I mean this with the greatest respect, but we all need to concentrate on creating a succesful Swansea board by at least trying to create Swansea debate rather than discuss some Cardiffian posters attempts to ruin our board (although it is a great compliment). 1 thread today by them ....about us!* With a brand new very attractive Swansea forum to go to, our numbers are in serious dangers of dwindling. Not606 needs us both, but we both need to be better* Our forum needs you. Both our boards will only get better from within, not from nitpicking and pointscoring from each side. Just my honest opinion..,and this was initially posted on the Cardiff board also*
Agree Swim, the hostility that some opposing fans are met with on here is pathetic and needs to stop. That is why I will not join a Swans only forum as I joined a forum that allows other team's posters to discuss on rival boards etc. However it isn't possible for that to happen on here at times hence why there was a very distinct lack of banter in the built up to the derby match. Has anyone gone to that new site?
Its actually very good (unfortunately for this forum) I am currently on both sites, but this one has all the crap, the other Swansea talk without disruption (so far). They have loads of Swansea threads, we get this Check it out. The only reason I havent left completely is I have friends here and believe it can work. There are many familiar faces there also ...debating Swansea not politics.
Truth is, I came here to discuss Swansea after 606 went down. Some bright spark noticed the fallout here and on PS ...good luck to him oh and you can choose home or away colours on the forum!
If anyone fancies a look, here you go. It may seem strangely familiar but yet like our club, run by fans for the fans without outside influence/politics http://www.thejackarmy.net/forumdisplay.php?5-Swansea-City
I think most of us have tried the other site and I for one enjoy it far more than this site, no infighting
Swim you are right-on. I was a regular on here but disliked the posters that kept on about "That Team up East" etc etc. They will always be there, so will we. We have got to act better, on here and on the football field. We have decent discussions spoilt by our own people, so let us clean up within. If anyone from outside comes into our threads then if it is a good and fair comment then treat it as so, if not, remove it and move on. Let them see we are better. Until these so called Swans fans clean up their act we will lose people all the time. This at times is a hate mag. Why would Swans Fans read any other board? Bored with this one so see what is going on elsewhere.. We are Swansea, all I want to read about is Swansea - anyone got any clues where I can find only Swansea stuff?
Here it is fella. A brand new forum set up by true Jacks to discuss the Swans without outside influence from any corporate entity or different fans. Just like when the Jack Army had enough of Petty, we are doing it again. We are Swansea, we do things differently http://www.thejackarmy.net/forumdisplay.php?5-Swansea-City fight the power and make a change
I use both sites and I have to say the new forum is very good and at the moment beats this one hands down. There seems to be a mix of people from planet swans and here on it. They have a general chat area where they talk about all other sports, entertainment etc etc but there is a Swans part of the forum with five different boards all about the Swans where they actually talk about football and not bitch amongst themselves. As Swim says there is an option to view the site in our home or away colours. They have a countdown to the next Swans game on the main page and they're being talked about all over twitter and Facebook. They don't have the outside interaction this site does that's for sure but they don't get the hassle that goes with it either. I was reading earlier this evening that they've had their 100th member sign up today, that's bloody good going for a site just over a week old. I was pleasantly surprised to see people like Chico, Never, Swim, Norway and a few other familiars posting and seeming to enjoy themselves. Musty, Norway and Swim have even got their own sticky's over there. I'm not telling anyone where to post, you can make your own minds up but as Swim says in the op the other site is very good and this one is falling on its sword
Your judgement. But I am willing to risk trying it elsewhere. However this is possibly my last post. Cheers mods, fellow jackbastards and the select few of many fans from other clubs that have helped make this site an pleasure. Unfortunately it was not enough to make me commit and stay.
All thats happening is the same posters here are signing on there.....It is a far better site though to be honest but i will use all the sites available anyway..
