Problems with The Ram Inn

[Trickytreesreds]

I believe the mad forums are going into total meltdown.
The Notts lads have walked away from theirs.
People have been permanently banned by admins for even talking about the alternative site. Even the mod who gave years of service when no one else would do it. Shocking

Have you been drinking?

No but given we are a select band of fans and a new season approaches, I thought that in the death throes of this site, making it pleasant for one and all might be a good idea.

That page has been derelict since 2023 with a handful of posts in 2 years.

Can't imagine the Notts site to be busy really. Get loads of ads on footymad and suspect dial up struggles with those.

"NOTTS" not Nottingham. As in County

I thought the issues preventing people logging in were working marvelously, until today 🤣

As in Notts F*r*st?

It is I believe a heinous crime for Forest fans to refer to Forest by the nomenclature Notts!!

This morning's error code.

Which is odd because isn't Notts County actually in the city but Forest is in the county of nottingham?

[SithHappens]

One does wonder on the longevity of these forums. Are ones for other clubs busy?

I suppose for the ram inn, and the other one MA was on that closed but can't remember it's name now, they struggle because of the dominance of dcfcfans.

Its V I T A L that MA remembers it. Still a banned word despite that forum having blown up several years ago

I see your memory retains its vi tality GP.

Speaks volumes that those responsible for this forum can spend so much time and effort with the frankly petty business of outlawing words like v*tal, s*x and t*en but apparently do sod all about all the many failings which constantly discourage use and communication.

That isn’t a dig at Andy btw, although I am critical of him in other ways. I have no idea how much if any financial reward is involved in either running footy mad or being a moderator but it is unclear how he got the role, why he wants to hang on to it and why, after all this time, we still only have one mod.

Imo the moderator bar was set by Ramondo and Bloomer and is now a poor imitation. The forum invariably worked, attracted more posters and people were suitably dealt with for breaking the rules.

Two mods would be both helpful for all and an improvement, again imo. MA has expressed a strong interest and who knows, he might actually have the determination to proverbially bang a few heads together at what passes for head office and get them to do their job for once.
