The forum was split into different categories. The transfer forum is now full of stuff that has nothing to do with transfers.

I'm having a busy night at work and trying to keep my eye on what is going on is really difficult when people seem to be making a new thread in the transfer forum every minute or so. Come on, please. Either it's transfer news or it's not.
 
I actually agree with mammutly on this. We've got blokes starting threads that contain nothing more than ill-informed opinions, repeating the same thing that's been done to death, crap about "I have this concern" and "I just had a thought"...I suppose they've confused everyone with someone who gives a toss. It's pretty unreal, blokes with 3 posts under their belts starting threads containing three lines or so of shite, blokes acting all cool and hard, writing shit like, "I dunno about that....what about you?"...as though we're all fucking psychic and know he's referring to some bollox on SSN from 30 seconds ago...dicks starting threads talking about something specific but being too fucking lazy / stupid to put a link, or even copy and past a few lines to give us a feel for whatever it is they think is so important it's just crying out for THEM to tell us all about it.

Tell us how you really feel Brucie :)
...though even as a relative newcomer on here, I do agree with you.

I fucking hate it when someone complains about what other people want to say...........oh....

I'm just popping next door......I won't hurry back.
 
Well look, I'm hardly a veteran of this forum (though I read it for a year before I signed up), and I can certainly talk rubbish with the best of them, but the site (especially the transfer forum) is going to hell (despite the mods best efforts), as no one seems to want to practice any form of self-governance. The transfer forum (which was created not long ago) is becoming a joke, it's almost impossible to use. It's as though some blokes want their fifteen minutes of fame, they want their username up for all to see at a time when this forum must be getting as many hits as any in the world.

There have been some really outstanding posts, some real quality material, great informed opinion, recitations of facts, and a few cracking rants in the last few days, the kind of thing that deserves cutting and pasting in a "best of" sticky thread (controlled by the mods, i.e. locked to all but the mods), as they are just getting lost in the blather and the stupid, pointless, repetative mere opinion threads.

I'll just take S04's recent contributions to our sum of knowledge about our owners and their finances as an example. Really great work he did, it deserves a place up front for all to access at a moments notice. That piece by Samuel would be something else I'd toss right in a thread like that as well.

You'll probably miss the whole fucking POINT again if you did.

Most of them are asleep. I'm the only one in a different timezone, and until Ric starts paying, I have other things to do.
We can't be here all the time, I'm sorry.

It really must be hard to mod all the posts that are flying around everywhere at the moment. To organize threads and forums to everyone's liking - constantly, no less - would pretty much take a full-time commitment. I can't really give any mod a hard time for the way threads have spiralled and ammassed recently, unless of course they receive due payment like Wheelsy states. Given our new found wealth and transfer links, there's bout to be tons of daft and eager newcomers going post crazy.....hopefully it will die down come february and decorum will return.
