I think I'm a snob.  The word "you's" sends actual shivers down my spine.  There's really just no need for the 's', is there?

It just makes me think of really "Aussie" Aussies... all barby's and cork hats and stuff and not knowing any better/disregarding that fact that "you" itself can be used to describe more than one person.  It does not need to be pluralised.

[/pet peeve]

N-O confuses me how it has my name and avatar and details and whatever at the top of the page.  Whenever someone posts a link to there, I'm always like 'why are they linking to something about me? what have i done?? i don't even post on there!!'

I think there's some decent posters on their but they're are drowned out by the bairns in general.

All the decent ones have been bribed to stay by being given mod rights tbh.

I'm not a mod

or a decent poster...  


tbh i think its being drowned by too much compilation posting, graphics posting and repetitive threads.

Personally, I don't enjoy Newcastle-Online as much as I used to. Perhaps it's partly down to some of the influx of new posters. Maybe I've just seen all the topics too many times before, I don't know. I often find myself logging on simply to moderate and then I leave. I have less time these days as well so I don't really keep up with what's going on, on any of these boards.

Oooh, dissent

Nah.

I got like that as well and there will be a period where I don't bother with it for a while, like a few months back. I think you have to have a break from forums as they can be addictive and they can bog you down.

I'm going to have one from the whole site soon, I was meant to last week but got let down.

If you're feeling duty-bound to log on BTW Skeletor you shouldn't, you don't have to, take your break or whatever, man. You owe the forum or no-one nowt.

Anyway I'm off.

Alex, you're a canny bloke, but you're being an arse in my opinion. No need to slag Taylor27.

Chayton, Peasepud, Sheargol et al, no offence meant with my comments regarding this board. Some of it was tounge in cheek, but some of it is what I generally feel about this place, but overall, that's forum's for you. None are perfect, not N.O, not here. At least Toon fans have platforms to have their say and that's all that matters at the end of the day and for that, both forums are valuable entities.

Cheers

That's almost as life changing as when I discovered that "TB" in text speak is "text back".  Who knew?!  Actually, it's NOT that life changing.. but it's still useful.

Except I use that board so little that I've still not changed my avatar from Mr Bellamy, so I like that if I ever do go there, I'm confronted with a pic of him  

     I'm so hopeless....!

Haven't seen anything remotely interesting about Newcastle United from you, tbh.

and you are who exactly ?????

[shakermaker]

memeber of both,i use  N-O more because it's quicker,that one has more kids on,but this one is more klicky(didnt this one split away cos you all wanted to be together again?)and even SMB doesn't seem as good as it was.

maybe football forums,like lad mags and rear spoilers,CB radios and flares,have had their day ?

This is the footy forum equivalent of the peoples' front of Judea tbh.

BTW That reads bad, it reads as if all the mods came to us, some did, but not all of them and aye we did target mods who we thought were decent members to help us recover.

But we didn't bribe them. Begged aye, but no bribes.

Well, not many

Now my feelings are badly hurt 'cos I wasn't approached. Mind you, last year I did win the poll for the worst poster on the board.

Not only am I a shite poster, I'm not a decent member either.

[Gemmill]

HTT, untwist your knickers mate.

As for Taylor 27, he's been posting shit threads from day one - whether they're wonderful wind-ups or deadly serious, they're still crap.  If people want to comment on that then there's not much you can do about it - in fact, if he's such a legendary wind-up merchant I'm sure he'll love the fact that people are discussing what a twat he is.  Mission accomplished then surely?  And mate, you want to stop taking yourself so seriously - writing a 2-page long defence in response to what's been posted on here is a bit daft.

I've started posting on your board a bit more recently, but I know you're not daft, and you must be able to see what we're on about when we talk about how much shite you have to wade through to get a decent comment on anything - you can be three pages into a thread before anyone has actually written something that even resembles a sentence.  And tbh I don't care what the people in question think of what I say about them - I think calling people two-faced snides is a bit daft though, it's not like Alex (or I even) doesn't make it perfectly clear to someone's face when he thinks they're talking shite.  I know you've got some decent posters over there, and I'm pretty sure they know themselves that there's a lot of thickos that the place could do without.  I recommend a cull.

You've had your say on what you think of here though, and although I think you've made some decent points, I just don't think you "get" this place, but that's fine, I'm not bothered tbh.  Maybe I don't "get" your place either.

Anyway, is anyone up for some of this "clit-rubbing, let's all ejaculate together" stuff.  Sounds fun.

[Tom_NUFC]

I don't mind either site. If something doesn't interest me (on either site) I'll just ignore it. I can't be arsed with slagging people off or getting involved in stuff like that. What's the point?

Each to their own I reckon. Some people like this place, some like N-O, some like both. I don't see why there has to be a problem.

[Karate_Kuyt]

Passive reader and occasional poster on both forums, but I feel that the N-O one is going downhill rapidly, mainly due to a number of members slagging each other of at every chance they get and thereby completely ruining almost every decent thread (HTT, can something not be done about this?). Interesting posters and opinions on both forums though..

[Jusoda Kid]

HTT, stick to what you do best, making posts about the toon. I can't believe you've actually took the bait' 'again' and came on here spouting off the same old shite about my board's better than yours. I read your first post and that was it because every one after that was like fucking War and Peace and about as interesting.

Boring as fuck tbh

Nowt wrong with it IMO. It's a feature of the local dialect.

[MrBass]

Both forums are shite tbh

[Shearergol]

Is this a monthly thread?

Love the way HTT always tells us that this forum will die As long as Rob and Alex are around, it'll never die

Thanks for the comments about the forum looking nice, and being set up well. Think Craig and I are getting quite good at it now (we've got 6 in total )
