I think Gordon ( Piston ) thought similarly.

To be fair, this place isn't the same as it used to be. That's not necessarily anybody's fault. Times change. It's not a surprise to see quite a few people drifting away.

How, in your opinion, it is different?

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I think it has changed but couldn’t really say why, people getting older maybe.

I though am still young at heart and pretty great. It’s my humility that helps.

Quality of the opinions shared and of debate is a big one. General community feel is different. People grow older and do other things, so again that's not a criticism it's just the natural flow of things, I guess. Who knows, maybe it has stayed the same and I'm the one who has changed. Maybe it's both. The world has certainly changed.

When you haven't posted regularly for a long time it's really difficult to get back into the swing of it, I don't think I'll ever post regularly again, but I'll always be around. I have never provided quality opinion on anything however.

He's hanging out on FB with his real mates.

The general community feel is still very good, in my opinion. Yes, there is bickering and occasional name-calling, but the good outweighs the bad. People show genuine concern for others, help and advice is asked for and offered, we have collections for those in need and TSOP seems boss.

 

Opinions are subjective. The quality of debate can still, at times, be decent. There’s always going to be plenty of repetition, though. People have their views and beliefs and as such are often unwilling to concede ground, meaning discussion goes round in circles.

 

People come and go. Unfortunately, a number of very good posters have either left altogether or contribute less frequently than they used to. There will be various reasons but I think it’s worth noting the popularity of Twitter, which is now far busier than internet message boards and forums.

Top bloke, gave me his ST for a year. 

 

Then when I couldn’t go to the games anymore due to Carly’s health he wouldn’t accept a penny for all the games I had been to.

Yeah, but on the other hand we fucked off that cunt silverlining.

I think what NV is saying is bring back JP and Major Tom.

JP was great.

 

His Gary Neville post was a thing of beauty.

I liked it when he said he thought Ronaldo was going to come here from Madrid.

I still love the forum like I love boobs, cheese and a good rum but not acknowledging it's change is like saying things are the same now as the 80s. It's got a lot more political, music and breakfast obsessed on the GF and repetition on the *f is higher than ever. Honestly if someone else mentions SteveO on the Evert*n thread again, I'll tell you word for word what they'll say. Overall the humour has swayed massively, probably suiting my age. 

 

I'll never find a remotely similar forum in terms of opinions I agree with that won't be expressed anywhere else. The forum has genuinely improved me as a person whilst simultaneously confirming how much of a cunt I am.

How many have been here long enough to remember Christian, Aaron Miller, Party Boy, SharQ, Bill, Gav, TrueRed etc from the early days in the GF?
