Oh please don't say that! This forum does kind of ebb and flow a bit, and it usually livens up after the end of the season. When I'm less stupidly busy I resolve to post more ;D Loy, dear, we are not anyone-versus-anyone-else here, are we? Otherwise you wouldn't be using this forum (unless you were vindictive or childish enough to try and sabotage it, which of course you're not)

i've begun to wonder, though, if the way "the net" has been evolving is gradually sidelining this type of general "broad brush" board as people spens more time on social notworking sites, perhaps similar to the way that Mrs Sultan and i tend to flick through the free Metro that Smalldude brings home and get our news and info through BBC World Service TV on Eutelsat most days rather than buying a copy of The Times and reading it in depth.. These days i have to think twice before starting a topic because as i don't social notwork, often i find that someone has either wittered it or there's been a facebog group about the subject for the past 25 years and consequently i'm the last one to find out about it. I was going to start a new topic about how i think that John Major is probably the most underrated PM we've ever had and chancellor Ken Clarke has put the economy in the best shape it's been in since before the First World War and in the forthcoming election we shouldn't jeopardise that by voting for this untried Blair guy who seems more spin then substance to me and his inexperienced shadow chancellor Brown who would more than likely lead the country into an economic crisis. However, i'm sure someone will tell me it's been done before

I do social network, but that has nothing to do with my absence from here.
TBH, for me, deep philosophical or political discussions take place round the table at a pub, not on a messageboard. Also, there's been an undertone of unpleasantness on here in the last few months.
I've also been somewhat immersed in the Conference forum - sticking to the football-type stuff in general. I guess I have a lot more in common with the folks on there now and can discuss teams that we're all familiar with.
That's not to say I don't drop in on a regular basis - I am a moderator after all - but I just haven't felt that I've been able to contribute much.
I've noticed that a number of former regulars don't post much on here now. It would be interesting to find out why.
As for Loy's very odd post, I wonder what the meaning behind that is? I know there's a bit of history but I find it bizarre that someone might possibly want this forum to fail. I really hope I'm mistaken.
Anyway, I'll try to contribute a bit more in future.

I don't do social networking. I'm far too anti-social for that. ;D
I do sometimes get sidetracked by other stuff for periods of time though.

I've been a bit busy lately, but I must admit I've been avoiding this place. It's not quite what it used to be, which I'd like to be able to put down to various reasons, but can't.
It's a shame really, as things seemed to be going so well after Roscoe started doing that thing that he does. The Terrace will bounce back though, as it tends to.
Has Loy given away his role in some kind of sinister agenda?

Has Loy given away his role in some kind of sinister agenda? Indeed I have found the most sinister action taken by the Tinpot Illuminati was the establishment of an authoritarian police force to shepherd the PRA at a time where our voices were begin to permeate to the members disenfranchised with the ingrained sense of cliqueism that has taken precedent. As someone who chooses not to use his registration name and someone who does not participate iin communications with forum members on social networking sites I am unable to speculate on the scurillous communications that seek to redress the arrival of the PRA. (unless you were vindictive or childish enough to try and sabotage it, which of course you're not) Do not bet any serious money on that. This movement was borne out of being partisan. The tanks are well and truly parked upon the lawn.

If this was a mainstream football forum such as the Non-League Football Forum then you would have been laughed off the place with your grandiose conspiracy theories and accusations of cliqueism.
This was a nice forum. Please stop your attempts to spoil it. I know one or two of the members in person, the rest are just people I casually get on with on here. That is not a clique, it's how a friendly place like this works. You are the first person to have a problem with it, and that's only because you've gone out of your way from day one to create a problem.

Agreed. Loy, please don't come on here if you're just going to try and stir up unpleasantness, tongue-in-cheek or otherwise. This is not the first time I have had to say this. If this were a "clique," I would have told you you weren't welcome on here, but we have had a great number of new members, all of whom have been welcomed. Furthermore, other forum users have treated you politely (despite sending me personal emails complaining about your posts), until you have severely tested their patience, and I have said more than once that you are welcome as long as you keep to the forum rules and do not deliberately try to stir things up. This will change unless this nonsense stops. Please consider this to be a warning.
I would rather handle this in private, but am unable to do so as you have not registered as a user. However, if you have anything to say on this matter, I will only respond to a direct email, and I will lock this thread if it continues on here. My email address is on my profile.
Thank you.

Just to correct you on two things there, I am indeed registered and no, your e-mail address is not available on your profile. Not that I have any intention of e-mailing you, anyway In answer to the original thread before the 'Police' cracked down my message of revolution, the real reason this place is dying on its arse was hit on the head by ifreakinrule: this place is a very poor in comparison to pyramid portal. Portal's most active forum outside the regulars was the UniBond which had new people joining it on a weekly basis, such clientele were actively washed away in the Tinpot rains which drowned the once mighty Portal.
