It's like someone doing a big smelly poo the pavement outside your house. Sure, it's not directly effecting you, but the smell is there as you come and go, and its presence makes you suspect some of your neighbours are right bastards.

 

See, I don't like football. It's not like there's not already forums and inappropriately large sections of newspapers dedicated to it, but for some reason, we have to have two separate threads dedicated to it in the pinned section alone. And that's ignoring tournaments and the loser divisions threads.

 

But I just ignore it. I don't whine about it, I don't sneer at those that are into it. Those that are into it enjoy it, and they enjoy their discussion and more power to them.

 

So why doesn't that go both ways?

 

Because football's good.

Those games might be to whoever plays them. Problem with this place is too many cunts who think they are above it but keep posting. They should fuck off somewhere else. (Not calling you a cunt, no neck, not this time anyway!)

Don't get me wrong, I might not like those mafia games, but I actually find the threads quite useful.

The day Rupert Murdoch pays millions to broadcast Mike Castle's thrilling victories over Snake Plissken, I may concede the game worthy of a few threads on here. Until then, I'll continue to view it as Dungeons and Dragons without the saving grace of face to face socialising.

That's the standard for threads? Does this include film clubs?

Not having a dig at mike or his mafia game threads but the film club thread that loki and gladstone have done is pretty fucking useful to have around and helps you to see films ya might not have heard of or dismissed for whatever reason, imo it serves a far better purpose on the board than the mafia threads.

I'm not saying it's a bad thread. I'm just pointing out the hyperbole and double standard of the Rupert Murdoch point being the standard for threads being deemed worthy.

Its not all Mafia game related hate for Mike Castle though is it? I've never read one of those mafia threads, and I still think he is the only horse running in this race. He pretty much sums up white noise whenever he posts on anything.

 

Pretty much. Mind you, if he spends most of his time posting in those threads, at least he's not foisting his crap taste in everything on everyone in other actually good threads.

 

I just realised the glaring omission of TripleA from the nominees here. Done well for himself, hasn't he?

I don't think you're much of a gamer from memory so you probably wouldn't have seen it, but TripleA has written a lot of good stuff in the video games threads, particularly with his budget/old school gaming reviews.

 

So yeah, whatever you think of his posting in other respects he gets a pass there. You know, like how Mr Seven is a surly bitch, but knows stuff about films and rubbish music.

Yup. This is the overriding reason why I barely visit any more. All forums have them, but it seems that on this site they're what pass for good posters now.

The standard of posting the past year has really risen, I'd say. It's refreshing to see people who I can identify with having a good laugh and having accessible opinions as opposed to the pseudo intellectual shite which infects so many forums. Since Ian, PITCOS, Loki, Cleetus, Chilli Dog, Houchen and Gladstone have stepped up it's been fantastic here. It's bloody good to see people use a forum and talk on there as they'd talk in person and not be miserable shites. I'd far rather read someone on my base level talk about things like Graeme Hick, Egon Spengler or Tony Slattery than obscure computer game references. They're fucking good posters, and it's a fucking good thing that people like that make forums more accessible to the non-message board savvy. I've always liked a forum to be a place of light humorous and knowledgeable conversation. And they've made it that.

I think posting like you talk in real life gets maybe a bit overrated. We've had some fantastic revelations on this board over the years that I'm pretty sure people would never have said to the folks they know in real life.

 

I'd rather people were more honest and a bit geeky than coming in here putting on airs like they're real cool. You can save that shit for the real world, where you're trying to convince people you're not some saddo sat in your mum's basement watching wrestling.

 

You're a fine one to talk about obscure references anyway - it's a minor miracle that I've actually heard of two out of the three people you've mentioned in that post.

 

Seriously though, I'm not sure what you mean by 'message board savvy' and your pop at computer games references. It's just people talking about what they like. You like sportsmen from yesteryear, other people have other interests. It could all co-exist quite nicely if some people didn't mistakenly think their interests were much cooler than other people's, or even if you do think that then just let them get on with enjoying themselves cos it ain't hurting anyone.

 

Just to note - I'm not saying we should all be on some hippy shit. By all means take a pop at people. But when you're like a dog with a fucking bone and you keep banging on about the same thing, shit gets prettay dull.
