How this forum used to be....

Recommended Posts

I agree with all of you who are right and disagree with all of you who are wrong!

If you don''t like this message board anymore then don''t use it. I''l miss all the whingers when they stop using this board.

 "T''ain''t the same as used t'' be boi on dis siyt, i ''member when we all used t'' talk sense ''nd never gart excited ''bout ''vents down at Nest. Can you ''member dat me ''ol cock?"

I''ve kept the writing in black and white so you old fashioned folk feel at home in reading this post! Times change and things will never stay the same.

Bring on change.

Fordy, sadly you epitomise everything that is wrong with this forum.

And in future perhaps you could restrict your answers to something either legible or intelligent?

So you want it all your way do you?

Everyone to agree with everyone else?....therefore rendering an internet messageboard useless and a waste of everyone''s time....

Face it, this board has never, ever changed - it just reflects what''s going on with the club at the moment, and the people who are in this thread moaning about the "old days" are the ones who believe there is nothing wrong at the club, and are just gutted that they can''t have it all their way and that people don''t agree with everything they say.

So like I say, this board hasn''t changed. Get used to it.

I see that Dumble is indeed still with us, just not as prolific now ......are you still studying DD or is that now finished (you must be the eternal student   lol). 

I must admit I miss my sparring partner Mook, whatever happened to him, also Chicken, who always wrote at great length, with intelligent insights into the club....so much so a lot of people thought he was a club employee....whatever next?

Tumbleweed, please stay and contribute - I also miss FatManFat!  I havent'' seen this mysterious Cluck?  Is he/she still on here?

Negativity seems to cause some posters real anxiety.  They appear to believe that relentless positive thinking, in the face of all evidence to the contrary, will somehow make things better.  Therefore people who point out the negatives are undermining their project.

Relax folks.  It doesn''t matter how positive or negative you are, it won''t make the situation at the club either better or worse.  The most important thing is to be true to what you believe and call it as you see it.

Times change, yes. but do not necessarily embace evolution.

Change for the sake of change is one sure road to ruin.

Mystic, its not negativity that winds people up, its people taking an extreme view, being unable to back up that view, and resorting to calling people sheep etc when their extreme view is challenged.

Without people holding different opinions, there would be no point to any message board. This board has always had argument and disagreement (I lurked long before I joined) however the levels of rudeness these days can be breathtaking.

It''s not for'' um..........it''s for ''em![:|]

It''s lost it''s ''mojo'' this forum........all the humour has been sucked out of it - by the serious belittle brigade.

They, who just can''t help noticing, "that they''re incredibly more intellectual than those who just want to put their personal opinion down on here"........These pseudo intellectuals'' must be right borin'' anal ''no chins'' out on the beer.....drinkin'' non alcoholic drinks so as not to let their guard down.....as they''ve really got to try and keep the upper hand. I''m just chuffed I don''t have to socialise with them out in the real world.

But then, I am borin''.......[|-)]

I have no problem with negativity if it can be backed up. For example, I consider myself to be a positive poster most of the time, but I posted on here that last season was the worst in terms of league defeats since 72 / 73, which is negative, and factual.  I also called for local investment on this board before we knew about the Turners.  If it''s negativity based on he said she said hearsay, what purpose does it serve ?  All it does in my eyes is distract from genuine concerns.

What''s so bad about constructive criticism and benefit of the doubt ?

Quite agree - the problem is that too many threads seem to say exactly the same thing, particularly of the "get rid of the board" variety, adding nothing to the debate as they have nothing new to say. 

I think most people are happily in the middle somewhere, and I am happily in this group - I don''t think everything Norwich is 100% right or 100% wrong, good decisions and mistakes been made in the last few years, as at all clubs and organisations; for most people this is no particular reason for binning the board, but we can quite rightly ask questions of it, and be constructive or critical when we think it is right to be.  It is when each and every post is critical and saying the same thing that I get a bit bored with it!

Am I in the minority in the fact that I enjoy this forum? I can get involved with posters of differing views without it becomong nasty and I find most posters to be good natured with me. The others it''s easy enough to avoid.

I only joined last year but I read the messages for a long time before I posted. There''s always been bitching, stupid rumours cliques and infighting and there''s always been some informative and interesting threads. I agree with Alex_NCFC''s post and Mystic makes great points in hers.

I also think Blainsey''s comments to Fordy epitomise the way posts are de-based by bitching and in-fighting.

Amen Post Ghost.

Blainsey - lighten up!! You seem to take this board and my posts a little too seriously. I thought that this board was supposed to be a fun message board where people exchange their lghthearted views on the club we all support!

there is absolutely nothing wrong with constructive critiscm and from the original thread i am in favour of debate. but that is the point...debate. rarely are there threads that include informed debate. these days.

I''m sad because nobody misses me. Haven''t posted for a while mainly due to the depressive nature of this board. Reading a headline about a possible signing i get excited and wish to discuss. I click on the message board and see post headings with such a negative spin i just close down firefox. It''s a shame but hopefully Grant will cheer a few of you up. Did anyone miss me?

Aaah Mello.  Speakin'' as wunner those who takes themselves far too seriously (but being decent enough to notice), I beg, no implore you to educate me in the ways of Mello-ism.  You could open a branch of the University of life with an "MPhil in Malarkey", containing coursework-based modules such as Applied Saunterin'', Stackin'' Beermats, Talkin'' Guff in a 7 beer situation, and Dog End Management (God Bless Lucky, RIP).  I could attend all the lectures, which the lecturer wouldn''t show for, do all the coursework in a diligent and consciencious fashion, (instructions on the back of a fag packet left on the front desk) before the final "make-or-break" test.  Of course, all of this Stepford-like effort on my part would prove to be a total waste of time, as the only way to pass the final test would be not to show, but to be down the pub, taking my skiving seriously !
