It is out of date?
Are there any people here? I did read somewhere that this site had become a joke.
There are several possible reasons for this situation.

Please continue...

Minty +1, Coddy plus many more couldn't conclude who had the largest pecker so all picked there balls up and went home.

A few Lefties remain.

Thanks. I don't need to.

That's really insightful.

There seems to be a larger number of, shall we say, psychologically challenged individuals appearing with alarming rate on these boards. Of course, it could also be the same person feeding different personalities.

Very strange.

And you are?

In that case, you might be the one who is paranoid.

We've all discovered we have a "life"

... wondering what the point of you starting this thread was?

Sure.

It is a very different place on here than it used to be.
There are less interesting topics and less interesting posters than of old.
Given the absence of the likes of tb, Minty, cod'ead and Gerry Chicken (or whatever his name is), et al, it makes this place a barren one.
I admire them in a way, I wish I could kick this in the head, but I enjoy going on the Doncaster RLFC site and this is a convenient place to come when there is nothing doing there.

It was really enjoyable recently with our Stanley, but when that stopped it was like a wasteland on here.
It is a quiet period I suppose.

Volume of traffic aside, it's a poorer place than it was.

The thing is, if those people no longer wish to debate on here , there is not much which can be done. It is absolutely their choice.



With regard to Stanley, as far as I am aware, he is free to post .... he is not however, free to disrupt every thread that it suits him to. And for the record, that has been decreed by a higher power than I.

That sounds like a conspiracy to me.

Its known as Administration (on this site). Wherever we go, someone will make the rules. There are people with much more authority than I on this site who make the rules here. I don't see it as a conspiracy.

Change is inevitable. People grow older and re-think their priorities. New technology and social trends are constantly shaping and re-shaping the landscape of communication.

As one of the two creators of this site who sketched out a rough working model on the back of a cigarette packet over a decade ago in The Oak Tree pub in Newton-le-Willows I think I'm in as good a position as any to draw conclusions.

Overall the RLFANS site continues to pull in massive amounts of traffic. I've never really bothered a great deal with statistics but I do know that we were close to overtaking Virgin Rail's website in terms of numbers three or four years ago.

I once thought Facebook would squash us flat but instead we seem to have reached a happy equilibrium. As older members leave to pursue new interests younger ones fill the holes.

As for individual forums - from the moment we first switched on traffic has waxed and waned. During the close-season especially conversation is always fairly sp. Insofar as the Sin Bin is concerned - sure, this is a relatively quiet period. Yes, some long-term members have left. But this isn't a problem specific only to this forum. You find similar trends on any popular message board.

To those who think things were somehow "better" a few years back - I'm afraid nostalgia is clouding your judgement. Sure, there were more people posting in the Sin Bin. But don't think for one moment it was a moonbat-free zone because it certainly wasn't. Trust me. I was there.

Person with nothing to say comes on a forum bemoaning that nothing much is being said.

At least we now have an example of irony for those who struggle to understand the word.

Bit of a 'whooosh' moment there methinks

Nail on head.. Muzzled.

Wow. RLFannies has its very own CONSPIRACY!

And why not. I always suspected that Wanderer was really a lizard. But a flock of admin sheeple, "muzzled" by the higher powers? Just wow.

If you tell us any more, will you have to kill us?

This place has become a playground for the Clique to flex their cyber muscles waging a bullying tactic agenda behind the destitute of vision in discreet behind the scenes of this forum. And all this is due, because a certain individual expressing his passion regarding a Geocentric viewpoint which has obviously caused harm and goes against the grain to this Cyber clique. proving this behaviour is nothing short of Cognitive Dissonance. Yes i've been threatened and barred from the Astronomy thread deleted posts so it seems like that Ficticious cartoon CGI thread only has one way traffic. Whatever happened to free speech. Fortunately theres a Ying and a Yang to all subjects of life in this world so why this ficticious thread gets preferential treatment only proves this undeniable conspiracy is alive and kicking and the Cyber police are condoning and conspiring to eradicate my alternative viewpoint,

With regards to Ferocious obsessive Aardon being rewarded moderator status just after a prejudiced bigoted remark just goes to show and prove the clique and conspiracy to what i'm dealing with here.

So yeah this place stinks of injustice, stinks of conspiracy, stinks of cliques, stinks of gagging orders, stinks of double standards and most of all stinks of prejudism and bigotry. This is exactly what the NWO has instilled into society they already have installed their one world religion in Heliocentrism without you even knowing, next its agenda 21 then one world monetary units, then micro chipping. Then last but not least One world government. 1984 is just round the corner, believe me.

So theres a great summary of this place, a place where Evil overpowers Good and the Truth is overshadowed by lies, bigotry and deceit.

Happy New Year

Surely we already went round that corner 31 - almost 32 - years ago?

And on that subject - where's my bleedin' hover-board?! I was promised flying cars and hover-boards, by both Michael J Fox *and* Tomorrow's World, yet I still have neither. It's typical of the establishment heliocentric overlords to keep me striving for something that I will never achieve, like a mindless drone - which weirdly, we actually do have.

It's a topsy-turvy world.

Please don't derail the thread its a yellow card offence now.

It's taken a while but I finally get Stan.

It's been a parody all along and I've fell for it. Well done Stanley. Your post at the top of the page was the give away. You put just a little too much emphasis on the ludicrous and the deliberate misspellings were just too perfect. The overall tone of paranoia was bang-on, but missing the opportunity of not mentioning RLFans Masonic overlords sealed the deal.

Once again, spot-on with the parody up until now. My hat's-off to you.
