I think the last few posts sum up how this forum is going, it's OK having a bit of fun/banter but do we do to drop to this level?

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. Which posters are you referring to? IMO Hugo has been a big loss to the forum, for his contributions to the football related threads, his humour, and his ability to calm things down if posters were getting personal or going OTT on a subject. I Hate Football, Gregsgas, Brazzers, Bane and Rosco also went - although Rosco has now returned with an amended name. Some of those who don't seem to be posting as much recently include Quartermaster, JTS, Gacastrophy, Gasshole and Newton Abbot Gas. Sorry, I'm hopeless with names, so there are others who have either left or taken a sabatical, which don't spring to mind at the moment.

Haven't posted much as haven't been to a game yet! You can't comment on the football if you haven't seen it - surely?
Too much poor personal banter on here at the moment tho!
If it's not football related, then don't bother!!!

This all came to a head a couple of weeks ago and resulted in a few statements from mods regarding the slagging off of various individuals including the likes of RichHertford and Hugo. Those idiots who did so, know who they are and a few of them have even had the cheek to post on this very thread. Its' quite obvious to the normal and trusted posters who they are. The usual sequence of events is that a thread is started about something Rovers related and within a short time the thread is taken off topic by these idiots and results in them slagging off the genuine posters. As a regular user of the forum I have noted that the majority of these idiots are recently joined members and some have suddenly reappeared as our teams fortune has wained. The few regular posters who have been involved have added to the sh**e created by these people and are equally as responsible for the way the forum has spiralled downwards. Saw Hugo at the last home game and he was totally pi...d off with the way he was treated and has no intention of returning to the forum. I suggest the idiots on here do what Hugo is feeling and disappear to where they came from! Probably as many posters are fed up of posts like this as you are of anything anyone else has posted. I'm sorry but this whole claim of "slagging" of RichHertford is just babyish. Rich started threads to encourage people to give their opinion on his ground breaking thread so people did. Just because not all of those opinions were what he wanted doesn't mean there was anything nefarious about them. A grown man posted something for discussion on a public forum and it was discussed. To try to claim that as some sort of bullying rout is just as childish as you claim other posters to be.

I don't think this community is very good at appreciating others thoughts. 'IMO' gets used a lot but the point raised often wanders down an argument path because the opinion bit gets ignored.
There was a very bad spell of posters relentlessly trying to prove a point by dragging up old threads, that was tedious. The problem being that others felt inclined to do the same iot disprove the point at hand.
Many new members get ignored.
The forum struggles too look forwards, rather like our club! We still get many threads which include references to past managers, players, past form and stats. These references are attached to the here and now which I find odd.
Personally, I find the swing of 3 wins equalling promotion and 3 defeats equalling doom a little repetitive and boring.

Yes this forum does like a "so and so just scored for codswallop Utd, why do they always get better after leaving us? WYHHB?" Quickly followed by a dragging up of a thread from 1987 where somebody tentatively said so and so would reach potential. It is always all or nothing, balls out or overcoat on, hunky dory or world war 3. No inbeterweens.

But you can't simply write off history inc ex managers & players? Although those topics do seem to generate into slanging mathces/brownie points scoring. Problem is that the club never seems to learn from past mistakes so we keep reverting back to them, as an example during our relegation season we lacked pacy wingers and quality strikers, just what we seem to be lacking again at the moment?

Personally, I find the swing of 3 wins equalling promotion and 3 defeats equalling doom a little repetitive and boring. Agree with your first point, people do tend to miss bits of a post where posters say it' their opinion, i feel this is due to the way society has gone over the last few decades, someone reads a good post then one word jumps out, almost like a keyword trigger then all hell lets lose, sometimes amusing some not Second point is difficult as sometimes old threads need to be dragged up as the poster was correct all along, ie someone posted Darell would get us out of the conference, then a majority disagreed, so the thread came back to life, which was a good thing as it not only showed the poster was correct but was a good indicator to see how other posters stance on the subject had changed over time Happens in every forum, people sometimes overlook new posters, not maliciously but often innocently as maybe we are skim reading, the post we agree with etc, used to welcome all new posters but its something that i think has dropped off recently, also sometimes people are nervous to post on forums and when they dont get a reply think screw it and dont post anymore Tis our history, lots of people never experienced, the tote ,smash n grab, and other stuff like rod n emu singing, so it's good to reminisce, and give younger members a bit of club history, also good sometimes to look back and see how we did way back when, but people have to remember that the games and fans have changed since then last un erm yarp , feel similar the thing i find strange is how 4 threads by 4 different people can say the same thing ,be started 10 mins apart and it's random which one gets more posts (hope i explained that right)

If it's not football related, then don't bother!!! If the only threads posted were football related then, the site would lose a lot of its appeal to some, i think it's well balance, bit of pish taking here and there etc, just because you aint been able to get to a game, course you can comment if you haven't seen a game as everyone has an opinion, of stuff club related on and off the pitch, or even have a discussion over in general, but i do see where you are coming from regards some in depth comments on the team

So the list of things that shouldn't be allowed on a Bristol Rovers forum currently looks like this: - Jokes - Disagreement - The history of Bristol Rovers So the future of the forum looks like this: Poster 1 - "Bristol Rovers have a match fixture against Plymouth Argyle this Saturday". Poster 2 - "Yes. They do". Poster 3 - "I hope to attend this match". Poster 1 - "Please don't get too caught up in the future, Poster 3. It might never happen. We try to only focus on the knowable present here at GasChat". Poster 3 - "Sorry". Poster 2 - "Ground breaking".

I P people off in real life ( I don't really care ) I P people off on a forum ( I don't really care ). I don't think we can all be best chums all the time it just does not work like that, this modern idea that everyone MUST be friends is unworkable and naive. I dont deliberately want to P people off but it does happen in real life and on forums, some have posted to deliberately do it and now cry that they are being bullied, that really is pathetic.

Lots of views of this thread. Not really enough comments. Do enough care about gaschat to get involved? I don't do the personal stuff. Never had and never will do. I'm much happier that way. People must make their own choice on what they say and do. My view is that the thoughts that people have drive their behaviour and their attitude. We need a win to calm the fears on here!

Rich
Blimey...... You just got back from the Galapagos Islands? I find this a bizarre thread. Someone has stated (cant be bothered to troll back to identify whom) that there is not much going on with the club and hence there is not a lot to talk about.
Really? The vision of a new ground is in tatters The level of indebtedness is 4 to 5 times higher than 2008 We have been relegated out of the pro leagues and now struggling to re-establish ourselves We have borrowed a huge amount at Wonga interest rates We have no scouting system
Nothing to debate there then.
But I tell you what, lets guess the gate, or argue about Bert who did not make it in 1883.
Worst of all lets be offended if any of this is pointed out

Rich the forum infighting started before our recent run of poor results, I suggested on a previous thread when another poster quit perhaps the reason for the infighting was that we couldn't complain about the teams performance - I was clearly wrong on that count!! Although perhaps if posters get offended by the odd comment on here then a football forum isn't really the place for them?
