It's not just Swords, but it truly is depressing how many posters - good, knowledgable QPR family members - that have left here over the last 18 months.
Hear hear Houston, some of the finest contributors have disappeared. Of the great bunch I met at Wembley last year, many are now absent. I am more a reader than contributor - by the time I read stuff, there's never really much to add. That said, I will be looking forward to catching up "offline" at the C&S in December with current and past not606ers. There is more good than pointless activity on this board, keep it that way please. QPR - when they're good, they're very very good; when they're bad, we still follow....
I drop in about once a month just to see if the landscape has changed - don't post (life is too short to open that door again) but what has been said above is true. The SOLE reason that I, and I strongly suspect many others, do not post here any more is the behaviour of Swords, and the fact that so many times he has overstepped the line for permanent bans and it never happens. I'm sure that were he to receive the punishment his baiting, personal attacks and abuse deserve, there would be a lot of people returning to the board. I certainly would - I miss the banter and the discussions, but the price I was having to pay simply wasn't worth it. Something to consider...
Hi Chaz...nice to see you back 999s has already posted a similar themed post. YES...there are quite a number of people who have stopped posting due to "banter" from Swords. Swords has built up a considerable portfolio of warnings, short term, long term and semi-permanent bans over the years Now Swords is no longer able to post on this board I do hope that makes other people more able to come back and post
Not seen this until now. Fantastic post Nines You mods have a thankless task. I can't be bothered with this Swords nonsense, but had some time on my hand so trawled through this thread. For me I have never taken him seriously and have just ignored him not giving it any more thought. Thinking about it now after reading your post regarding all the posters who have left I find it very sad that he have been alloved to keep on antagonising and separating this (once) great board. Just seen Beth's post, if he's gone for good hopefully we'll get some or all the above posters back, in the process making this the best QPR forum on the net. It has been a real shame to lose posters and more importantly the fantastic people I've met in person like StainesR, Roller and NUTS. West London Willy and Flyer are others I really enjoyed having on our board and have been sad to see leave. If in time the damages can be healed, with the exclusion of the master baiter Swords, we could get these other posters back. Only right move imo, you mods have my full backing.
I would just like to say that I have always been a good boy on here! So to tip the balance a bit I would like to say that you are all, bar none, a bunch of tossers
swords can still hold court on the Barnsley board (providing he doesn't annoy kiwi) for those that miss him
It's only banter at the end of the day...stick n stones n all that..try not to get too emotional over it!
Arguing on the internet is pointless even when you win the argument you are still a ****. Problem here is people paid him the attention he craved and lived off. If you had ignored him it would have stopped. All it did was encourage him.
