THE FORUM AS IT IS NOW

[StuartL]

I think we should ban flash, preferably for something he hasn't done
shall I start a poll?
this is a democracy, you can vote too flash

Go fuck yaself




It wouldnt be the first poll about whether i should fuck orf

You always have Arsenal Land to fall back on

[Chippy]

Talking of which, where is BG?

He banned himself, forgot he banned himself and started posting again.
Then he remembered he was banned and stopped posting again.

Wasn't that M50? or have I drunk too much again?

[augie]

Ban Flash. And Augie .

What have I done ??

[Herd]

Dear Sammy Drops his shorts ,
You name is fantastic and as a man who was on the receiving end that night of Mr Nelsons amazing underpants I chuckle at the very name .
In no way do I attack you but i have to say I find it hard to understand why the vast majority of the mods on here are in the "Wenger ate my Hamster" brigade ?
Flash over the last 2.5 years I've regularly infested this board has been one of the biggest cyber bullies in existence however gets all miffy if u go for him and has people banned because of their attacks on his family .
The "if you don't like go somewhere else" makes me laugh and reminds me of how touchy everyone gets one here when people who try and be positive suggest those who hate the board/club/wenger etc say to those persons that they should fcuk of catch the 279 and go the Swamp.
I took a persona to cause some controversy and debate but as others have done since the board re-opened I'm doing my best to get on but the bile that continues to pour onto anything positive for a team that is now in 3rd place in the league leaves me mystified !

I am and remain the Herd !

What is annoying is the almost schizophrenic Modding. One minute anything goes, the next minute people get modded for a bit of banter, just because it's construed as Wumming or abuse. It's like Premier League referees dealing with handball in the penalty box or in-active / active off-sides. I used to joke about a clique. It was all tongue-in-cheek at the outset to be fair, but I always maintained that there was a truth to it. All that has happened here is that the clique is the Mod Team. It really is laughable. You lot joke about Pravda. You're running the best Pravda impersonation I've ever seen. It even holds up when someone attacks this place or the actions of a Mod.... you all jump in to protect each other and to deny what we can all see is going on. Anyone who slags this place is told to go somewhere else. Have a think and realise the irony of this statement.... Red is deemed a WUM because he's positive. I quite like the bloke. At least he gives the Forum debating points and an opportunity to put respective points across. All the Mods do is partake in in-jokes that aren't even funny.

It's a real shame, it really is that this place has been destroyed by egos.

It's cool

I dont get it

[the playing mantis]

steady on flash, im not moaning about the state of it now and the new regs as nothing can be done about it and its not the mods fault and i have no issue with the new regs, merely lamenting for what was and and pointing out a fact that the place is quieter and doesnt appear to be picking up imo.

i havent moaned about the mods, ive only moaned about the reasoning it got shut with my conspiracy theory.

if i and others were to go elsewhere it wont help in getting his place back to its former glory.

in recap i moan about why we got closed, and lament how quiet we are.

What absolute bollocks on this thread!

Seriously, if anyone doesn't like the forum, just stop posting! For Christ's sake, why waste time doing something you hate? I really don't understand that.

And all this "the mods did this, the mods did that, the clique this, the clique that" rubbish. Anyone notice alot of it is coming from the usual suspects that blame the Police for everything bad that happens in the entire world?!

I'm assuming most of you are grown men (with the exception of the teenaged Malay ladyboy with hooligan fantasy issues ) so why not act like grown ups? Make a decision, be proactive in your life. If you don't like it, leave, find somewhere you do like. Enjoy life.

And Herd? I was the one that had Mrgnu banned for his disgraceful taking the piss regarding Flash's deceased father. You think that is acceptable behaviour anywhere? To rip the piss about a man's father dying? A couple years back, I sat in a hospital room and watched my own father breath his last right in front of my eyes, mate, as cancer destroyed him. I'm still fucked up over it, probably always will be. If any fucker ever took the piss outa that I'd make it my life's work to fuck them up. Honestly.

Mrgnu got off light with just being banned from a football forum. And Flash's behaviour that day was a credit to him as a man.

