Quote UllFC="UllFC"This.
Social media has reduced the amount of posters and its become dull. I dont think the site is very user friendly though it is slow and hard to use on both my android phone and apple Ipad which id imagine is the main way people access the site these days.
As for the posters themselves its long been a cuddle crew on here. They wouldent have a bad word said about the Hetheringtons, Agar, Gentle...the club was blindly backed whatever it did. The only thing the cuddle crew got right was backing Radford, about 1 sucess in 15 years.'"
In a nutshell, yes.
The reduction of activity on here has little to do with the tit for tat stuff.... frankly that has always been on here... at it's peak the Hull and Rovers banter was wildly out of control at times - the reason is technology. I've run several forums, the topics are things like recruitment, overseas travel... that doesn't attract that sort of banter, and the activity has completely tailed off there as well.
Forums still have their place, sites like Redit are very popular. But here you can see new media against old. Websites like this are covered in terrible advert boxes, heavy web scripts and forms, embedded elements etc., while not offering a dynamic experience like modern social media sites. Same reason newspaper websites are failing, I can't even get on the awful experience that is the Hull Daily Mail website. It's failed to modernise, which is understandable, it's a free website at the end of the day but that's the reason imo. I still come on here (obviously) as I prefer the more structured nature of the discussion and I think it still has it's place.
On a side note, I can't believe I joined this site in 2002! More than 15 years ago!  I think that was about the time they took the forum off the HullFC.com website.

| Quote UllFC="UllFC"You can loyally support and still question how things are being run. The late 00s and early 10s saw the club being underfunded and ran into the ground, finishing 8th with an embarrassment in the playoffs if we were lucky...and some just had their blinkers on and wouldent criticise anything. And threads or posts question things were shot down by the regulars on here.
We may not have set the world alight in 2017 so far, but at least I have faith my cash is being used in the best interests of the club these days.'"
The counterpoint of course is that the weight of negativity against a club maintaining SL status for 20 odd years despite lack of a generous benefactor to sling in £500k a year and with no alternative ownership being put forward was excessive and warranted balance. 6 major finals probably puts us in the top 5 successwise, which is probably commensurate with our income seeing that we don't have a Lenegan or Davy. I criticised Rule's persistence with Agar (to him directly) and Pearson's early decision-making. We've had our best couple of years in a generation and when this sort of context is presented it's dismissed as cuddle crew apologism.  | | | |

I don't like the adverts, or RLNewsHound, or CTSports comments, but it's what RLFans does. Last time I checked nobody forced anybody to come on the site.
It's simple, if you don't want to read what people think, don't log on.
You keep bumpy in check mate, along with Jake's help, this all runs along pretty well.'"
Banning someone for having an opinion?!?! Really??? Welcome to 1984 - You're George Orwell and I claim my £5!! | | | |

To be fair to him he was banned for similar.
I don't agree with bans (except for illegality) but think people shouldn't feed trolls. One person refute what they say and move on. | | |

i can well remember the day i first signed up for the forum (the old one on hullfc.com) i had to try to defend the majority of fans after the infamous cup semi final at the mcalpine along with a few FC fans in the face of what seemed like the rest of the RL world. i liked the old newsgroup best of all, there was some top banter on there |

you're going back to the dial up modem days (which was still faster than this bloated site).
Posters who had a bit of fun.
As CforCuckoo said, I was banned in the past for having an opinion, but I admit at times I was unnecessarily blunt. But that was in the days of other moderators who moderated based on personal opinion, not the AUP, now we hardly see a moderator because they are professional people who can't spend all day on line.
If spegs is unhappy I suggest he/she just doesn't log in, nobody forces you to.
If admin don't sort the adverts out then RLFans will die, I don't come on here for dating, holidays, life insurance etc. I don't need an entire fixture list clogging up my screen. Even the Sin Bin logo has a referee with a red card, not yellow. The whole site has lost it's "core values" | | | |

No wonder i don't use this anymore, took me 5 minutes to log on and reset my password. Then clicking on.bloody adverts as my screen changed
Not really used for a good few years, it's not kept up with modern technology and social media trends plus the moderators across the board made it a place you couldn't speak up if your opinions was different to them.
Any trolling resulted in bans and it just became a boring place.

You do know that many adverts are are a result of your frequent online searches? Dating, holidays......  | | |

yes, compmetely understand, but RLFans should't be privvy to my search history, it's illegal and imorral.
there should be only RL related adverts.
amazing how there's never any adverts for cooking, training, government legislation, the weather, things I search for much more often.
RLfans has lost it's purpose.
