| Quote Dave K.="Dave K."As Iv'e been named on here, ill defend myself, I maybe shouldn't react as much as I do, but I feel that I have to to defend the club and Radford, I don't mind balance but he offers very little. When I respond I don't insult him, I answer his points in in a respectful as possible manner, most of the time once he has no answer he doesn't respond and then repost the points a few weeks later.
'"
Which tells you all you need to know.
There's no point in responding, and the problem is too many people (the same people) do. It's like an addiction. Why respond when he'll not pay any attention and eventually just do the same again? All it does is flood the board, which is what he wants.
If the usual suspects just didn't bite, he'd stop bothering. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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.  |

The people who (correctly) called you out after your embarrassingly premature topic in 2016 saying the end was nigh? |

Wouldn't want to see either of them banned although the pair of them talk a load of b0llox.  |

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. |
