    The move was never exclusive and wasn't down to the GC lot (obviously didn't help but not one of the main reasons), it was felt that we had merely outgrown one subsection on a forum as we were having far too many off-topic threads that it was impossible to read both the football & general chat things in tandem.
    People had tried to openly discuss a move somewhere else on this forum and Mick deleted it as is his prerogative (he wants to protect his site for obvious reasons), which is why everything was done seemingly out of public. It wasn't mean to be sly and those who have been forgotten out of invites, it probably wasn't intentional (despite Joker trying to wind you up).

    As for me, I will probably still go on both forums, don't think anyone believes in exclusivity. <ok>

    If we all keep popping over it wont die. It saved us when 606 stopped so I'm going to keep coming on when I can. Off work this week so on a bit more.

    The thing I think there are people on there that hope it does die here. People won't even refer to this site as not 606, it's that other site and stuff like that.

    This annoys me a bit, along with the over protection my some members of the new place.

    Its only natural some people talk about here like that on the new site at first though Cbra. Just the way of the forum world. Look at the stick the old 606 and ja606 took plus many others on here over time. There is always gonna be a competitive element for some. The vast majority don't care.

    It'll be quieter on here for sure but this place will survive. The Newcastle board will still be popular but it would very arrogant to think this place relies solely on Newcastle fans. It was here long before our board got heavily populated by all accounts. Both sites will run alongside each other just fine. I'll eventually join up to the new one but I still prefer not606 because I like the outsiders we get and you get varying points of view, some that as a biased Newcastle fan we might be blind to.

    To be fair I'm wary of giving out the new site to unfamiliar user because the feeling I got people are wary of people causing trouble (GC style), which is fair enough.

    I know there is a lot more than the Newcastle part to this board, though my main purpose coming on here is to discuss Newcastle United and occasionally chat with fans of other clubs, the same was as say a Norwich City fan comes on to discuss Norwich City more often than not.

    This other board, does it have a sexy poll? If not then I don't want to know. Football and sex it's such a great combination. It's like salt and pepper or beef and horseradish or Tash and swearing.

    Didn't ever think I'd be saying this but I miss Tash. Presumably he's on this other board now or has he just stop posting.

    Still there, stricter rules though, but you'll read why when you're on there.

    Yeah I think some people that use the site are there because they were bothered by some of the stuff posted by the guys in General Chat here (for instance, using your computer at work and opening a thread to gay porn isn't too useful :rolleyes:) and that's their choice, but not everybody uses it for that reason and thus there's no real bad blood as far as I can tell. The initial idea was that there was a lot of guys who wanted more room to spread out the off topic conversation and run a place themselves etc. There's no 'one or the other' choice about it, these are all just internet websites and people can do as they please, use whatever they want and as many websites as they want for their own reasons obviously.

    The fact you're not a teenager makes this even more pathetic than it already was to begin with.

    Yeah I use both at the moment (although use the other one alot more now!), as I like to talk about off-topic stuff alot aswell and the other site accommodates that better with differen't sections, which always draws alot of complaints on this site. In all honesty Iv never liked just having one board for all the Newcastle fans on this forum..

    Feels like we are all trying to squeeze into one phone box!

    Haha so true, he rips people by calling them teenagers then acts like one himself, safe to say the irony isn't lost on me..


    "OMG mummy don't take away my x-box" "should we egg next door neighbours house it will be like soooo funny" ,sort of attitude. Really should look at yourself in the mirror bud.
