Just had a Squizzy.

It asked who wore number 33 for us in 2014.

What an idiotic question.

Next time it asked who wore number 7 last year.

Why not easier questions related to 2015 or just general knowledge stuff, or those fancy letters or numbers.

If this site continues to be outdated we only see new posters such as pluggernovksi's and Joffrey's joining.

I'd say it's more to do with fan forums becoming a thing of the past. The uninitiated are more inclined to go with social media. Only the veterans continue posting on here.

That may be true, but why should we accelerate SS's demise by asking out-of-date questions?

facebook has a St Kilda Fan Forum.
This forum here is really good; but I wonder if the rapid access to info now enjoyed via social media
is contributing to the fall in popularity of traditional message boards.
I would suggest folks may use smartphones+ iPhones in preference to a PC, and FB and twitter are easy to use on those platforms.
Message Boards have their place, but I think the younger ones just want news hot-of-the-press, with their short attention spans.
For example, the old dude typing this message went looking for posts by "tony74" to see if he might have dropped some clues as to our delistings.
Youngies won't worry about anything older than 2 hours.

36 right?


In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there.

Yes but it wanted me to use a different email address which I didn't want to do

Sanintsational is the best site by miles , the dudes and girls on here know their stuff better than any social media or whatever the F*** it's called these days. Controversial , factual , opinionated , raw , stupid and splendid . It's the bomb its contemporary and witty not for the faint hearted . If you have trouble connecting you haven't tried hard enough.

All I'm saying is that the silly questions are designed to stop spam bots not genuine people wanting to sign up.

I had already forgotten that Gwilt was 33 last year. Does the site require first and last name? What if you misspell the name?

Plain silly and I'm sure it's prevented quite a few real people from signing up

'Feels' very very vanilla , to me nowadays.
... just a faint shadow of her former self.

Spontaneity petrified the need for Control crowd
... 'n their machinations executed ='d this Vanillaness creation.

It is what it is , i suppose ... more of the 1950's
with us or against us propaganda for the farmable commodities.
