    Hey,

    What does everyone think about the overall switch most Stokies have made from BBC 606 to not606.com? What do we think of not606.com and its features? Because if you think about BBC 606, it had 'nothing' except very uninformative profiles.. whereas on here their is lots more. I do still go on BBC 606, but to browse instead of comment mostly.

    Plus, I wanted to express how pleased I am that this place is like a 'family', as friendly as we all were on BBC 606, I feel this is more 'cosy' and 'personal' and everyone (especially me) can 'be myself' more. ALSO, the mods actually being users we know, compared to BBC 606's 'moderators' who did their job, but lurked and were TOO strict.

    I mean I wasn't even allowed to post the following on there once:

    "I am watching an iraq goals stream, but it's awful. iraq goals is terrible quality"

    :huh:

    Anyway back to the point, yes, I just wanted to stress how it's great that its so active and friendly on here and how I feel to have 'gotten' to know Stokie's better on here.

    Cheers,
    Jub <ok>

    Initially I was pissed off that 606 board was closing down but once I saw this board I knew I would prefer it to the 606 board. It is much better presented, more user-friendly. Plus so many times recently i've been modded on there for just posting a link from another site!! So overall prefer it so much on here.

    Morning Jub,
    It's the grammar you are having a problem with - "Iraq goals is terrible quality" tut tut = Iraq goals are terrible quality.

    Sorry, just had an assessment back from my Tutor, I am doing a BA (Hons) in English Language and Literature!!!!

    Hi guys, my first post on here (I was St4_Stokie on the old 606 -cue collective groan from the TP haters ;)). I think this site is overall pretty similar to the oatcake with the added bonus of being able to interact more with fans of other clubs. I'm certainly not gutted 606 is closing down, put it that way!

    So... I've finally come over to not606 and I have to say I like it. Much more involved than BBC606. If I have time in between changing nappies and walks to the park I'll join in more than before.

    Welcome to the board StokeBloke. If you don't mind me asking, are you an American or are you a Englishman living over in LA?

    I'm a Stokie in LA, and I don't mind you asking at all. From Tunstall originally, but got sick of the weather and crap jobs and sold my house, bought a ticket and here I am. I know Americans can be daft, but I doubt any of them are Stoke fans! It takes a special breed of masochist to be a Stoke fan as you well know.

    Much better, I was not as involved on 606 and have made more of an effort which probably helps.

    Nantwich aka Foxy will find us sooner or later , he is a professional stalker with serial killer tendencies ! Now that comment wouldn't have lasted long on the old 606 :-D

    He will find us but Nantwich has never been modded by me or Potts. I imagine Potts will try and be diplomatic as possible but I will be ruthless and edit his posts just for my own amusement :emoticon-0136-gigglchildish maybe, but I am dealing with a child here, so it must be done.
