How long have you been on this board?Originally Posted by Stanmore Bluebird
One of the main reasons it became so successful in the halcyon days of the early 2000's was because this was a single forum board which was an eclectic mix of football and many other topics.
Apart from football -
If you had a problem with your car you came on here.
If you wanted to give your views on heavy metal,rock or any form of music you came on here
To discuss politics you came on here
Etc etc
And there was a real sense of community on here.
In my view the board was all the better for it.
Things change of course, and there was a politics forum for years. I never agreed with this split but could understand the reasons why it happened.
It somehow morphed into the alternative.forum but if I recall correctly Mike intended this for politics and some of the more more extreme conspiracy theory type threads.
I don't think it was ever Mike's intention to turn this into a purely football board (If I am wrong Mike correct me).
If you don't want to read the non football posts don't read them.
It's not rocket science!
