Too true, we've lost some really good posters over the years although ironically the main ones that spring to mind (ILD and Redruth), left because of insults from City fans.
I do my bit trying to attract new members by posting links to my match threads on Twitter every week and they are now being 'retweeted' on a regular basis so hopefully more people will come on board. It's disappointing because If potential new contributors see all this bollox it could well put them off joining.
Edit:- Will certainly put off any potential 'lady' contributors who are on Twitter and there are many that follow me
