email and could follow instructions - according to that but I haven't and so can't.

    Strange Mrs LaLa......they didn't send me one........but when I tried yesterday I had no problems gaining entry........probably because they know I'm not a troublemaker.

    I will continue to post on here as I like the forum but I will also use ATD. This is the friendliest forum of the lot which because of no complications or confrontation doesn't attract loads of people to it. Some people just like the agro side without the friendly bit. It's a pity really that there aren't more who take that view but it is the way it is. I would not like to see the back of any of the posters on here and there is no reason why somebody can't use two forums. I discount PASOTI because I simply do not like the way it is run. Many do but it just is not for me. So, don't desert just pop over once a day when you are on line and see who is around. It has nothing to do with who is trying to get people to join and not the fault of anyone that it isn't so well used. Try looking on some other sites on not606 in this league and they are like tumbleweed city. I went onto the Southend site to see if they were talking about the last game and there hadn't been a post on there for over a week at all. No mention of anything prior to them playing us either so this Plymouth site is well used in comparison. Keep it open is my opinion and who knows, one day a few new people might pop up.

    Did the same Sensible went onto the Southend Not606 forum after the chanting issue last Saturday towards one of their players,to gauge the feelings of the Southend fanbase and as you say absolutely nothing.I would say Argyle has one of the most active set of bloggers in the country on all the various forums compared to most clubs.Either we are one of the most passionate loyal group of supporters around or we just like to gob off,anyway it's good to see there are a few responses to my thread today.

    This is the second most used site in Div 2 after Gillingham..........if you count total posts............and other clubs might not have two other supporter websites like Argyle.

    I will still post my drivel on here as I like it better than ATD and Pasoti ! Unlike Pasoti you are not told how to think and on here if someone doesn't agree with you, you don't have "You are not a true fan" or "Are you sure HP is for you" to name but two, we respect each others views even though it doesn't necessary echo ours. Although I use Pasoti for the latest news I personally think it is an awful site !

    I have four Gills site including this one that I belong to. TBH the main Gills site appears to be far and away Gills365, very heavily moderated though and run by a sport editor of the Daily Mirror as I understand it.

    Just saying not having a go. I like the Greens fans on here <ok>

    Well it would be better used as they have more to moan about than us................

    We know our lot are average whereas they think...........well enough said really.

    Most clubs have alternative sites to not606 which are probably better used but that isn't to say there isn't a place for not606 in there as well. It's good to have alternatives though and not all of them are as friendly as this one and as welcoming to outside suporters. Now F*** O** brb and mind your own business.

    sensible - bit rude mate?

    I was just supporting the theory that you do not have to just belong to one site. Different forums for different themes and levels of moderation.

    I prefer not606 personally because you get the chance to debate with other fans, if you get the chance without being insulted <ok>

    I also prefer multi club forums to just the Argyle ones, makes for healthy debate...and you can sling the odd insult at the likes of brb <laugh>
