Can you hear thetownend.com sing?

[tans]

Many people who i have spoke to have said the pun threads really annoy them.Alot of threads you can look at the title and decide if you read it or not but it's got to a stage where nearly every thread you read is derailed.

Then on top of that we have a element of posters on here who are just interested in posting negative shit for the sake of it. It's been described at times as a tef meltdown and that is exactly how it is.The element of supporters who went on one when dicanio was appointed always seem to resurface when we lose, flammable ben being a prime example.

Play shit and write shit i can understand that but people moaning for the sake of moaning gets very boring to be honest

Hi dean

[DRS]

I like the forum. I use it mainly to find out information about the football team as living abroad, this is probably the best way of learning information about transfers, matches bar none.

I do also enjoy the non-football topics, and have to confess find the puns amusing, however can see why it would annoy people.

The thing to remember is that everyone is different and has different tastes. I think this forum covers a broad spectrum of football and non-football banter. For example, a lot of people on here loved Ben's nonsense threads, which personally on the whole, weren't for me. So I ignored them, instead of posting how I didn't enjoy them quite as much as others.

That's sort of my point.If i don't like a thread i won't read it but it got to the point where every thread just ended with shit

Hi dean

Glad yer back

Wow, some people clearly take this forum far too seriously..

People chat, some shit, some sense. Put them together, they will surely frustrate eachother.

I would say at the moment this forum consists of around 80% utter Bollocks inclusive of Puns (some funny, some irritating)... Go figure.

At the end of the day, fuck it... Lifes too short to let a fucking website ruin your day!

I think we need inspiration for new threads instead of recycling the same ones! Maybe another stunners thread,  but whilst there is no euro/world cup on we could do one for the town/city we are playing each week. Make it a league system.

Cracking idea

First observation is that Swindon have 2 main forums, this one & thisisstfc. Other Clubs just have the one main forum - Our Yellow friends.
If you amalgamated into one then this would increase the content.

It would increase content slighty but it would be for the worse

Crawley Stunners thread? Blimey.

Thing is Bosey alot of people were on here when the forum was a good craic. Had some cracking threads and funny as fuck things being posted. If i had joined now and moaned then yeah you got a point mate but when it goes from being a decent forum to one where you can more or less guarantee that the only threads you see will be either

Where is best place to buy a telly?
Matchday Thread- which ends up with everyone having a pop at crispy
Punfest

You can see why it get's boring.

I can only imagine, im still a noob here. I think a combination of new threads and a "Pun Warning System" is in need?

I used to be part of a forum that had a warning system for offensive comments, was kinda like a volume bar under your avatar and the admin could crank it up a notch every time you were a cunt (Or in this case made a shit pun) until you reached maximum warnings and were condemed to the Cunt (Pun) bin?

Just an idea, like i say, this is all new to me but negativity isnt going to help the situation, just gonna piss people off even more.

I didn't even realise that DRS had gone!  When did that happen?

Who upset who, come on, spill the beans!

[bullethead]

Definitely a lot quieter, used to be able to fill up quite a bit of work time reading stuff on here, these days it barely fills 15mins!
Think a few more opposition fans would help.... or maybe occasional posters like myself should pull their finger out and get typing?

[DV]

I think it's also a lot to do with any potentially decent thread getting killed off with 4 pages of shit puns.

Not to mention the 'It's Paolo, it's Paolo' bollocks as well.

[Sippo]

The site has got to serious thats the problem.

I do miss some of the old posters and enjoyed Mex's posts. However, deleting accounts and then coming back 3 days later is my bugbear.
