Is there any chance of making the main board a football only section?
The main message board is just endless threads of bloody good band and other non Cardiff city related threads.
Maybe they can be posted in a general chat section?

It's a Cardiff City board though so maybe it should have it's own section.
Music and politics and so on post in another section..

Apparently there is already a politics section, it gives me nightmares just thinking about the stuff that gets said

Re: FAO Michael Morris

How about a "I Love Tan" section?

I've always preferred the non cardiff football threads

Yeah, and we didn't have a game over the weekend to moan about either, nothing on Boxing day either. Non football stuff always ramps up when there is no football, although i do prefer it being a mixture, That's real life, isn't it?

Re: FAO Michael Morris

Not this old chestnut again.

We've had this argument time and again over the years.

When I first discovered this board back in about 2002 one of its strengths to me ( and I think most of the posters of that time) was the eclectic mix of the board. We could discuss football but there were always good discussion on politics,music, tv, film etc etc plus io someone had some sort of query about, say, car repair, DIY they could often get an answer on here.

It was a real community, a refreshing change from the football only board of other sites .

Of course things have changed over the years. Many posters hav sadly passed on and others have drifted away. Many more have joined.

Throughout that time the board has maintained this eclectic mix, the only real variation being the creation of a welsh board and a separate pollitics board (which I have always been against with the exception of general election times, when it is perhaps justified).

I feel there is a much wider dscussion of matters if they are on the general board rather than just being the usual suspects.

If someone is not interested in a political debate or music discussion or whatever then the simply do not look at the thread, they are not usually hard to spot.

One thing I will say is that some of the debate, particularly on the political side, has sadly declined in quality over the years, too often descending into yah boo politics between left and right, ignoring the vast centre ground.and often leading to debate which is pretty facile. The current debate on cancel culture is an example of this.It is actually a very complex, nuanced subject but much of the debate does not reflect ths sadly.

Anyway,I am firmly in favour of the status quo (but please scrap the unnecessary politics board).

Nobody will post on that.
I don't know anyone who loves Tan do you?

Good post. I pretty much agree with most of it. One thing you did mention was a more definitive line on politics from various posters which can sweep aside the more centrist view. Do you think that has happened due to politics becoming that way over the past 10 or so years etc Therefore, the discussion that we see on here is representative of the Political situation that we now find ourselves in?

Re: FAO Michael Morris

This board is relatively low on content anyway these days compared to what it was. If it was just football threads you could just check once a week and be done with it.
