The Rangers boards have definitely lost some valued posters due to relentless nit picking, bickering and point scoring, and the boards are a lot less entertaining and balanced as a result.

Smid being a prime example of this.

Well said - I used to visit the site every day but got bored with the gay "bantz" bringing almost every post down.

Why? Because that stuff was funnier?

Genuine question-I’m just wondering what it is you’re happy with and not happy with on the site.

I don’t really contribute to all the other stuff you’ve mentioned, so think I’m fine to ask.

The old boards were more brutal and needed a thick skin ( down Pointy) at times but some great posters as said. On here can be a bit clubby to an extent but that happens when people socialise via nights out and charity football matches, etc. I am outside that circle and feels like it sometimes but just come on and give my tuppence worth .. I have crossed swords (again apologies Pointy) with one or two on here but water off a duck's back. I believe we have lost a couple of good bluenose posters whose posts I enjoyed and it's a real shame that they've gone

You chuck a mixture of people on an anonymous internet forum and people are going to laugh at, get angry at or sneer at things others in the group would disagree with.

That's life.

I try to go with the ebb and flow and yes some things or subjects make me cringe at times but I try to shrug it off as after all it is just that, an anonymous forum.

Then of course some of us have met others off the site at nights out and charity events. I certainly have and don't intend to stop albeit family and work make it less regular for me. You do build friendships. Nothing wrong with that at all. All I will say is that I've never once seen or heard a cross word ever used between posters despite what you may have envisaged them to be beforehand.

Which brings us back to the anonymity where people may well say things they wouldn't necessarily say face to face. It happens. I don't let it bother me. I've likely done it myself.

It goes without saying that when somneone knows someone else personally then the instinct is to defend or maybe join in and equally if you feel outside of a group then the accusations of clique and like will fly. Again means fwck all to me. I try to let people take me as they find me but what I would say is that it's easy to make assumptions about someone they've never met. I get it all the time. hey ho.

I've also been subjected to some pretty sheitey stuff previously trying to force me off the boards and thankfully rose above it and got some wonderful support (and a right few good laughs).

I've had the worst moments of my life a few years ago whereby certain posters rallied round at my lowest ever ebb. From people who I would never have guessed especially when I didn't say why I would be away. They just knew and acted. I will never forget that as long as I live.

I get multiple "attacks" every day on the politics thread. Some of it just childish abuse and some of it personal because I hold different views. If I've ever got things wrong I'll hold my hands up. If I don't think I'm wrong I'll argue until the other one loses the rag and then just laugh.

The next day all is forgotten as far as I'm concerned unless someone wants to continue. We move on. No grudges whatsoever.

The site means many things to many people. I enjoy it but a couple of times have taken a rest away for a week or two.

For some it's not the right media. I get that. Just ignore it or don't join is what I'd say.

Mentioning people by name and having threads derailed by personal vendetta's between people who don't even know each other is simply quite bizarre in my books.

I can't answer for anyone else but I think it will drive more people away for certain.

Sometimes I put it down to international week.

What's gotten into you pile of snowflakes ?!?

It's a forum !!! They are ten a penny

If you don't like this one or who posts on it , feck aff and find one you like
If you love this one too much to leave but don't like someone on it , filter them

I offer my sage advice freely !!

Not sure why you can't work it out for yourself ?

Posts about how shiete everything is on here etc ....feck aff .... honestly ....most of you are grown fecking men .
