| Half the the users of this board would need to be banned to get it anywhere near how good it used to be. It used to be a pleasure to post on here. Unfortunatly, over the past 2 years, maybe more, its been swarmed by a gang of idiots.

| Quote: 'Hitman' Norvern Soul ""Lighten up, it's just a forum"
I think these words should be our mantra tbh.
I could count on the number of one hand the people who frequent this board that I actually know in person, and even then, I knew them before I knew their RLfans username. For the main, it this merry band of few that I disagree with the most - in terms of quantity and magnitude. I can honestly say that not once did I bump into St Conroy in the street and he stopped me to say "You short, ugly Swear Filtering so-and-so, how very dare you have a different opinion from me. That's it, our friendship is over".
.'"
Love you to.
I think a big problem with the forums (in general) is the difference in humour. I might post something intended to be funny which Norvern Soul would understand because we are good friends. Somebody else might take offence. There is so much scope for people to find harmless posts' offensive or vice versa i think this is reflected in people's responses.
Specifically in terms of this board i think potentially most of the reasons why the forum is "bad" is the form of you guys. Virtually every thread descends into a King/Monaghan/Briers/Cullen type argument amongst people who are on either sides of the fence. Most, if not all, of these types of threads would disappear if form was consistent.
Personally, i read this forum all the time as i go to Warrington games and know a few of the posters and generally it is quite entertaining to read both in terms of comedy and decent discussion. It is by no means the worst out of the SL forums.

Ha ha ha.
I love the cliques. I am a member of the best one but some of the others are awful, particularly that Amateur Players from the 90s one.

| I'm a great beleiver that there should be a mix of debate & the lighter side. There should always be room for fun, as well as the back & forth stuff on the technical side, or player opinion.
I'd hate this to become an area that just becomes a race to be the first to link the newest Wolves or Guardian article. If you do that, at least offer an opinion on it that we can talk about.
Mods do a great job generally, but if being an & posting ill informed nonesence ain't against the rules then their hands are tied. I agree that some of the stuff should be sent to other places (Jade to the Bin, Hillsborough to other sports for eg.).

4 of the 96 fans who died were from Warrington, surely its alright to have a rememberance thread on our forum.
I agree with the rest of your point though.

Just looked at the Guardian website and it reads 95 on the pitch, what's that about

When that picture was taken, only 95 had died. Tony Bland (I think) died a few years later.

I used to really enjoy posting on here, having a bit of banter and talking about RL.
Now, I don't enjoy it as much. The plentiful RL discussions have been replaced with daft O/T threads, people flinging personal insults at others, silly arguments breaking out, and people nitpicking at others spelling and grammar.
I've not posted as much as I usually do, mainly due to this reason but also for the fact that I have a pathetic mobile broadband internet connection.

You were doing well until the last bit, which is probably the only reason for your non posting

Aye, I get away with murder me
I don't tend to bring up ancient threads though. In fact, I don't remember a time when I ever did that. Feel free, to back that up with proof though.
