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.

seriously - he was banned for saying Denilson should play?
I thought that was a joke...

it wasnt just the denilson post, he is constantly changing his opinion just to annoy people and after a lot of complaints i took the decision to give him a week away and i hope if and when he comes back he will learn to stop and post normally.

what about the MODS giving out incentive awards to posters on a monthly basis, for example

£20 Poster of the Month
£10 Most posts in a month
£5 Funniest thread of the month

surely this would improve the quality of threads, more people would post and it would encourage new members

:D :D

thanks for letting me back on.
I agree that the Denilson comments were a bit OTT, I didnt consider any of my other posts to be a problem though.
I also disagree that I keep changing my opinions. I find that a bit strange- I have always thought we would finish in the top 4 all season, unlike most other posters on here.

Welcome back mate. I'll probably get Armchair or Henry Norris on here soon boring on and on, about referencing your posts, but good to have you back.

The new rules according to some is that you're not allowed to like certain players, in my case Abou Diaby, otherwise you are a WUM.

:lol: Ha ha. If you read my posts you'll see that I defended RM's right to post what he wanted. Also that he should not have been banned. :D

great....

wumming in moderation is fine, its funny, stevo is a wum with his contstant encouraging and lording of a 12 year old, but usually he doesnt it let it go to far, nd knows when the jokes worn thin.

anyway the forum is dieing sadly. although im not much of a contributor due to having lack of time/better things to do...!...i try and catch up with it every few days at lunchtime, and its evident that the number of posters isnt here anymore and its the same few posting all the time, it takes very little time to read the new stuff, in the past it took an age with new posts often going as far as the 2nd page. some quality posters are gone, number 5, swiss baba (not babatunde),DB10 etc are sorely missed

i suppose the good thing about reds and babatunde wumming was that it stimulated reactiona nd posting. the place needs some mr wildebeast style meltdowns to stir up interest again.

Maybe it just needs a bit of advertising that it has moved / changed name ?
Perhaps in the next Gonner edition there will be a mention of the name change and old posters along with a few newbies will "come and join us over here" :barscarf:

cant see what the name change has to do with it. its the still the same link form the OG home page and sure it would come up if you googled og forum.

its a lost cause im afraid. the useles brown noses red action piped up, the owner noticed the forum went against his akb views, the club, i dont doubt for 1 minute, got in touch, and he shut it down killing it and its potential for stirring a fans revolt.

THIS PLACE WAS SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER ARSENAL FORUMS. NOW IT IS LIKE ALL THE REST. YOU HAD A GOOD THING AND THEN YOU FUCKED IT UP.

JUST CLOSE IT DOWN AND SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME AND MONEY.

To be fair the place was down for a while, a fair few people probably checked it for a few days and assumed it was gone- I only kept checking because I get incredibly bored at work! People might not think to google the forum all the time. Hopefully in time it'll get back to being as busy as it was prior to being shut. I don't think its changed too much either- the initial no swearing rule was stupid but its been sensibly altered so its canny now. Anyway, its probably just as well there wasnt a revolt, it would have looked a bit daft when you started winning every week regardless of how disappointing the season has been overall
