THE FORUM AS IT IS NOW

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Frank's onto something here.

- Just like Rebecca Brooks, our own editor has been hauled in by the cops.

- The owner, in an effort to avoid further bad publicity, has cleaned up his act to appease the corporate cash on offer from expanding the business model.

- The Forum has returned, as a "red top".

It's spooky!

As I understood it trolling/ wumming was to be banned and those guilty of it banned, why then has redmember been allowed to continue to do exactly that on this forum, and when reprimanded, insist he isn't wumming and make a piss taking apology. :roll:

Im massively in favour of the new system, you can actually have a good debate on here now - knowing that ultimately your speaking with other Gooners who, at the end of the day, want the same things you do.

Except Siddy - Ban him the miserable bar steward :barscarf: :wink:

In all seriousness, both sides of the debate are getting along much better now, it needed to be done and im glad it has been.

We are all Arsenal at the end of the day

Lol - the place would be a lot duller without Red Member !

Sid, you're just bitter because he's whipping you in the predictions league :D

Augie, I'm amazed you're rising to his gentle wind-ups yet didn't react to his calls earlier in the season to drop Chesney and call up your old buddy Almunia :D

Im totally opposed to RED being banned he brightens up my day with his posts we could do with his positive attitude on here.In fairness to the guy hes never rude or abusive and seriously anyone taking some of his posts serious really need to lighten up.I think we should start a RED MEMBER FAN CLUB.I just read 1 of his posts somewhere where he said we have been title contenders since sept because we have approx the same points total as manure and shitty up to now this kind of stuff is priceless and the forum would be at a loss without him. :lol:

I dont get annoyed by redmember and his obvious wumming but it does cause bad feeling amongst people which could lead to abuse like back in the good/bad old days of the forum :?

i dont get why red member is considered a wum, hes no worse then the shite that comes out of some of the so called realist posters on here who wont listen or debate and feel there right no matter how good arsenal play or who we sign.
