Fans from other clubs posting on here?
Its not a problem, as i quite like the opposing opinion or a different point of view on certain topics, as it gives 'debates' a more balnace and varied points.
But why do you do it, as i would never go on an opposing fan forum, as the general bias (And i know there is on here too) would do my nut in?
Viva Rivaldo and the rest, why does bluemoon appeal to you?
Well, I first came on here because I was bored with just contributing to a United forum (redcafe) and not getting many opposition fans' views (though you had the odd few, like newtonheathdave who was a fantastic poster on redcafe). It's always more fun when you get proper conflicting views - for example, I hate going down the pub and only hearing from my own team's fans, it's just a bit dull.
Quite a few people were hostile to me when I signed up here and said I was a United fan, which is understandable because of how many WUMs there must have been, but once I started talking football, it was fine. Even Damocles (who shafted me with his banning stick at least once) is now civil towards me, which is cool.
The reason I stayed here and keep on posting is because I genuinely enjoy it. There's some great characters on here, and it's fun to get into some of the discussions. Don't get me wrong, I love redcafe and have made lots of mates on there, but due to the nature of United and the international nature of the website, the ratio of actual Mancunians is lower than on here. I don't mind out of town fans in the slightest; if you love the club, you're fine, but sometimes you just wanna hear from a few more locals.
Plus, the transfer forum is mental, and makes great reading.

And I just realised I have nearly 1,000 posts in about 6 months. That's either really depressing, or rather impressive. Probably the former.
