RE: The Forum.
Love you too dear
I don't see it dying, most forums can go on for years but I really think that members should be a lot friendlier to newbies(instead of hurling insults and remarks around) because they see it as upsetting the status quo they had before. I've seen this happen on a few forums, you also get cliques and of course people who instantly take a dislike to you-those sort of people you can ignore or block, but as to the actual forum, nah, I can't see it dying as such but in some cases I would say it needs to change its ways and be friendlier.

Club World Cup Winners 2019-YNWA!
So long, farewell, auf weidersehn, goodbye, adieu, syonara, ha su chin and CHEERIO!

RE: The Forum.
My two pennorth....
I wouldn’t say the forum is dying, it’s as active and lively as it was when I first joined it in June 2009...nearly 12 years ago now.
What has changed, and which has increased markedly recently, is the instances of sniping at certain posters on here. This is not a healthy development. It’s not clever, and it threatens to drive members away. What is healthy is a forum with a genuine diversity of members, with different attitudes, quirks, interests...whatever. Too many people with the same ideas, and things get stale, you just end up with an echo chamber.
I’m not saying that everyone should be matey with everyone else, but if for whatever reason you don’t like someone’s style of posting, then surely for the sake of keeping the peace, just block them.

RE: The Forum
I don't think I've seen anything lately that's not just normal 'rough and tumble'.
Those looking back on the past here are using rose tinted specs imo. It's been much worse than this, certainly for periods. Remember when negative reps were on the go? And why they were removed from the rep system?
There seems to be a situation developing now though, where we have to start walking on eggshells round some members.
I don't see this as being particularly healthy for the forum either.
Kingsmind - Your post about Joey being a drama queen was a good response to my post. I did chuckle a bit when I thanked the post. But you have to accept that Joey, being Joey, is going to have a pop back. That's just the way it goes.
I see he's had a pop at me this morning too, but it was a poor effort so I'm just going to let it go
