Can you hear thetownend.com sing?

fuck off newbie, you cunt.

your factual and accurate post which makes a lot of sense is worthless because you're new.

Getting loved up was the making of you. What a cunt you used to be

The forum ebbs & flows.  After all the politics died down at the end of 2007, it started to get very cliquey and the number of regulars fell.  And then a couple of years ago it started to really pick up again.  For some reason which I can't quite work out, it's taken a few steps back again since the start of this season.  I'm sure it will come back again.  On the plus side, there are a good few new posters on here that weren't here 12 months ago.

It was the drugs more than anything else.

You know it's gone to shit when arriba comes crawling out of the woodwork

...and talking about his favourite subject to, the clique.

A slight shudder at even the suggestion of 'amalgamating' with thisis.

It's a bit like saying we've got a small glass of single malt and they've got a bucket of piss and it would be better if we poured them together.

Let's all have a protest.

See you round the back of the Arkells tomorrow?

I've still got my orange hat.

You said clique, not me. You say it far more than i have.

Maybe more than your third account - not the second though....

mentioned it a few times over the years,but not like you've dressed it up in the way you did. Others have said it as much as me if not more. Don't let that stop you wrongly banging on about it though.

There's cliques on every forum. Once you know the views of one you can guess the views of the others. There does appear to be a shedload of arse licking around certain individuals.
As for the "newbies", its a bit of Darwinism - those who don't give much of a fuck survive whilst others don't.
The temptation with all forums is to take it too seriously. For me, its all about a bit of stress relief. Hard day at work - bore someone shitless with my ramblings - job done.
This forum is much better with the likes of arriba, sonicyouth, Mex, JJ Edmunds and DRS than without them. I'd like to see paulD, lumps, Bangkock etc return.
You don't have to agree with someone to resepct their views.
There are still enough "independents" on this forum to make it worthwhile

I know DV in real life, far from it making me 'cliquey' with him it merely reinforces my view that he's a miserable cunt with the personality of a dead and rotting haddock.

I miss all the real meltdowns and psycho posters (Remember Toni?) it's all a little tame now. Even DMR has become a boring cunt, who never really annoys me anymore. Never thought I'd say it, but I miss Lumps and Talk Talk.

I still sign on here a few times a day, but don't post anywhere near as much as I used to, either the quality has dipped or I'm just more chilled out now and don't feel the need to counter posts which I disagree with as much as I used to. It's still the only Swindon forum worth looking at though.
