Re: And it's goodnight from me

Going on this board requires an eye for what’s actually relevant or interesting. I find it pretty easy to just filter out all the arguing or politics chat or just general weird stuff and find all the football chat.

Would be a real shame to lose your posts though Eric :( hope you can reconsider ��

indeed

Spot on, it’s not difficult.

Re: And it's goodnight from me

I don't normally get involved it " goodbye posts " , when I wanted a break, I ( thought I had ) sent a message to Mike and said im taking a break, as if I announced I would be going I would get loads of people having a party and celebrating

But in Eric's case I will, ive had a few interactions with him, recently ive found his posts definiatly 1/2 empty, but we have a good % of negative people on here, a few weeks back someone posted about " protests at the next game " which really tickled me, maybe its the recent few years, but city fans have certainly got alot of negative ( and I find the welsh a fairly downbeat lot anyway, for the record im welsh ) but I honestly think this place will be worse off without him, his stat's are interesting and will be missed

Maybe Eric spends more time on the Alt forum, I dont, its got a fair few loons who bang the same drum with the same repetitive beat, personally I find this main forum fairly controlled now, Mike or Myself occasionally deletes the odd post that gets out of hand, its been a while since a load of posts have had to be deleted, which has to be a good sign, maybe this place isnt a " utter cesspit " after all


I will sat=y though, This place has always had a " pack mentality " , I should know that, as lets be honest, I should have jacked in here a long time ago, but you learn to take what you want from the place, a bit of a laugh and some city news, you adapt on what you use this place for, personally for me, I dont post like I did, people found my posts boring, thats fine, so maybe Eric can do the same, maybe avoid the loons forum

Dembe has a point above, people hold grudges here far too long, its all rather a little sad, but most social media places are the same, safety from behind the screen I guess

Ive always had the opinion to treat this place like your friendly bar, where everyone knows your name

I think there are several packs and a lot of lone wolves who just speak their minds.

There is an 'alt right and conspiracy pack', there is a 'political left' pack, there is a 'happy clappy pack' (dml1954 is on his own), and there is a bigger 'we are shit' pack.... and several others.

There is also the 'I am a victim' pack that used to be just LOM but has grown a bit recently.

We don't have to agree with each other - or like each other - but there is also a CCMB super pack that represents all corners of this weird community and is usually amazingly helpful and supportive whenever anyone is in pain or trouble - regardless of what other board grouping they usually inhabit.

Re: And it's goodnight from me

Disappointed to see you go Steve. One of my favourite posters .
There will be no one left by the end of this thread.

Maybe just me and Sludge?

I'm not going anywhere, old fruit. It's Eric who is orf.

Re: And it's goodnight from me

Sorry to see you leaving, Eric. I liked the stats stuff and your departure takes away something that was good about the board. It's fair to say it's gone from something I contribute to on a daily basis, to something I sometimes rememeber to check. I suspect it's because there are so many more forums than there were when I was a regular on here (late 1990s, early 00s), but it's just a lot quieter on here with seemingly fewer users. It's the same dozen or so posters posting all the time. Not that I have an issue with any of them, but it just gets repetative.

All the best.

Re: And it's goodnight from me

I would be interested to know of anyone who has given up posting on here on my behalf but if you know any such person, please do tell

to be honest TBG, I stopped posting regularly when I found some of the long words you use intimidating, I would find myself running a finger underneath the words on the screen while I spelt them out slowly in digestible increments.

I also never came to terms with you calling me a 'sausalito' (little willow)

I'm sure TBG must have Spaghetti Letters for breakfast sometimes
However, he's a good poster and always polite.

That is an excellent post Jon. Sometimes it's a bit like brothers fighting but deep down there is a common bond that holds them together.

It is a pity to see Eric go but I suspect he will return to the fold in the not too distant future. His input will certainly be missed by me.

Re: And it's goodnight from me

The best thing to do is just have a break innit ?

If that's 6 months or permanent then whatever

Or come back as a woman after going through an op
