I'm absolutely sick of people announcing the death of this forum.

Post by Gosport Mark »

Suck it up and contribute, or don't! Simple. Stop fucking moaning. Stop remembering the contribution of past posters with rose tinted unreality. "We've lost great posters", "We're worse of without such and such". Ahhhhh. Grow the fuck up. Stop lamenting on what wen before. People were saying it when I joined 6 years ago, guess what people will be saying it in 6 years time. If your posting experience has become less fun, then fucking post something which will start discussion or debate. If your posting experience is lessened as there are fewer people calling each other penguins (one for the kids) then I suggest you have a long hard look at yourself. Maybe, just maybe, if you stop wallowing in your own melancholy and generate a bit of interest, NEW posters may just turn up.

Right, I've vented.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

There is really only one whining on about the forum being finished and dead. Just do what everyone does and ignore the cunt.

Is whining about whining worse than the actual whining?

Well you should know you support Aston Villa :lol:

ps this is not sour grapes because Villa are now towering above us :D

Although there is no one whining about whining, just some sound advice. Apart from that it was a stupid question.Gosport was dead on the mark (no pun intended).

Why not start a thread and open it to debate to find out? I suggest that you start with an opinion though, rather than fuck around with a rhetorical question.

I myself have been on this Forum for 10 years and those complaining have probably been just as long or longer and truth be told the forum has gone downhill, so rather than complain we should try to lift the conversation.

Sound words, GM. Moaners were moaning when I joined. And a happy new year to you as well.

Its generally acknowledged by those who know these things that the rot started in mid October the following year.

If you miss a couple of days on here it sure does take some time catching up on this 'dead' forum.
The new posts still stretches back several pages for just one day.
And it's still the best place for free speech on the net with common sense rather than trigger happy modding.
