    Is CCMB dying?

    Doesn’t seem as many posts on here anymore?

    Re: Is CCMB dying?

    Messageboards in general I think. Everyone just uses twitter or reddit these days.

    Too many posters who don't know how to debate without making it personal. Also becomes boring after a while sifting through the detritus of threads that start off promisingly and then just spiral into personal attacks.

    It's better off with quality than quantity.

    All the spats and bullshit can go on elsewhere on social media.

    There are a lot of groups and pages online so numbers are spread out. CCMB is a home for those who want to come and help each other out, have a moan or a rant if it's in context. And we are a bit of a family.

    not dying but less traffic these days

    no doubt if we're still in bottom 2 come xmas the calls for changing the manager will be result in more traffic on here or maybe if we win a game !

    It is a little familial even though I don’t think I know a single person on here. I don’t know how long I’ve actively posted (maybe 7 or 8 years?) but I do know that I made a clear choice between this and the ‘forum’ based on a longish period of lurking on both - over time I’m certain that was the right choice based on the general attitude of CCMB posters.

    I find the introduction of a new one utterly unnecessary and detrimental to all of the message boards (everyone suffers).

    There probably aren’t many new posters as someone pointed out so sharing potential users across 3 boards isn’t helpful to anyone. Did I read somewhere that one of the other boards was trying to raise money from posters to support the site? That seems totally unnecessary to me but if Mike (unlikely as that is) suggested it here I’d be happy to contribute because of the entertainment it’s provided for many years.

    I post in spurts but check in every day. It’s still varied enough for me but I have noticed we’re in a bit of a fallow period

    I didn’t know there even was another board, apart from ***** board that is. It is quiet on here but maybe the regulars are all gett7ng a bit older and don’t have as much time or inclination as did 20 years ago when I started posting on here as goats. It was very busy back then with all sorts going down in the chat room as Sam hammam appeared on the scene.

    Doubling up on posts is an excellent way of increasing traffic....

    All three main CCFC boards have their own personality and style - and i read and post on all of them.

    This is the one I come to first, though. Habit, familiarity and a community that I like most of the time.

    It's not dying, just going through a quiet period.

    I remember when Sam first appeared on the scene, my username was Sam Hammam. Some people thought it was him until Mike rumbled me and kicked me off. True story

    It seems that a lot of users left after the ads became overbearing. A lot of people use their phones instead of a laptop these days, and people have said they've had a gutsful accessing the board when doing so.

    I've used my phone on an occasion in the past and it was a nightmare in all fairness. I use my laptop and its fine as I use AdBlocker.

    Re: Is CCMB dying?

    The ads have always been a nightmare. The people that run the network think money before the punters who are using the service.

    Ad blocker is the only way forward really.

    The adblocker on my tablet has blocked 1,792,548 ads I'm not sure why people complain about ads on phones and tablets though, it's very simple to remedy.

    Yeah, I've been posting links about it for over a decade

    Not always so simple. I couldn't get an effective adblocker on my last phone (32 bit not 64 bit). I changed it at the start of the year and now no problem. But don't assume everyone has the same kit as you.

    I've been using the same adblocker for years on all kinds of devices. Android is Android. If you were using something else then more fool you! Anything besides Apple and Android is crap

    There is more than one adblocker available, and mine is stellar.

    Message boards are a thing of the past. I’d be surprised if there’s anyone under 25 on here.

    Umm... hello (I'm 20 ) but you are correct tbh - Facebook groups, Twitter and Reddit tend to have more participation

    The colonel’s site has taken its toll on this messageboard. When I first posted on here 7 or 8 years ago it was buzzing. It’s much quieter now which is such a shame. I have felt more at home on here than any other site. So I will always post on here until it comes to an end.
