Talkforum Survey - February 2016

[Zambo]

- Advertise it on places like Facebook & other forums?

- If you still have the email address of departed posters, drop them a line.

ie: Skeano
Goofyrat
Wykey
Jackarmy
Spice
Brutus

etc.

Seriously though, yeah I could live with that. Bring all those back. I think Spice was the only one banned, and that was a joke anyway.

Some of these must still be here under alternative guises

[Steve Hunt]

I very much doubt it, Del

[Petingo]

I very much doubt it, Del

One who most definitely posts under a new name is Wykey.

He retired that id and posts as The Rotary Club now.

No Pet, he doesn't. That was a deliberate wind-up by RC aimed at Zambo during a spat over on D&D.
They are not the same people.

[subsub]

I found the forum, if I recall correctly, by searching for "Adrian Durham wanker".

[delboy1983]

Brutus is on here.I can feel it

Perhaps things will change with Talksport 2, Pet.
I hardly listen to TS anymore, but when I joined this 'ere bailiwick, back in 2006, I listened a hell of a lot.

That's a very good point, Sub.

I don't listen at all now either, not even H&J.

I am spending more and more time listening to The Arrow. The lack of adverts & inane presenter ramblings is most refreshing.

Steve, these days I listen to:
- Clips of the Week
- Press Pass
- Rugby show (sometimes)
- Collymore and Saggers (sometimes)
- Georgie and Quinnie at weekends

But that's about it.
Back in the day, used to listen to:
- The Breakfast Show
- Durham
- Richard Kaufman
- King & Cass
- Parry & Townsend
- James Whale
- Mike Dickin and many more, too.

[delboy1983]

Sub give Holland and Don Hutchinson a listen on a Friday 1900-2200 as they preview the weekends football among other things.
Hutchinson especially is a decent listen with Holland being the good cop

Yes, I am hoping so, Sub.

And you are right about that era circa 2006......I tuned into every programme for at least a part of the time and for a period of a few years around that time, I never had music radio on in the car....it was all TS.

OK, will do, ta

Oh really? Do go on.

[DasBoot]

I'm sure I posted my opinions on this but can't for the life of me find it.

Don't think so. Just don't remember what was so inflammatory about the post in the first place.

Nothing has been moved/deleted, Notin.

Most err queer.

I had a post deleted last week that apparently wasn't deleted.

The most err queerest err queer.

Tommy Boyd, too - used to love his shows.
He was never fazed, even when a total lunatic would call in.

I bloody loved Human Zoo. Absolutely crackers.

[subsub]

That's why I have (relatively) high hopes for this new station.

My word that's awful, he should have stuck to The Wide Awake Club.

[Lou Grant]

Dear Notin made a post here and again referenced the forum being quiet:
https://www.talkforum.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... 15#p913703

So instead of on threads, why not have a forum members survey. Why not? Three simple questions:

1. Notin says the forum is quiet. Why is that?

2. What do you think can attract more posters?

3. What can improve the forum?

Answers on here are welcome or PM Mark or myself or even email [email protected]. Replies by midnight Sunday please. Thanks in advance

Let us see what the posters actually say.

1) Obvious - the forum is mainly staffed by idiots who spend all day arguing the toss over stuff that doesn't matter and most sane people are bored of it.

2) Enforce rules - people that have been perma banned multiple times are clearly incapable of changing their behaviour, instead of giving them a 2nd/3rd/4th chance etc. grow some balls and get rid permanently. Then try inviting back some of those posters who left due to the abuse they were getting.

3) Apart from the above - make all of the forum (apart from pandemonium) open for anyone to post in, whether a member or not. Enhance the talkSPORT area to include the new digital stations. Get the forum Twitter account blasting out regular posts inviting new members to come here - use some appropriate #s relating to the new stations when they launch and hopefully new blood will come.

Bin D&D for good. If people want to debate the news there are plenty of other places on the internet to do it. People who post in D&D are in a world of their own with fuckwittery from all sides of the political spectrum in endless circular arguments that go nowhere. The whole section is garbage and another reason why sane people probably take one look at this forum and then move on.

Overall, don't bend over backward to try and accommodate everyone and don't try to be reasonable all the time. Go with your gut feeling and run the place as a dictator would. People can fit in or bugger off elsewhere.

I don't expect many of my suggestions to be popular or necessarily acted upon - they are merely my personal opinions on what I would do.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

[DasBoot]

I'd like a list of all those "good" posters who have decided to leave because of the "abuse" they were getting.

This forum became shite AFTER the cuntings were stopped.

+1

They don't exist.

[Lord Notin Kwestion]

Almost positive. It's a shame, because I had some great ideas for improving the place.

Your socalled post was not deleted nor moved, Notin. It is a shame as posters would like to see your great ideas for improving the place.

I am calling you a lying cunt, Notin. There is/was no post. Surely you can remember your great ideas though? Please post them.

You did not post anything on this thread. You are lying to yourself, to your forum friends and sad scenes.

Perhaps I am wrong wibble but the abuse you have directed towards me is totally unwarranted but not unexpected.

This from a mod.

The Halcyon Days of Augustus and Brutus

But yeah, who are all these epic posters who left?

Don't see it meself, like.

Completely disagree, Lou.

Most of the regular posters on D&D do not get involved in any fuckwittery in that or any other section.

When was the last time Roy, Ralph, Hillman, m4rkb, The Tick, m4colin, Rotary, Kevin & myself got embroiled in any fuckwittery?
