Over the last month I've stopped visiting as often as I used to. The culture of the forum has changed since certain posters left, at least we used to find something to laugh about, even when there were hiccups on the pitch.

Personal opinion. It was a mistake to set up a separate forum from the Alternative after the demise of the so called official forum. I never understood why the bulk of fans, who populate this and the Alternative, needed two forums.
Some of the reasons at the tine I thought spurious and this has been born out. But its not life and death is it?

But its not life and death is it? Back to this again. "this has been born out". Certainly not IMO. We are going through a lull at the moment as a club - both on and off the pitch - and this is being reflected amongst the mood on the forums; hardly surprising. What it certainly doesn't do is prove the theory you've had all along; that Gaschat shouldn't exist. Which makes me wonder why you signed up?? Much a storm in a tea cup IMO. Certainly it's a shame that some posters are posting less (or not at all), but hopefully they will return shortly... in the same way that certain posters have an awful habit of doing as soon as things start going badly.

I think this forum has a doom like air about it and I think that has happened since the disappointment of losing the court case.

Gone Down hill since fans realise T boner was right all along! And not a WUM! Gone down hill since Tbone got his mum to start posting. Rather insensitive. My Mother died 12 years ago.

My mother died on July 1st 2003 at the Bristol Royal Infirmary. My Father passed away 13 September the following year. And my Brother left this earth on Nov 2 2014. I have one Sister who is alive at this time. SERIOUS enough for you?

Not really sure what your point is, anyway. Are you trying to have a problem coz I mentioned your mother in a light-hearted post?

Bit confused.
Am I meant to be inspiring posters?
I feel like Nick Higgs. I've put the funds in place, happy with the personnel - but why isn't it quite coming off?
Does anyone have any genuine suggestions as to what a mod/admin is supposed to do in order to iron out the issues above? Am I supposed to start wielding the ban hammer?

We've lost a few games and all the wannabe managers and Alan Hansens have come out to play

I shall tell you what has happened, it is actually very simple! For the first time in over a year we are having a bit of a rough patch on the pitch. That's it. End of story. It is hard to be all jokey and laughing when the very thing we are all ultimately here to talk about isn't going to plan. No need to panic or look for some sort of evil under belly creating negativity, it doesn't exist. We are simply having a rough patch as club. I think this is the main reason, but also there are certain posters who weren't to be seen at any point last season during the good times, yet they're back in numbers now starting multiple threads slagging off DC, certain players and anything and everything else. Definitely a shame that a lot of the humour and light heartedness has temporarily disappeared with some of the better (imo) members, but I'm sure it/they will be back. I am afraid there are a number of posters who (despite what they will tell you) absolutely are at their happiest when moaning. Therefore them suddenly reappearing is not so much a problem in itself, but rather a symptom of the main problem. Namely the fact that we are losing games again for the first time in a long time. We will turn this mini slump around, I have every faith of that, when we do they will slowly disappear again and this place will return to a happy go lucky playground where bad jokes and loose innuendos are the order of the day! I will warn you however, don't expect it to last! The same thing will happen again before too long, we will lose a game or two and they will be back. Just have to grin and bear it I am afraid. It has always been the way on all of the previous gas forums as well.

Light hearted to you it may be. Very insensitive to me though. An apology would suffice.

An apology would suffice. Just so we're clear; what is the apology to be for? Like if you could do a first draft "I'm sorry I ..." What do you want the end of that to look like?

Jesus we all lose our loved ones in the end, just because it's come chronologically for some before others doesn't make a difference. I have clashed with the über communist fargas on many occasions but he's offended because he made a joke about someone's mum? Must we all never mention relatives lest it offend? I'm sorry you've lost people t bone but not right to imply a f was being insensitive, you just have to accept a mistake graciously old chap.

Nothing to do with the Mods fanboy - I think that you all do a very good (often thankless) job on Gaschat. For me any joie de vivre - which is strangely synonymous with a lot of Rovers fans, given our history, almost seems to frowned upon here lately. Keep up the good work! UTG
