Several cliques developed on the board over the years which disrupted it during various periods, but things usually settled down again after a few months. However, in recent years the board has become an utter cesspit. Day after day, it is cluttered with absolute garbage which being posted by the same people over and over again, and it never has anything to do with CCFC, football or sport in general.
If these individuals continue to dominate the forum, it will lose more and more decent contributors. Absolutely no doubt about that. And if the cowards who post under multiple usernames are able to continue to wreck thread upon thread with their poisonous bile, the board is finished.
If CCMB is restricted to CCFC, football, sport and entertainment, it stands a chance of surviving and even thriving. But if it continues down the same path it's been travelling in recent years, it won't last much longer.
