It is so so sad when posters decide to leave this group. When any gasheads leave this group we should all look at ourselves. We owe it to this group to make it a community that it is safe to post in.
For my part, I hope none of my posts have ever led to a poster leaving this group. On occasions, I have said things that I have regretted. I’m really sorry if my words have ever affected people in a negative way.
We need to all work hard to be considerate and understanding to one another and build up this community. For some who live away like me, this is a link to the club that helps me feel involved.
We have a great bunch of fans, many are not on here but we should build up the active numbers on here showing the best side of Bristol Rovers.
The vast majority of fans on here are great posters and offer opinion, insight and interesting views. To only have 100 to 200 active posters is a measure of where we are now. We can do better.
If we make this an enjoyable place to be we will increase that number. Everyone of us should work to do that. If we don’t succeed, we will have a small forum for the few who will not represent the very best of Bristol Rovers.
All of us want Rovers to win matches and when we do on a consistent basis I’m certain the atmosphere and tone on here will improve.
This is a great forum with interesting characters, some don’t like my posts, some do but very few are offensive.
Can the silent majority help to create a better experience for all of us?
Let’s not lose anymore members, but seek to create a community on here that welcomes, engages and supports one another.
I hope this helps us all, including me, to reflect and build a community that people want to be part of.
All the very best….

All of us want Rovers to win matches and when we do on a consistent basis I’m certain the atmosphere and tone on here will improve. This is the crux of the situation right now. We’ve been poor for the last 18 months or arguably even as much as 36 months now and a lot of supporters are sick of it. We’re desperate for some green shoots and some positive off the field news. If we get this, then the forum will be a brighter place. Depending on if you count the Micky mouse cup we’re now unbeaten in 3. When was the last time we went on an unbeaten run that long, regardless of how short that is as a run? Hopefully it’s the start of us turning the corner. |

This is not a "Community" in any way other than we have a common interest, Bristol Rovers. Other than that it's quite possible that we have little else in common. |

It’s a forum with opinions that you either agree with or not , that’s the point of it. Posters come and go , Eric has left , big deal? Nah .

I’ve been a member here since it’s inception and a mod probably for more years than a regular member and my experience is that people come and go quite regularly.
This place can be quite an addictive place to come and it can sap a bit of time from a schedule. I had one poster ask me to ban him for 2 months a few months back as he had a work project on and didn’t want any distractions. A very noble move I thought.
Sometimes you need a break from here when the results are poor or there is a controversial situation surrounding the club where opinions are given.
Most posters that have left have come back after a sabbatical. If they don’t they have their reasons for doing so and we would always welcome them back.

And the Junp around words are:-
Jump Around
House of Pain
Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin
I came to win, battle me that's a sin
I won't ever slack up, punk you better back up
Try and play the role and yo the whole crew'll act up
Get up, stand up (c'mon!) see'mon throw your hands up
If you've got the feeling, jump across the ceiling
Muggs lifts a funk flow, someone's talking junk
Yo I bust him in the eye, and then I'll take the punk's hoe
Feelin', funkin', amps in the trunk and I got more rhymes
Than there's cops at a Dunkin' Donuts shop
Sho' nuff, I got props
From the kids on the hill plus my mom and my pops
I came to get down, I came to get down
So get out your seat and jump around!
Jump around!
Jump around!
Jump around!
Jump up, jump up and get down!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump!
I'll serve your ass like John McEnroe
If your girl steps up, I'm smacking the hoe
Word to your moms, I came to drop bombs
I got more rhymes than the Bible's got Psalms
And just like the Prodigal Son I've returned
Anyone stepping to me you'll get burned
'Cause I got lyrics, but you ain't got none
If you come to battle bring a shotgun!
But if you do you're a fool, 'cause I duel, to the death
Trying to step to me, you'll take your last breath
I got the skills, come get your fill
'Cause when I shoot the gift, I shoot to kill
I came to get down, I came to get down
So get out your seat and jump around!
Jump around!
Jump around!
Jump around!
Jump up, jump up and get down!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump!
I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig, 'cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a Terminator, like Arnold Schwarzanegger
Try to play me out like, as if my name was Sega
But I ain't going out like no punk bitch
Get used to one style and yo and I might switch
It up up and around, then buck buck you down
Put out your head and then you wake up in the Dawn of the Dead
I'm coming to get ya, I'm coming to get ya
Spitting out lyrics, homie I'll wet ya
I came to get down, I came to get down
So get out your seat and jump around!
Jump around!
Jump around!
Jump around!
Jump up, jump up and get down!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump!
Yo, this is dedicated to Joe "The Biter" Nicolo!
Grab your Bozack, punk!

I think maybe people who would be a tad unhappy for the club to promote a song with the words “ If your girl steps up, I'm smacking the hoe”

It used to feel like some sort of Community, for which I was grateful. I've received lots of support and advice regarding mental health, dementia and various other life events - sometimes it's easier to discuss things with people who are not directly connected to what's going on. I think it's a shame that some of the posts seem to have a spiteful undertone these days. |

This place doesn't sway away too much from any other community.
The equilibrium gets unbalanced from time to time but it usually reflects our fortunes on and sometimes off the pitch.
There's all sorts here including aggressive posters, but that reflects life and most communities where some are more assertive than others......so this place will appeal and not accordingly.
If folk genuinely have a problem with another poster(s), I don't understand why they just don't block them? Or ignore? It's simple enough..

I’ve not bothered posting recently because although I respect different views that people have, there are certain people on here all they want to do is slag posts off. I do like reading the forum and some of it can be quite funny but I’ll reserve my posts for sensible discussions.
