The main reason being that some of the most valuable contributors are fans of other clubs who pop in once in a while to cyber talk with us.

At the same time this board is not only free to use, it is advert free. It's run by a small group of people who give up a lot of time and money to keep it functional, and there are times when you genuinely wonder why we bother.

Friday night was a classic example. A bloke openly states on Facebook he is going on the Bunker to cause some bother, then Moderators have to piss about for a couple of hours locking threads, and deleting posts.

Its not unique to this board because Admin had to close ITB on Friday altogether.

We are in a no win situation here, a bit like the organisers of the Fancy Dress in that 2 or 3 individuals spoil things for the vast majority. If you ban these individuals they then go elsewhere and call you worse than shite, and you even end up getting shite when you go to games. Which frankly I don't need, and I'm sure other Mods feel likewise.

You also get smartarse fuckers who slag the board off left, right, and centre, yet seem to be on here more than the Moderators, then twist like fuck if it isn't available 24/7. One of whom has posted his usual " lets slag off the people running the board rather than try and see their point of view " guff on this thread.

At the end of the day Mr I has to decide whether he wants to fund and run a board that everyone can see or use, or whether he wants to run a board restricted to people he likes and who he can trust not to become abusive every time they have a drink. Looks like he has chosen the second option. Like I say I don't think its the way forward, but 100% understand why he has done it.


Would like to know Mr I's thoughts having reflected overnight.

You just need to look at the number of members signing in that I have never seen post to know how vital this medium is for fans to maintain there 'fix' of pools during the week.

I personally think it will be the end of the bunker if new one set up, a message board is what it is. Like said above just ban the idiots.

Can't disagree with anything you've posted Chip, Nor Mr I's current position - Hope Mr I is OK in himself - whatever he decides, we must respect that decision.

All,

Been busy so haven't got anywhere near populating it. This isn't about elitism, its about controlling the numbskulls who are pedalling shite and slagging off the board on facebook and ITB. If they hate it so much I'm not sure why they are such avid readers. This particularly applies to those with several faces. There are a small number of people who are just gutless shit bags and are nice to your face but slag you off at any opportunity. If you have reason to think this applies you you then you're probably right.

More to follow but I'm cooking dinner.

I don't post much, but it is part of my routine, get to work, cup of coffee and a read of the bunker.
Pretty much a life line as to what is going on for me given I live in Asia.

I can see it but don't have permission to read topics. Does that mean that I'm not sensible according the Bunker? Flattering in a sense, but not being able to read these 'sensible' ramblings of Bunkerites will make days at work a lot longer.

Why is it easier to set up a new board rather than block people who cause trouble? Have I missed something?

I can see the reasoning behind a new "idiot" free board but I would be disappointed if I could not read whats going on anymore. As someone previously stated it fills the midweek pools void, plus working in Saudi theres not a lot else to do other than twiddle my thumbs or read the bunker.

Whilst I appreciate that I haven't posted much at all, an invite to the new board would be very much appreciated, especially if this one is to close at some stage in the future ...

Is it possible to make the new board read only for the idiots/new members/occasional posters?

Can see the benefits but can also see it alienating new members and make the board cliquier than ever!

Ditto, first post, retired too many years ago, a poolie since 1951. Who remembers the the best half back line we ever had of bunch, punch and crunch aka Newton, Moore and Stamper?

Looks like he has chosen the second option. Like I say I don't think its the way forward, but 100% understand why he has done it.



Seems fair enough really. Just out of interest, how much does the board cost to run monthly?

Also what about StellingJ? Will he be excluded for having less than 100 posts?

You'll have to wade through the 7 other bunker threads on there to find it.

But yeah the bunker is hated.

Shall we play ITB lottery n take bets on who will slag me off first for this?

:-o happy to hear it's back to normal service if I've read this right. I do appreciate that admin must be a nightmare at times but I would have been absolutely gutted without my daily fix of the bunker. Can't get it at work as its a company laptop that blocks it so I log on at some weird times day and night just for read. Wouldn't dream of abusing someone just because I didn't agree but some of the banter is top grade comedy. THANKS to ALL MODERATORS.

There was a classic on there the other day from their Chinese correspondent . When in doubt, they just make shit up. :laugh:


Was there? I've been on holiday since the 20th.

What was that then? I only signed on to see the results on Saturday night.

I do everything on WeChat now. It's kerunt free.
