Stop being daft BaronGreenback. Stop grinding your axe and being part of the problem.

Not sure how anyone is 'forced' off a forum (other than suspended / banned).

It was clear that in 2006/7 the Giants had their best 2 seasons in 40+ years. So for many posters the best 2 years in their entire lives. Yet there were a group of posters who persistently b**ched about the club, certain players and Sharp in particular. This clique of negative fans seemed to get the hump when others pointed out that a CC Final and 5th in the table are actually achievements!

Lee, i didnt say i was necessarily making 2-3 friends a week i meant the people who came on the board made friends with other people off the board !
and as for being in a clique there wasnt one ! thats the point i'm making we all got to know each other through the board and welcomed other baord users to meet up before during and after games which doesnt seem to happen these days.

In my round about way, what im saying is the people i went to games with back then weren't made very welcome on here and it did seem very cliquey at the time, your saying it sucks now, im just pointing out it wasnt very good back then neither, people i know still dont post or bother looking now after 3-4 years cos off back then.

More things change, the more they stay the same

And it was massivly cliquey, if you didnt think it was, thats cos you were in the clique

But as Gahan says, the more things change...

Fair enough, maybe we have differing views then over time because back then to me was the best times .

FWIW i have never had any personal issues with anyone on these boards in 7 years or got involved in any vendettas etc against other users.
I am here for one thing only to share my views on Huddersfield Giants with other like minded people !!.

Quite right.

We probably are too soft, speaking for myself (i know you cant check) but i have no permanent bans to my name, couple have had temporary ones (and your close ) but none are permanently banned by me.

As someone said earlier some boards you cant say boo on so this is one of the more liberal ones, dont think the other 2 have banned many or im presuming id have had pm's saying they had.

Maybe it is time to get tough and start laying the "law" down a little, ive always tried to mod it thinking that the majority of us are adults and normally a pm or two does the trick rather than banning, it does help that i probably know or have met most posters on here so i can see how they intend their post to be other than just reading it and drawing the wrong conclusions.

As for the trolling, it goes on all forums (apart from wigan's ), where do you draw the line, no one is forced to reply to a troll, they normally go away if you dont bite, im probably as guilty as most for biting, i do get pm's asking me to ban them (not often i add) but if i did then it would be a lot duller.

As for lack of Huddersfield topics, if you think there are too few then start some, very rare i merge or lock a thread.

I personally think its better now but every now and again we have a bitchfest and a moan and we get these threads popping up, i got no problem with that, gets things out in the open.

Anyway roll on sunday and another win hopefully and a very good or bad day on here come monday

People expressed their opinions. What's wrong with that?

Ken Davy eventually expressed his opinion in a rather more forceful way.

With regard to meeting people, I've had quite a few ding-dongs with other posters - some vitriolic, some not. However, whenever I've met others from here they turn out to be really decent people. I still disagree with what some of them say, but I don't get as uptight about it.

I know Lee tried to organise a board 'do' once, I still think it's a good idea. [If it's in a pub, make sure it's got proper beer, not the stuff some of you morons drink! ]
