Site For Sale

Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

Its a shame for others and I hope someone can take it on as by far the best site for BW.

I've not been on here for some time as I too have lost interest in football and tired of it now. Hope for those still interested that it all gets sorted to everyones satisfaction.

Whoever it is - could they fix it so that this thread doesn't stay red once someone else writes in it until you 'mark all read'.

Like it probably has now.

What's the latest? Christmas is coming so need to set aside some doubloons.
On a slight tangent, nipped in to sluffy's site and there are a number of high posters, obviously long time members who seem to crap on posters who disagree with them. Abuse is rife, not banter but real abuse. By comparison Natalie, also a member, is an angel. So his assertion that his site is cheap and fair and everyone gets respect is just a load of testicles, though it does appear to be cheap. I was invited to join to view pics and post but I didn't have the will power. 8)

Natalie? Do you mean Natasha? Or has she changed her name again. You say there are a number of "high posters" who are abusive - I've noticed when some of our posters get high, the abuse can fly around! Every site is different and probably reflects its members. I found Wanderer's Way had too much abuse and swearing, but some people like that kind of banter. It is also, I believe, self-evident that if the site administration doesn't moderate discussions and impose discipline, discussion will become - er - franker. So one can choose between a regulated site and an open one, and these options and colours in between tend to be available - pick the site that suits you. This said I have known Sluffy on and off for a long time (virtually speaking). I understand why our powers that be have found him annoying, but in the latest imbroglio he was far more sinned against than sinning when it came to abuse (check what was said by him and to him). For this reason I thought a permanent ban was an over-reaction on the part of site administration, but such things are not a question where my opinion is of value, so there wasn't much point in saying anything.

It seems to have a fair amount of postings, Hoboh. But also lots and lots of different sections and lots of the posts are one liners or even single word responses. However the quality didn't shine through so gave me no interest. And you're right, Monty, it was, is, Natasha. Seemed to be among her own. Oh, well, onwards and upwards. 8)

I found her really, really, tediously annoying. Sluffy is an old woman as well. If this site folded I would rather not bother going on a BWFC forum than go on that one with those two.

Just my personal opinion.

Just to clarify, I mean an actual woman. Or a portly 50 year old bloke in stockings and suspenders?

This has never been entirely clear and various theories have been advanced. Stinkythefrog or Sluffy would probably know but one is gone and one's well sped.

I seem to remember, from the dim and distant past on 606, the name Nick Green being mentioned. No idea whether it has any basis in fact.
