My point is that the quality of the FF has deteriorated even further since the introduction of the MF and IMO, this has more of a negative impact on attracting further revenue for Dave rather than the positive impact expected. More members should increase the level of debate but the first impression of visitors is the FF which, in general, is a mongfest.

[Coro]

Nah. There wasn't.

 

How would you know?

The FF was a mongfest before the creation of the MF, and you had a lot of people (and not just long term posters) who actually paid money that were considering fucking it off.

 

If they left, then Dave would just have been left with a bunch of mongs who had no intention of contributing to the site.

It's past the point of no return now though - close the MF and no way are the people that only really post there going to start wading through this torrent of shite again. For most of those people though, it was past the point of no return before the MF was created anyway.

 

I agree that the quality of the FF has deteriorated since the MF was created but I'd dispute that the MF is the cause of that - I think the FF just continued down the same trajectory it was headed along and at pretty much the same pace. I'm certainly not convinced that not creating the MF would have somehow dragged the FF back. Unfortunately many people are arseholes and the proportion of them on the FF is still probably lower than the proportion I see in other areas of my life.

 

I'm prepared to accept that the problem there may be my life though...

You thought we could be decent men, in an indecent time!

[Xherdan]

The thing that first attracted me to this site was the good humored debate and volume of traffic. Unfortunately the MF has the good humored debate but not a lot of traffic while the FF has a lot more traffic and most of the mongs. Personally I think a concerted effort from the MFers to change the path of the FF was the better option.

[TheHowieLama]

The MFer's, heh. That is a WTF on the FF. On the QT, IMO.

Istanbul changed it all. There was a huge influx of posters (the site crashed just after the final...).

 

Before Istanbul the WUMS or antoginists were part of the furniture.

 

saturday shopper, Dr Ahmed,phd, that bloke in NZ was a bit viscious and the golden shower.

 

Dancing Dave (RIP) also there was some epic banter.

 

The poster that was Djbril Cisse who kept re-registering and staring at least five threads every fifteen minutes. He went through aboot 10 usernames.

 

Anyway, the last few years it seems there's loads of WUM, everyone calling everyone a cunt and shameless bashing of players with constructive criticism.

 

But I do see progress!

 

No one has mentioned Rashid.

Bring back Momo.

stfu and gtfo

This. Momo would lay waste to the FF like an avenging God.

Golden days.

 

 

 

Edit - sorry to hear TK has packed it in, one of the good guys.

[Anubis]

I think the FF has taken it's natural course. As the years have progressed people who were banned on other sites have found TLW is one of the most tolerant and least modded sites on the internet, and so we've ended up with everybody elses trolls and goblins.

[Section_31]

I think people moan too much about the site and the ff to be honest. People act like the site is somehow there to entertain them, but don't actually contribute to trying to make the discussion any better, or post any decent threads, and when something is said that they don't approve of it's 'fuck this I'm off to the ff', or 'this place is getting worse'.

 

If more good posters actively contributed, actively posted more or created interesting threads then that'd be half the battle won.

 

If certain posters are annoying people they can be placed on ignore.

 

TK was one of my favourite posters way back when, and as close to a 'mate' as I could consider someone I'd never met, but in recent months he'd had the aura of a poster who no longer particularly cared either way. I don't think it was certain posters or the club's plight which pushed him over, he struck me as just bored plain and simple.

 

That's what happens when you've been on the site a long time though. The whole thing can get that air of groundhog day about it. But that's only natural.

 

For me though, moaning about the place is like moaning that everyone in the pub is chatting shit, while you're actually saying nothing yourself and often don't even buy a drink.

[The Guest]

I don't think the FF is that bad. I would rather have to go through a couple of pages of shite or the odd absolutely shite thread to find one or two good posts than read through 20 pages of absolute wankers toeing a party line wanking each other off.

 

It is easily the most unmodded LFC site and therefore you get the most contrasting views which is bound to lead to people getting called cunts etc.

I have no idea why but i laughed like fuck at this.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I like to think that TK has no time to come on here, because he's all loved-up in domestic bliss with the fit girl off the bus.

[zigackly]

When RiS left we all drank fine champagne and partied all weekend. Fucking gayers.

[kalasoma]

RiS hasn't left. I see him every once in a while, contributing knowledge, then floating off through the forum ether.

Oh yes he did. He had a thread and everything. Not my fault if he's come back.

Concurred.

[Michael Howard]

Maybe he just decided after all these years that he really ought to do some fuckin work for a change - and he deleted his account to remove the temptation to be drawn back in. He was a good egg TK . . . back in the day . . . .

[zigackly]

He told me a while back he was going to be a troll, but I think it just made him even angrier. I think Dirk going to Fenerbahce was the last straw.

 

A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.

 

He's gone, get over it.
