It's sad what's happened to this board over the past few years but I think it just mirrors many other forms of Social Media tbh. Now I've never been a regular poster on here but I always enjoyed reading the views of far more knowledgeable rugby fans than myself...... and although there were often disagreements it was generally good natured debate and people would agree to disagree and move on. Now it just seems like a certain minority (as is the case on most RL Fans forums) who take great pleasure im antagonising people for their own pleasure. You only have to look at the VT to see every thread derailed by a Hull FC-Hull KR b1tchfest! Remember 20 years ago when discussing rugby in the pub you just ignored the local village idiot (or slapped him!

)who annoyed you? Not so easily done with Social Media and it says a lot about the world we live in when the likes of Joey Barton, Kim Kardashian, Katie Price etc are followed by millions on Twitter, Instagram etc etc.
How we resolve this, god only knows but as fans we all need to take responsibility for not letting this board die. 99% of people on here are more than likely adults so can we all please start acting like one?! (and yes I include myself in that and will try my damnedest not to be wound up by the numpties!!!)
