Makem moment: the BBS

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

On RTG, they are wondering why the Strawberry is so quiet and one pipes up that a lot of us are on this BBS. He knows how easily impressed the baboon-fanciers are and says he has the password and knows what goes on. He claims we all agree on everything and spend our whole day saying "Isn't Alan Shearer wonderful", "Oh yes". Now, whatever one may say about this BBS, surely it's not that we all agree with each other???

No we certainly don't all agree with each other!! we are usually quite polite though (I'm one of the notable exceptions to that rule!) and tend not to trample all over other people's opinions.....preferring reasoned argument to mud slinging....

The RTG certainly gets more traffic it appears but most of it isn't worth reading anyway. They are the same about Kevin Phillips, so I don't see how they can complain.

Traffic on RTG ? More like beedin gridlock. That must be just about the worst BBS currently running.

You wade through fourteen pages of garbage to read a two word posting that's no different from the title.

What a pile of crap, even if it wasn't polluted by makkem gibberish.

Never again.

If there's ever anything worth noting on there, I'll take it second hand via those of us with a stronger stomach than I have, ta very much.

and TDC88 deserves an award, one of them thinks he is being stalked by TDC88, which of course stands for "Third Division Champions 88"

A further thought on this. Why should anyone be arsed as to what Sunderland fans are up to?

I must admit Jonno, that thought has crossed my mind several times.
I did go there once, but regard it as I do Bombay - why on earth would anyone go there twice, willingly?
RTG is even worse than our Official Site bbs, which is really saying something.
