I totally agree, I use to post quite often and weigh in on some interesting discussion, but it doesn't seem happen anymore. Any decent threads there is always get de railed and end up getting locked. People changing their name constantly is annoying as well.

The mods need to step up and start kicking some ass. Crack down on all these silly rumours about players and like SEB said get back to interesting debates that are based on FACTS.

Prime example would be 'George Best/Casual Des' he's been on here two day and has managed to get away with 70+ posts of pure crap.

Would the term 'dumbing down' be too strong for the way this forum has gone?

Right, i've finally got to the end of my tether.....used to be a regular poster on here 2000-2005, when the forum started to slide into being a bit of a joke. These days its an absolute farce. Every other thread is dragged into a slanging match between memebers who exist/don't exist/using another name, can't you see that you're turning what was once an excellent forum into a pile of cack? Some members on here that i remember from the past, are the same ones who used to make this forum excellent, must be feeling the same as i am....Chester, SEB, Catsmith etc... These days i just tend to watch the forum as opposed to posting. Can't we do something about this, as its ruining my and surely others enjoyment?

I agree with you. Until the other night I rarely posted. I seem to have reached the end of my tether slightly before you.

I find it unpleasant when people use personal insults. For me it's not what a fans forum should be. It's a real turnoff for me.

I know of at least one other person who doesn't post on here because they feel intimidated.

BTW, this post is in no way a go at the Mods, they don't have eyes in the backs of their heads and they do a sterling job.

I used to post on here and now it’s all gone rubbish and I’m very upset about it! The kids with their slang and ruckus have took it down the swanny! Oh woe is me…

P.s I just saw Lee briers with a can of super tenants and a suspicious substance round his nose starting a fight with micheal monoghan who’s paycheck fell out of his pocket of the ground, creating a dibbert for Kevin penny to fall down whilst sprint practising with Usain bolt and that’s why he’s out of the 19 man squad!

P.P.S I have it on good authority from a mate who’s aunties cousins sisters dog had relations with wolfie and I can confirm that Chris Riley prefers to be known as strawberry blonde rather than ginger.

I'm just as interested in reading people's opinions as much as I am facts. Facts are helpful but some interesting debates can be brought up through opinion. People tend to disagree with opinions more but that's the beauty of debate, facts are interesting and I like reading things like Seb's 'stat attack', but I also enjoy reading people's opinion like JWP and Rob Wire.

Yeah that's what i mean. Opinions on things that have actually happened, rather than speculation.

Nothing wrong with speculation, within reason. If we just dealt in facts, there would be very little to discuss!

Opinions, discussion and debate are what I expected and used to get from this forum. Most of the time now it's like hacking into someone's MSN account.

Hopefully we'll get it sorted in the next few days.
