Fair enough but I wanted to offer my gratitude for this forum nonetheless, given I contribute very little to it.
TBH mate I think you have the same trust/mistrust/hope/despair issues as we are all currently feeling.

You have already posted far more than several lurkers anyway so you are less a lurker than an occassional poster now, you have been promoted Smiley

I recall lurking for about 5 years before becoming a valued contributor.

And I have the said individual on ignore, can’t be bothered with the ‘attention seeking and victim’ style of the posts.
Fair Enough !!.

Many years ago when I posted under a different name, this was one of the best forums around.
I use to be in the private section as well, so I know how you make opinions of others.

Unfortunately it now has a handful of posters who rule this site (please do not have different opinion to the click).
Not having a go, but one of the reasons why many do not bother to post.

As has been said by myself and other posters, some have been hounded out and won’t ever be seen again sadly.

Any examples? I am not sure that many have been banned.

I am not sure that speaking his mind was the reason why he attracted the ire of the admins, but I could be wrong on that.

A case of wilful ignorance there! He was banned (weren't you both temporarily banned?) for spamming the shit out of this forum. IIRC, the ban was lifted and he chose not to come back?

I've read this forum since it's birth (20 odd years ago??)  Joined as a member a few years ago.

As I live in Kent its been a good place to get Town news/views/gossip and fellow fans views. I post when I feel I've got something worth posting really..

One thing about this forum is that it never really grew into something big. We have a total of 1,293 members, not many compared to similar sized clubs. Don’t often see new members sign up, just wondering why it never really took off.

I used to imagine that you all knew each other and it was a bit of a clique but have discovered that is not some much the case.

I think if you go back 10/15 years that was probably more the case, but those groups have drifted apart socially and linked to that, don't post here as much.

It's a bit like a long-running show where almost the entire cast has been replaced. I can only think of Scrubs as an example though, which doesn't bode well

The ban was lifted, he was told in no uncertain terms not to carry on and he carried on so we permanently banned him. Then he goes all woe is me with the messages etc.

He was told, directly by more than one mod to stop the bullshit. He didn't. We move on.
