Think many of us become more miserable with age 😂 Speak for yourself, but think I’m getting mellower.. . It’s what everyone else thinks that matters 😉

Sometimes I worry about posters who just disappear rather than throwing their toys out. One such at the moment is Seanbrosely who last posted at 8.27 pm on 13th Dec then logged off and hasn’t been online since. His last post was :- Emailing Bergkamp's company reminds me of the time I emailed a video of one of Luke Rodgers' goals to the Irish FA after meeting Luke's uncle in Broseley and stumbling on the Irish connection as a result. Emailing videos in the era of dial up.
Hardly controversial has anyone seen Sean lately? Sean posts in the Facebook group. He’s moved out of Shropshire to the Wirral/Cheshire (?) I think it’s Sutton Weaver, a village between Frodsham and Runcorn.

I kept getting banned by pilchard I presume its me you are referring to with that abuse ? and yes, I just checked , and as you've been kind enough to join in the mud throwing it would only be fair for me to have a reply , back in 2010 when ' times were oh so much better on blue and amber ' funny how bad peoples memory is, it was so toxic we came up with the idea to have votes each month for the best and worst posts, and for the next month certain people would have , labels added to their profile ( I see Neil Salop still has one on his for best poster of he month ) I was a light hearted way of trying to improve things however on the back on this thread, you sent me a really nice pm blueandamber.proboards.com/thread/64669/best-posts-worstheres your pm Please **** off will you. If people dont like my Ophinion well its there problem. I know all the bad post votes were for my view on Haiti. Like I care anyway what you going to do ban me? woooooooooooooooo so yes, I banned you , and started a thread in the mods room stating so if you want me to read the contents of that thread and all the replies from other mods just say so

At the Cambridge game I ran into two semi-regular posters who haven’t posted in the last couple or so years. One has got a young family now and hasn’t got the time to devote as much to football, the other just finds the toxicity of the board unbearable and said the golden age of B&A was when there was less heavy handed moderation. He said he’d come back maybe if he felt that debates were allowed to flow without the sniping.
Make of that what you will.
Personally I only post these days every now and again because I have commitments other than football and sometimes when I feel drawn in to post on a thread I genuinely don’t feel it’s worth the hassle of knowing I might get my post hijacked. I remain deeply unhappy that when I posted a thread about Big Questions and Moore having my post tampered with and lampooned with additional commentary. I thought I’d take more of a step back from starting threads after that. I used to love doing polls and trying to start discussions.

For what it's worth, I'd keep doing everything you've done previously, do not let the minority conquer

I appreciate the efforts made to improve things on the board but I get the impression one or two do take things a little too seriously on here when it comes to opinions, disagreements and criticism from others. I mean that you had people demanding to know who had sniped them. But anyhow, I think the anniversary thread we had recently shows that there is a good few who have stuck with things from the start who are still here and so whilst others have come and gone, I think there will always be a good core of contributors who will keep things ticking over. For the time being anyhow...👍

Would this be a good time to enquire as to why I am continually being name checked in a targeted way?

Would this be a good time to enquire as to why I am continually being name checked in a targeted way? wow , a week and it's starting to bother you , come back in 20 years and tell me how you feel then , because if you feel like me right now after just a week of it then you are not in a good place , I've messaged you no end of times asking you to stop and you've ignored them all , if you carry on I'm going to step it up big time , try me
