Gordon Urquhart Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Is it just me, or have many sensible posters left this site now? Where are Div (no chats with Brian these days?) Poz, Drew and other long term former posters? Everyone gone to P&B? Has Twitter etc, overtaken an 'old fashioned' forum like this? Is it just the numpties left, like me? Should we go too? Lot of questions, just wondering like.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aber 87 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Probably, this forum seems to entertain forumites only interested in how many posts they have! Footy discussions whether you agree or not are a thing of the past. Just put a one word answer after this and let your posts total go up. No debate, political discussion, difference of opinion... God forbid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for " no debate, political discussion, etc " have you seen the Threads in General Nonsense for the past 6 months regarding the Referendum and other things ? Brighten up our day Aber ?

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 It also comes down to how the team is performing on the Park and lets be honest that has not been great for a few seasons. If we went on a 6 game unbeaten run you would see a marked improvement on the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad saint 2 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) maybe the forum reflects the way the club is at this given time downhill ,and depressing , doom and gloom Edited October 28, 2014 by mad saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm just really busy at work at the moment, working ridiculous hours to try and get everything done, so not got a lot of time for chewing the fat about Saints. I do spend a lot of time on twitter on matchday and on updating the site at the weekend but during the week, too much other stuff going on so not so much. I think Twitter has definitely cut down our traffic a lot. If you want breaking news, it is one of the best sources of information around.

buddiecat Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 i know several people who dont post anymore,they have stated that it's always the same old boring shit from the same people, and that they got pissed off with people just disagreeing with anything and everything they have posted - without having good reason,and certain posters reply by using abuse instead of just adding their opinion, e.g. "your a daft cnut, your talking shite,you cant properly use punctuation or spell" and the so called "easily offended" who cry outrage at the slightest wee thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trolls seem to be the forum mainstays these days. I've had a couple of posters including one from arbroath who followed every post i made to try and get a rise.... I put it down to their recovery time between frenetic online masturbating sessions, and the low self esteem they have for themselves immediately afterwards.

Kemp Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 It is indeed difficult days for the forum. I propose we have a "No Bawbags" sub forum, which you need to pass an IQ test to enter, and posts of under 100 words are not accepted.
