I have never known it so quiet on here? Surely the number of posts today has been the lowest ever?

really?

To be honest its become now't but grief and grief that I pay for. I'll give it another month to see if things improve but basically if everyone continues with this infighting and constant backbiting then then I'll just quietly disappear. This is no hissy fit or rattle throwing session, it take a fair bit of graft to keep this thing going, I'm seriously wondering if its worth it.

If you're not happy then let the culprits know, if they don't adhere then ban them. If its becoming a bit too much then maybe someone could take over a lot of the running, if its a question of finance then i'm sure that can be sorted.

Come on, im sure something can be sorted. Its a great board to keep upto date with things, have some great laughs on here, foooking ell, some people spend half their lives on here :laugh:

well it would be a shame to see this board go to the wall, by far and away the best Pools board around.

ptbap · **Posted:** Sun Jul 26, 2009 8:01 pm

Been there, done it, got the t-shirt.

Not a good feeling Mr I, your message should be a reality check for all. Keeping something like this going is difficult and unrewarding.

misterb2001 · **Posted:** Sun Jul 26, 2009 8:06 pm

is there no way of sharing the responsibility? make it a bit easier for Mr I?

Mr Irrelevant · **Joined:** Thu Aug 17, 2006 8:25 pm **Posts:** 22671

It's not so much down to workload but I do sometimes wonder why I bother. Recently I often log on and see nothing but shite. It does need to stop or this board will go the way of others.

Thanks for the offer though.

I would be a travesty if this board went "tittus verticus", it is, as an exile, my main source of disinformation!!!

I'd subscribe to keep it going.

So what do you need to see more of to make it worthwhile?

Or is that to much of a simplification of the problems?

I think that perhaps too many of us take this place for granted, and don't appreciate the time, effort and money that goes into keeping it going.

I agree with the others, living away from the town if this board wasnt around I would have to look to the mail and my dad for info on pools which would be like recieving a telegram it would be old news.

Isnt it a football message board?
I mainly see people taking chunks out of eachother for absolutely nothing. Maybe when the season kicks off fully and we are in full flow the shite will stop and the usual footy banter will re appear. But until the season starts im keeping my distance from this board in regards to posting at my usual volumes.
Without naming names Talbot Avenger is a shit stirring poster who attacks anything anyone says that he doesnt agree with. refred

ps. whoever said subscription..... good idea? If every active member paid 50p to Mr I that would foot the cost of the domain (not sure what else he pays for mind but I would imagine more stuff)

Talbot simply doesnt suffer fools gladly, particularly the ones who are ridiculously negative

I passionately hate negative folk. Well, not hate thats too strong-a-word but more annoying than anything else.

Loid Haw-Haw of Sussex · **Posted:** Mon Jul 27, 2009 2:53 pm

Mr I runs a good board .How about sending him on holiday as a reward ? I've saved them coupons from the £9.50 Sun holidays .What do you think ?

Time is money and all that Sussex. Imagine if all the time he uses to keep this board up and running for the likes of you and your cronies was used for a 2nd job he could have a full 2nd wage (possibly). But instead he uses his own cash to keep you argueing with Talbot Avenger. stpid

Nah it will be worse oncethe season starts. Should myself or Grave et al say anything remotely negative after a 5 -0 thrashing and there will be the usual insults and uproar.

It is always worse during the season. The bunker is all friendly mid season when we are not talking about football. As soon at it gets to preseason the arguments start and they get more and more heated until the seasons climax. This current atmosphere will just be the appertif!

Blame the Rose-tinted spec brigade for that. And the Corner Flag. And that fella who thinks he's a rock singer, you know, lead singer in a group, plays at weddings, parties, old folks homes.

Please dont shut the board down, it is the only way that I and others who work in foreign parts can get honest open opinions on how our team are playing.

Ok we get the occasional wind-up merchant but we all only want the best for Pools.

Up the Pools, come on lads nowt to beat! :laugh:

From where I'm sitting, there's far too much shite spouted. The treatment of PoK is a case in point. He rarely descends to insults yet gets nothing but shite from everyone else. There are times on here when all the school kids get together to bully some poor soul.

From what I've seen, I don't think it's as simple as that. I don't think anyone comes on here with the intention of bullying, and I don't think people would view what they do as bullying. Taking the michael, yes, but not bullying.

I didn't use the word bullying, but now you mention it, it's an apt description of some people's actions.
