Party lines were great for nosying in on other peoples lives. Then there was the massive gamble of meeting your date outside Goldberg's on Gauze Street in Paisley (the official Paisley date meeting point) where you would line up with all the other gamblers at 7.30 on a Saturday night. Watching the poor sod next to you do the walk of shame after the 5th look at his watch. FYI I NEVER had to do that walk of shame (Obvs!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Q Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 22 hours ago, Squirrelhumper said: Mind the burds who got their tits out in Pandora's before a game about 10 years ago? I'm sure one of them posted on here. Pretty sure they were pals with Hawkeye and his boy, Richie? I knew them, worked in Stirling with one of them at that time. This place does feel like it is hanging on by its fingernails at the moment, even allowing for any 'not wanting to sound like your Dad talking about modern music' factors. As for the reasons why, most have probably been covered above. There have always been plenty of roasters on here, but in the past there were also more than enough good posters to make it worth while. Now the proportion of good guys to w@nks is such that it generally isn't worth bothering with. Too many just can't get past the club thing (although there has always been a good old fashioned clusterfck after a bad Aberdeen result against one of the teams they seem to particularly dislike) and almost any thread on AOB seems quickly to be overtaken by a few screechers who confuse smartarse abuse for debate.

PapofGlencoe Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 twitter and social media news items doesn't help either. people looked for places to vent.. Twitter and facebook groups largely does that job with in platform links to whatever you're talking about. ive started posting again as there's a lull in work. seems like a lot of regular posters have dissappeared. reekysporran, calmac, hawkeye, maybe they've all moved onto chalfronts st peter. There's generally a freefall in patter in the Tartan Army across the board. never used to be but seems that way now. used to get a laugh but it's all serious now. political events prob don't help.

iainmac1 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I don't think the referendum that people have mentioned as a reason has changed much. The board lost a lot of users well before that. The board was always very pro SNP and around elections times such as in 2007 it was heavily discussed with a huge pro SNP slant. And the percentage of unionists on here is tiny. How many unionist users left due to the referendum? I probably used the board more during the referendum as it as always good to get up to date info and there was alwyas a chat on any main issue or event. Someone used to give a good heads up of polls etc which I often found out about first via here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any poll that was done pre election was always massively in favour of The SNP. All the election threads back in the day were also very SNP slanted. Can't say I remember any popular threads supporting any other party but loads that were pro SNP. And on a similar theme come the announcement of the referendum there was only a tiny percebtage of unionists here anyway. The numbers 9f unionists that left would be miniscule.

I am genuinely interested to know who the zealots are and am simply asking you to name them. I am questioning your post that say its the Snp zealots who have killed this board when infact I can think of very few who are 'fanatical and uncompromising ' about the Snp. You think a handful of posters are to blame.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah was more the greetin' "name the zealots" tone. The threads about what you think is killing this board and, in my opinion, both the influx of the SNP nut huggers hihacking every single thread and the tone of any 'challenge' or 'dissent' (for want of a better phrase) toward that. If you want to question it feel free but Im fcked if I can be arsed debating it with the very people and in the very manner that I think is driving most people away. But aye, childish if you want it to be. Point is that hardly anyone, myself include, really cares anymore. If they did then this thread wouldnt exist.