Its the why spend money on something you hate mentality that has enabled me to go to so many games that ST holders can't be arsed to attend anymore. Long may it continue - get those pennies ready for Uncle Ivan again

[the playing mantis]

spot on stevo same reason we pay 1300 quid every season and will do again..gluttons for punishment.

seriously though i dont hat it, i like it just wish it was busier so could have something to read that lasts the whole train journey home!

[Herd]

Since your post was almost wholly directed at me Il answer you .
I enjoy posting here DB always have done ,I didn't know the reasons behind the banning of **** but at the time there was a lot of very personal insults flying around the forum but u chose to ban him and have the gall to say he got off light ,WTF is that all about ??
No I dont think cancer is fun,I watched my grandad get eaten from it ,so what ??? , words are exactly that words, they dont contribute or cause diseases nor cure them.
Similarly I dont blame the Police for anything wrong in the world DB I just am very aware of them and their ways,I call things as I see them. This irks you greatly as does anyone whose posts doesn't agree with you .
This forum takes up 15 mins a day max when I'm not busy or on holiday or weekends when I'm busy getting on with life ,but I do realise it's a lot more than that for you,and it's clear you take things very personally,but please understand it's not your personal fiefdom and the whole point of a Forum is surely to discuss and debate .
For my part I will try to accommodate your sensitivities in the future, I suggest you do likewise to others but feel free to insult me with anything as it doesnt bother me one jot .
Have a Nice Day everyone !

[augie]

Seriously herd, there is a line of decency that you just dont cross and the guy went way past that If you cant see that then really you should have a chat with yourself man

[Herd]

Augie read what I said ,I already stated very clearly that I didn't know what he said and I dont condone such vitriol ,but I've seen a lot on here that crossed your so called lines lines particularly on the subject of death albeit largely in 3rd or 4th party terms of those that died at Hillsborough !

If you cant see through the blatant hypocrisy in those that demand empathy whilst showing no compassion for humanity themselves than I'm truly sorry for you !

[flash gunner]

After reading Herd's last few days of digs at me i thought it might be time to set the record straight. Now this isnt a **** style meltdown but just need to answer or clear up a few things.

My views on Hillsbro are quite clear and i have written this before i feel very very sorry for every liverpool fan killed or injured that day and the vast majority if not all of them were the innocent victims. They were the ones who turned up early and therefore were forced against barriers or fences and murdered by many of the people who want justice now. Now the police, the FA and conservative government of the time are in no way blameless but there is/has to be a percentage of blame linked to liverpool fans that day however big or small that might be and thats what i want them to accept.

The problem i had with **** was a big deal at the time and if anyone says things like that to my face then or now i would smack them one or 10 but it was dealt with and i hoped would be forgotten but unfortunately no ...... Now i have given people stick on here but nothing personal about them or family members and that is a line i would never cross FFS Herd even though we havent got on and you intensely dislike me i even congratulated you on the birth of your child 6 months to a year ago (or whenever it was)

This isnt aimed at anyone in particular but the forum is how it is, take it or leave it. its not as maverick as it used to be and thats a shame but we had our forum and collectively we fucked it up. Its the last chance for the forum anymore shutdowns and it wont be re-opening (and before i have anyone saying im too big for my moderator boots these arent my words) If anyone thinks im a bullying tosspot who abuses my new fangled housekeeping powers please pm Mike1 and complain and if youre right im sure he will take these powers i supposedly love away from me.....

Personally herd, I have great sympathy for those that died in hillsborough and for their families but that sympathy does not extend to all scousers, many of whom contributed to those deaths and many who just like playing the victims with their moral outrage The people who dies on that awful day were the fans who did arrive early to the ground and done everything by the book only to be crushed by many of their own people who turned up at the last minute and created a stampede situation I would suggest that if you read the comments of most Gooners on here they would by and large echo that view so to make a sweeping remark about vitrol towards the dead in hillsborough is actually wide of the mark and a misrepresentation of what was actually said.

Btw you should also be aware that on many occasions prior to his expulsion, the guy you are speaking about received several warnings about his conduct which he tried to excuse by blaming alcohol so it wasnt as if it was a snap decision to expel him. Most people on here will tell you that this forum used to be very easy going about conduct to the point that some issues spiralled out of control and led to us being shut down that time so to get barred back then was some achievement
