Rather a rose tinted view in my opinion Smiffy. There was definitely some good chin wagging back then, but there was also a rather unpleasant racist element on here that went unchecked (if you want names I'll provide them privately). I've always thought that a messageboard without argument is a dead messageboard, but those arguments have to be within the rules.Quote:

I've given you my opinion but no vote as I'm on a mobile.
You know full well what I'm saying is true as we have spoken about this and you confirmed his lie.
I think you need to revoke my warning.
If you're banning me why are you doing it for the truth.its not baiting , what I've mentioned is fact and you know this as you were part of of the original discussion...
Remember bias not bias or whatever the motto is...
So just to confirm.laddo said he had been warned by you in private in replies to me and elite.
We asked you and you said he has never been warned in private..
So does that make laddo biased about the poll as hes never received a warning untill the oger day if true, and confirms hes a liar...
Ban me for yhd truth if you like but I think ig makes a mockery of your moderating and the poll
Yes there were issues (limited to a small number of posters) but I seem to remember there was a strong reaction from the majority of board members. The difference between then and now is if there was no football to talk about then we generally had some good topics of conversation and the camaraderie was at times biblical! Now if there is nothing football it becomes a slanging match between three or four posters.Quote:

No it doesn't change. The only difference between then and now is it used to be a few among many (and many topics) now it is a few regurgitating the same base argument and they take over everything it seems. Of course the old argument of "Don't look if you don't like" is valid but then what is the point of logging in?Quote:

You are, in my opinion, deliberately evading the point rather than missing it. The point is that none of us gives a monkey's about who said what etc. etc. and you keep on dragging up the same old tedious arguments and dragging me into them too.Quote:

Enjoy your break.
I don't know laddo. I have no connection with laddo. I am not influenced by laddo.Quote:

Both Pedro and laddo agreed to stop the nonsense on pain of ban. Pedro broke the agreement and is now temporarily banned.
Simples.
51 individuals have voted. 90% believe I am fair. and a similar majority think I am not strict enough.
I shall attempt to rectify the latter starting this evening. Thank you to all who chose to provide feedback, it is much appreciated.
The poll is now closed.
