Re: Football forum changes. Have your say/add your suggestions.Agreed, I think the failure of that thread was more about how it was done than the general concept.(Original post by Colbert)
You were the first support of that thread ffs
'Football journalism' comes across as quite serious in nature, whereas 'blogging' is more user friendly imo
I reckon it's worth a shot at least, and then if it fails it fails.
Noticed on that thread that Hubert Poo is still subbed

Unlimited sub for former mods. -
Re: Football forum changes. Have your say/add your suggestions.Yeah, I supported it because it is a good idea, but in practice it just failed because people couldn't be bothered. If you guys get this idea to work then great, I enjoy reading blogs and stuff, but I just don't think it'll be around for more than a few weeks(Original post by Colbert)

Re: Football forum changes. Have your say/add your suggestions.
If I was to blog I'd post a link in the Utd soc. and that's it. Most of the other socs have their fair share of 'GTFO' fans, who I don't have time for, and I also think that anyone spouting that should be warned and informed that this is an open forum.
I think we could have a twitter feed..... -
Re: Football forum changes. Have your say/add your suggestions.Agreed on the warning point for that. I am sure there must be some sort of way of a mod implementing this. Perhaps point free for a month before moving it up.(Original post by Kevmeister)

A Twitter feed would be
Imagine if we 'trend'

Re: Football forum changes. Have your say/add your suggestions.I think we all can be, at times, like directly after matches..... but the blanket posts, like the latest in the Arsenal soc. that you commented on [(Original post by marcusmerehay)
I hate to admit I can be a little bit of a GTFO person at times, but only to certain people (including some of the Arsenal fans).
], are crap and need to reined in, imo.

you've given me there - are you agreeing with the way I responded, or criticising it? 
But yeah, so many people (who often know sodall) just post once a month after a team gets a bad result and have no respect for other fans. It grinds my gears. -
Re: Football forum changes. Have your say/add your suggestions.Agreeing, hence the 'thumbs up'.(Original post by marcusmerehay)

And it also coincides with 'big' matches.

Re: Football forum changes. Have your say/add your suggestions.
I wouldn't even be able to say who the 'head honchos' are in the Arsenal Soc any more.
Maybe myself, Overmars and Abiraleft who I'd say have the most sensible, measured opinions, along with a few more who are fairly new to the Soc (Skaiyote)
But then some post stuff that isn't always useful and is sometimes ridiculous.
I won't say who they are. -
Re: Football forum changes. Have your say/add your suggestions.
I'd quite like to see it put in action. I remember when the Ultimate Football Thread was the main hub for all match discussion. Then I come back to the forums after a little while and the thread is abandoned!
I don't see the point in posting in the societies unless you're a fan, the whole point of those is for supporters of the teams to have their own thread and discuss all things related to their team. It doesn't really invite debate from other supporters. Number of times I've stopped myself posting in one of societies as I felt my post would be construed as a deliberate wind up, even though it isn't.
I'm all up for big threads discussing the current fixtures

Also, I think Rich is still subbed because he is an ex-mod. Mods/ex-mods have lifetime subs.
