City Ownership

[jrb]

No I didn't. I wanted giddy young numpties to stop bumping it repeatedly. World of difference. Thankfully noone sung your silly song so it didn't matter.

Ohhh there's some poison dripping around this thread today.....it's like the good old days!

But thankfully 32,000 and 25,000 did the Poznan respectively.

After that we never heard a peep from you or your cheese posse on the matter.

See you at the Cheese Hamlet in the morning Dave.

I think I have sussed what the score is with this forum, its the talk sport business model. I assume the income of this forum is based upon advertising revenue, and that advertising revenue is presumably proportional to the number of visitors, number of clicks etc. So just like talk shite, the more controversial stuff on here, the more visitors and the more posts/clicks. So what you get is for instance:-

Mod number 1 de niro goes on and on about how crap Mancini is, people get pissed off and answer his posts, more people come in here etc

Mod number 2 damocles - lots of people in here at the moment due to City' success so let's get them more active by asking serious questions about the ethics of the owners of the Club - more controversy = more visitors = more adverising revenue

Friend of owner = tolmie - posts vague riddles in here, gets loads of people hooked (and I mean loads) - anyone having the temerity to doubt the supposed ITK status of tolmie gets dogs abuse; other friends of tolmie post how accurate tolmie's information is and so everyone believes he is ITK, hence more visitors, and more advertising revenue for Bluemooon

So tell me, which one of you is adrian durham and which one is ronnie fooking irani?

End of conspiracy theory

You know what, that is the only thing that can explain the behaviour of these "moderators". Even De Niro made a brief appearance in this thread earlier to decry it. Really hadnt thought about it in the talk sport model but it is the only explanation. Wonder if Dismals on the payroll too.

my understanding of the usual role of a forum moderator is that they are indeed there to moderate, such as if people's behaviour gets really out of hand, not to make 20k+ posts, often inflaming situations and creating controversial threads to get the visitor numbers up. I do agree with damocles' assertion that he is not here to be a cheerleader, but is he here to be a shit stirrer? - tbh I assume the answer to that question is yes. I think this thread is a clear example of such

The "moderators" on here are unusual.

Ah ha, gotcha. Flippant comment, very quickly posted in reply. He hadnt even mentioned your wages.

Conspiracy theories, you gotta love em eh Damo.

tell me this, have I misunderstood the raison d'etre of this website? Does Ric Turner do it as a charity or does he make money off it? Does that money come from advertising revenue or does it come from the cyber fairies? Does that revenue increase or decrease based on the number of site visitors and the number of posts/clicks?

I would imagine that Ric loses quite a bit of money every month from this site. Hosting costs money. Our hosting costs LOTS.

He loses so much paying ur wages.

Ah well, at least the next time some nobhead opposition fans sing "You're owned by terrorists..." we'll know they've been on Bluemoon for research purposes!

A response of ' You're gonna get your fuckin 'eds cut off ' will soon put paid to any of that nonsense.

 

[chesterguy]

Sorry to spoil everyone's 'fun' but I think you will find that the particular Mohammed in question is on the board at MCFC and has been for some time.

His name is amongst the six board members in the annual report and is also a member of the board of Etihad.

There are a lot of Sheiks in the Emirates and I presume that as Under-Secretary to the Crown Prince's Court, he probably also gets that honour.

Chill out - Sit back and enjoy the ride - Nothing to see here!

This has been addressed several times already, and Mohamed al Mazrouei has never been addressed anywhere as Sheikh as far as I can see.

By the way S04, is Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan the same as Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan?

WTF are you on about.... you really are a pompous ass. How the hell do you know how Mancini refers to our Chairman of Board of Directors. Because you havent seen it it hasn't happened.

Who are you to pontificate on what title Mancini refers to the leaders of our club. As I have mentioned the term Sheikh could be used to high ranking officials asnd so might be a term that Mancini felt was appropriate.

The problem is that doesnt sit with your desire for being an attention seeker

and 11 other mods. Don't forget them. Obviously, it's a structured system whereby Ric throws the wage packet at De Niro then we all have a game of crown green bowling to determine who he allows to have a pint out of it this month. Not quite got there yet, but my kneeling motion is really coming along and I'm hoping to win a Carling in the July tourney.

 

[NCMancs]

Damocles, sunshine, seemingly you are concerned about certain possible owners of our club and how that same ownership might (according to your research) be involved in human rights violations.
If you feel so badly why don't you fook off and support another club that suits your conscience.

And you don't know what you are talking about. Mohamed al Mazrouei isn't the Chairman of our Board, that's Khaldoon; al Mazruoei is a non-Executive Director. al Mazrouei is referred to respectfully in the same way as Khaldoon - His Excellency. Those called His Highness get the title of Sheikh in Abu Dhabi; also, there seems to be an age limit that he hasn't yet reached to qualify. Maybe S04 can clear this up for us.
