I have dabbled in the past with bits and bobs of forum posting ... Bladesmad (I also had another user name but can't for the life of me remember it) S24SU; the old one linked from the SUFC Official site .. Bladesunited? Thing is I used to work away a lot and had little access to the internet, but now I've got much more free time on my hands and wouldn't mind joining in with the Blades banter. I signed up for Jostein's forum (weareblades?) but, as I said in my OP, the pigs really spoilt that. After a few dozen posts I just packed in - can't do with keyboard warrior pigs. I can't get on with S24SU, lol the grammar, spelling and/or 'you have posted this on the wrong thread' police would do my nut in!
I've lurked about on here (on and off) for a while now and witnessed it's sad decline. It's a shame, because there used to be some very entertaining and interesting posts/discussions on here. Now all I see is, well what I put in my OP .... either pigs taking the pish; my fellow Blades giving them some back (but then it's just like the infant school play ground) or just meaningless mumblings between friends. Nothing wrong with the latter, don't get me wrong, but when there is little else of interest on the forum ... well, it's pointless any new posters joining.
Get rid of the pigs - or at the very least, control them and you will see new posters coming along with new view points, information, opinions etc .... you know, the type of thing most people would like to participate on a forum for!!
Up the Mighty Blades!!!
