There are some threads that start off quite interesting and worthwhile and then Southstandshrew, samtheshrew, crippen, blazingfury1992 et al turn up. It's then that the thread goes off on really petty tangents and p1$$es me off.
If you guys really dislike each other so much, why don't you arange to meet up and have a punch up? Last man/ boy standing is the winner and can continue to post on B&A, the rest of you can f**k off to shrewschat or the youth forum to continue arguing about which of you is the better supporter.
Or, you could just agree do differ and stop clogging up the board with your effin' bickering.
Only a few months ago this board was my first call whenever I got near a computer, now I can't even be bothered at all some days. Please sort these issues out for the sake of the future of this board.
FFS we're all 'supposed to be' on the same side. Let's back the club we all love and put a stop to the in-fighting.

Agree with alot you say, but this is a members board and they all have the right to have their say (apart from crippen who should be banned).
People will always disagree but some do it less elegantly than others.

Yes I agree Some people on this board such as SouthStandShrew and DrCrippen simply disgust me by making many threads go off topic

I understand your frustrations, however this is an open forum and so people have an opportunity to post their views whether they are agreed with or not. There are basic ground rules about abuse etc and Mods to remove nasty threads. I hope those posters who do like to take a pop at each other will take on board your points and fly a flag of truce. This board is so much better when there is good debate, feisty comments rather than acrimony, we can all disagree but do it in the right spirit guys.

People will always disagree but some do it less elegantly than others. Agreed, everyone has a right to express their opinion, but when it gets to the stage that 20+ posts on each thread are the same 2 or 3 people making snide and petty comments about/ to each other, it does start to grate as you try to continue looking for sensible posts amongst the drivel.

Firstly Neil, I think it’s incredibly unfair to list Sam amongst the more troublesome members. He has barely posted for weeks having been in Spain and always argues his opinions in a calm, concise and clear manner. You clearly have not done your research.
The suggestion of arranging a ‘punch up’ is laughably childish and I will treat it with the contempt it deserves. Plus I would absolutely batter the s**t out of SalopStu, it is hardly a fair fight.
I myself try to avoid ‘clogging up’ the board with petty disputes. Unfortunately, I am the victim of relentless STALKING and HARASSMENT by a multitude of B&A members including Blazingfury1992 and convicted football hooligan Don’t Believe The HYPE. If you bother to read the majority of my off-topic postings, the vast majority are made in self-defence. I do try to ignore the likes of SalopStu (and specifically did so on 4 occasions yesterday) but there comes a point where I cannot bite my tongue any longer.
I accept that I have played my part in B&A becoming a poor messageboard, but I genuinely feel that there are other much more culpable people.
What constructive ideas do you have to preserve the future of the forum? I would certainly be all ears.

"What ever happened to the Clique"
To be honest I am under strict orders not to tell from my brothers in the Clique.
However we last formally met at Matrons house to discuss whether Jamo should stand again as secretary, it was decided he could but not wear a skirt when Fingers suddenly farted.
As You can imagine no one was happy at all except Jaytee the Clique Jester (fairly official). Fingers was sent to the garden by Scooter where he disappeared looking for doc leaves.
Ant who is in charge of all matters Cliqueys then stated we better go underground as rumour has it Dan Brown is researching us for his new book "The non DaVinci Clique".
Pricey then decided to go home and build some traffic lights and Throbs said we were all saved whatever that means. Pilch suggested we close the meeting as Whitters had to go and keep some other secrets at the Prostar.
Mystics dad thanked everyone for coming and Indie put forward a motion that we are all sworn to secrecy about Clique Members.
So there you have it i'm sorry but I can't tell you.

What constructive ideas do you have to preserve the future of the forum? I would certainly be all ears. Sorry if my post upsets you or Sam, but you always seem to be there or thereabouts when these petty rows kick off and I've read a couple of threads today littered with posts by Sam, therefore you both got cited. I know that there are others that I've missed out, but everyone knows the posters that I am talking about. As for sorting it all out with a punch-up, I qualified that comment by suggesting a truce of some kind instead. I've been guilty of having arguments with many of the other posters on these boards, (including the admin once, but I'm too scared to cross him now) and have lost more than enough of them. I don't however feel the need to make snide comments about other people, their opinions or their level of support for the club. I don't think there is an easy answer to this problem, other than the posters in question calling a ceasefire and trying to agree to disagree on certain opinions and moving on. As I stated in the first post, I don't even come on here everyday now, which is a shame, because I used to like the banter. That doesn't seem to be here these days, it's just bickering and downright nastiness most of the time.

There is the same amount of sensible and witty stuff around on B&A as always but maybe we're paying the price of success? As the board membership has grown so has the amount of rubbish you have to wade through to get to the senisible stuff. Not surprisingly, as B&A has grown, it has lost a bit of its community-feel. It seems to me that previously B&A largely policed itself and mostly people knew where the boundaries were. Unfortunately, over this year there seems now increasing amounts of stuff which has to be formally moderated and people who say things online that they probably wouldn't dream of saying to person's face.
One of the main problems is people who simple think they have to post on every thread. I'd just encourage them to think before you post. It's not compulsory to post on every thread. There are several recent joiners on here who I'd be happy to see the back off but I retain the (possibly naive) hope that either they'll grow bored with B&A or simply pipe down over time.
