There was once a fans forum on the club website that club directors used esp Dunford and Spencer. As the boards relationship with fans became less positive an alternative forum was set up. The official forum shut due to the board no longer wanting to police it and the alternative forum kept getting threatend with legal action so shut. New mods took it on and created the independant forum and they tended to be interested more in the Politics of Rovers. As the official forum shut some more lighthearted fans set this one up to talk about shagging animals mostly. I thought the AF/IF is still going strong? I think to be fair to the club the OF wasn't too heavily moderated, apart from the odd mod who occasionally got power crazy banning forum users. The af became the if :-) dunford did the banning

Gas chat = "would you have him back", someone's dodgy kettle, DC is the saviour, WTF is DC doing, and once upon a time a Riches bloody promo Bus.
IF = Sack the board, sack the board, sack the board, sod off to gaschat.
Official forum = Communist USSR Circa 1960

Okay, so I wasn't around to understand the history so please forgive my ignorance. I am confused about the forums past and present, so was hoping someone would be kind enough to answer my questions below. Feel free to add any other info/context that you feel is relevant. The other forum is "The Independent Forum". Is that because at one time there was a club run forum where freedom of speech was not allowed? If that one is "independent", is this one not independent? If this is not independent, who controls it? If this is independent, why are there two forums? Some of this thread might be worth a look if you're particularly interested. gaschat.co.uk/thread/6227/where-find-out-gaschat?page=1

There was an official forum. They banned dissenters. The dissenters made the Independent forum. The club shut the OF. We all went to the IF. Many of us were not made to feel particularly welcome by the IF regs. We made this forum. There are now 2 forums. The IF is the Guardian. Gaschat is the Sunday Sport. Room for both. Ah but before any of that was the Rivals network of forums, where you could hop from your own club's forum to that of any other club. Now that was fun and sorely missed!

I wasn't going to bite but had to take issue with this, I agree that there is a place for both forums and I use both. Accusing people who have a genuine interest in the way the club is run as being anti rovers is not very fair.

This forum is run by The Illuminati, who are actually 12 foot shape shifting lizards. David Icke told me, so it must be true. Kill him. Kill him now.

Not really my thing, but....if i was on a deserted island, i would much prefer a goat than a sheep. Their coats are so much softer and silkier, much nicer looking animal as well.Apparently quite affectionate.

I post on both but never knew about the disagreement. Mmm you learn things on here don't you? Reading the other posts about the IF being anti-board and anti-Rovers surprised me. Some, a few, are certainly but most just anti-incompetence and anti-mismanagement. Room for both IMO and both are good and both have good posters and both have some less good posters. Whatever, they all support Rovers (I think!!) and all have an opinion. ps I think they nearly all love the board now. UTG!

I didn't know any other forum existed other than the official one. Then it got closed down. I found the IF. I had a look. Registered and then was quickly overcome with a sense of impending doom, , , black cloud was drawing closer and closer. It didn't matter which thread I read that feeling remained. The more I read the closer and bigger the cloud became. Soon it was everywhere. Enveloping me in it'd darkness, a darkness I had never felt before. I felt the lifeforce draining from me, losing the will to go on. I was desperate for the overwhelming sadness to end. With the last of my energy, I read one more thread and there it was. A mention of gaschat, a small chink of light in the darkness. I crawled towards it , the light getting brighter, the darkness retreating, the warmth of that light was breathtaking. Birds sang, children played in the park, and life returned. Bright, happy, joyous light and life. I was saved. I that's pretty much the difference in the two forums to be honest.

There's only 1 thing wrong with this forum - and it is something that goes before the word STEAK - why has this parasite not been banned I just don't get it !!

Mean while back at the bears. Yes to Yogi, no to Booboo, that might be a bit scoutmasterish.
