    Getting beyond a joke now with these O/T threads and yes they are only put up for one reason only by certain threads.

    Why are posters vanishing?

    Can't see the problem.

    What's your problem? Don't read the frigging things; I don't read half the threads on here. I don't know if posters are vanishing or why but quite a few posters (particularly those who have left Rotherham) are interested in these nostalgia trips.

    Do you think that the demise of MillersMad is because of these O/T threads? I would say that posters are finding their information on other social media streams now after the implosion of MM a couple of years ago when its owners FootyMad were bought out and we had to endure the streams of adverts. Them trying to make us take out a £2 a month subscription didn't help and then finally they stopped anyone being able to read the site who had installed âddblôckers.

    There was a very poisiness point leading up to that when people were being abusive beyond anywhere near reasonable.

    We are left with what used to be a great site to one that's happily continuing in the vien most of us would like it to.

    That is apart from the people not allowing others start threads under the O/T rule without taking offence at who wrote it. To be quite honest it is petty to try and hound this off the board regardless of if it's in the rules or not.
    The reason O/T is written in the title is to alert users that that particular thread is not about football. It's not rocket science and it doesn't take much to get out of an O/T thread if anyone accidently clicks onto one.

    It's been mentioned by some higher up on the thread of the benefits for those of us that are no longer living in Rotherham. It can be a great source of information about the town and club that we come from and all support. To try and stop this is just wrong because it has been going on since the start of MillersMad and it has never looked like dying.

    I have met, dined and had some some great times with people that I have met through on here. People who I didn't and wouldn't have known bar for this site have become good friends at best and mates at worst.

    You take out of it what you can or want and you put into it as much or as little as you want or can.

    If you don't want to read anything other that the football stuff then don't press on the O/T subjects.

    Frog, you couldn't have put that any clearer.
