I don't think you're the only one who forgot. A lot of people even on the day itself were asking if it was still on, since nothing had been said about it since it was announced.

It was still reasonably well attended, but nowhere near the jam packed it was at the previous one (although that's probably a good thing as a certain Mr. Duffy used the opportunity to try to embarrass me ).

Point I was trying to make though was purely that people find negative news more juicy and interesting than positive news. Always the way it is unfortunately.

It's a good point. When I first came on here it was one pre-season and I was fed information that I shared on here thinking it was gospel and made a bit of a di*k of myself. It was a genuine mistake, which I learnt from, but I was hounded for months after that. Anything I said was discounted as nonsense. I'm too thick skinned for it to have really bothered me, but I can see how people may be "scared off".

Precisely the situation I'm meaning yeah. Even if the info turns out to be false, that doesn't mean the person that's posted it is in the wrong, they may have just been fed duff info themselves. Unless they act like a kn0b about it all (like a certain "Ainscough to Hull" person did), then is it really so wrong of them to come on here and share the info with other Bulls fans?

Yeah, take the info with a pinch of salt, especially for new folk. But casting people out every time just based on that, is gonna turn away a lot of people who could potentially add a lot to the forum with their news/info and opinions/debate. Which is what we're all here for really.

It's pretty unfortunate I guess when a genuine newbie gets caught up in it but, there are trolls out there though, who get banned (from here and elsewhere) and then come back with a new name and account (and, obviously, zero posts) and just carry on where they left off.

Unfortunately, and I plead guilty, when some superficially outlandish rumour appears, the first thing many of us look at is the number of posts against the name of the OP as it often gives a clue as to how genuine the rumour might be. Once bitten twice shy is the usual adage, I guess.

Totally agree. After all there was some trumpet on here a couple of months back with an excess of 6500 posts who told us all that Moi Moi was signing.

Post count is no indication of knowledge.

You're right of course. And I would argue that more often than not, new people with "rumours" will be trolling. But I wouldn't want us to turn away the minority of those who aren't trolling and are simply trying to share something they've heard with other fans, just because they get tarred with the same brush as the idiots. Otherwise boards like this have a tendency to become a bit too cliquey, when in reality you want as many different opinions and views as you can get really. Except that Leeds lot obviously

As does your post make me fella. The quote error now leaves the term, "mystic eddie" trumpet.

How apt.

Haha! Fat fingers and iPhone screens don't work!! 

wouldn't even try coming on RAAB on the iphone, on the laptop - waiting for iPad2 announce today though got points through work I can spend on that

I use iPhone to post but have to re-read everything I type for spelling mistakes and that the post actually makes sense! (more often than not it doesn't) 

Hence you being more active on twitter?

I find best way to view these forums from my iPhone is using app called "TouchBB". There's a lite version which is free and let's you add up to 2 forums (RLFans overall counts as 1). Much easier for quick browsing and none of the big advert stuff that takes ages to load. Easy to post too (although it doesn't include your sig).

It only works for forums that are enabled for it, but RLFans is one of them that is.
