The list goes on, it is a football forum, not a political or anything else forum.

It is first and foremost a football site. We, as Baggies, should be able to Agee/disagree about Albion footie matters. Who gives a 4x about anything else (
unless it is health of another poster which is understandable) that we should fall out about.

It is simple make it a football related forum with a separate (what ever) for the other stuff.

Mick, you are now a Mod. Please use that in a positive way and help this forum survive where others fail.
It is more than surviving.

Perhaps someone can offer a list of all these “missing posters” for starters, a good number have simply passed away, others have possibly moved onto other forms of media like my younger friends seem to use.

If you think this site is failing I suggest you spend a bit of time looking through the other clubs on Footymad, most are dead or almost dead including Blues, Villa and Wolves.

Des has been a mod on here for many years, if he thinks things need changing then I’ll bow to his sage qualities.

One thing that always surprises me with things like forums is that nobody forces anyone to do anything.

If people don’t like the way it’s done they can decide to ignore a topic or ignore a forum, it doesn’t require censorship etc or rigidity in how posts are segregated.

It just requires self discipline and the ability to bite your tongue from time to time which I’ve increasingly tried to do.

In reality OB there’s very little nastiness on here now, if you think it’s bad you should’ve been around a decade ago when Wolves and Villa forums were in full swing! 🫣🤣
