they must be posting elsewhere... you can’t go from 15/20 posts a day on here to nothing...
anyone found them on twitter? or have they been locked up? murdered? both?
The Internet forum is a dying thing I feel. Twitter and Facebook is where most people are now.
I’ve been on here for years and can go a few weeks without a post now a days. There’s not enough topics being created and not enough wars to be glued to at the moment. We’ve lost some good posters too.
Reddit says otherwise.
If you are registered and active on a football forum, it indicates that you have a hardcore interest in your side and a fundamental understanding of football (there are exceptions). I wouldn't dream of discussing football on Twitter or FB as you have to do with no marks who know fuck all.
As regards to the old posters disappearing, the level of debate on this board isn't what it used to be, it's a bit of an echo chamber, there used to be a diverse mix of characters and now it seems to me to be a narrow middle-aged grump fest. It might also not help that we win most of the time and there is extraordinarily little instability. I joined during the Pearce regime when there was lots to discuss!
Many posters fucked off due to a spat with another poster......I think that's about as sad as it can get when you are so offended you fuck off from a site that you have been involved in for donkeys years.
Other posters just outgrew the internet I think...I doubt they post elsewhere...some say its due to having a kid , or too much work......thats all BS excuses...they just outgrew the site.
In 20 years I stayed away for like 2 weeks or so and that was down to losing interest due to no atmosphere / fans at games / lock down shite....but I still came back when I perked up.
I will never leave due to a spat with another cunt on here , that's for sure.
