I beg to differ, Filey.

After reading the stuff churned out on CI Plus I had no temptation to post on that site.
The truth is a site degenerates into a mess like that because of the leniency and leanings of the moderators who control it. Extreme groups don't give a flying **** about football or football message boards, except as an opportunity to manipulate and recruit the feeble-minded.
If a moderator is already pally with someone like E.G.D. Wright (whose username is the worst possible insult to an early hero of Hull City BTW) then you can expect a constant pressure by that moderator to favour right wing attitudes and politics.
There is also a comical tendency on here for younger posters and mouth-breathers to seek the protective umbrella of the far-right gob-****e clique in order to not get bullied. It's a bit like prison behaviour (so I'm told) and the insecure are usually identifiable by the way they try to swear as often as possible in every sentence. This playground macho one-upmanship also seemed common on CI as it is on the Millwall and Leeds forums on not606 with posters trying to prove they are really hard hooligans and not just sad social inadequates.
Lets hope there are enough grown ups among the new influx and native posters on here combined to control the childish element and I'm sure we'll all get along fine.
Legions no loner posts on any board, under any name.
I beg to differ, Filey.

I'm sure 'extreme groups' didn't post on CI, only individuals, and most articulated their views very well whether of the right or left without need of moderation. The retired communist school teacher from Northampton and the ranting anarchist from Tenfootcity certainly broke the myth that it just favoured right wing attitudes, some debates I read were worthy of the Cambridge Union and its ridiculous to liken CI to childish social inadequates from TWS and Millwall, what the f*** are you on Craig?

I suppose I'm on what a lot of others on here are.
Judging by the CI exiles who have made their way here most seem to have right wing attitudes. When a site is populated by so many with a similar outlook it is a little naïve and presumptuous to say "'extreme groups' didn't post on CI". How do you know that?
i do not have a right wing attitude. far from it.
Did CI rise out of the ashes that once was Rivals.net? Not606 is essentially a newer version of Rivals
What makes you think I was talking about you?
I have been on CI/Rivals as long, if not longer than most!
Personally I think Not606 is by far the best football forum on the internet, largely down to the quality of the moderation ...
