hey forum
Long time user, who opted to sit out for a while as the forum was a little bit of a sad place for a while. Opinions are one of two things here, depending on who airs them, gospel or pure unadulterated sh!t. Sadly the two brigades of each side of opinion bang merrily against each other thread after thread.
I have made a heap of really good aquaintances through this site and although not an angel myself, howdy OLB!!, it saddens me to see the efforts of a young bloke who took it upon himself to build a place where likeminded people could get together and share a common love (curse?).
Sure there are educated footy folk, there are fans and there are fanatics, altogether it should form a nice mix, sadly it seems that in returning to this place you still have the same old arguments, repetitive thread stalking and abuse that encouraged my little holiday. Amazingly I used to log on to this place fifty times a day to see if there was anything Saintly as being stuck interstate, we don't get to training or see players sitting around cafes or walking into our shops. But I really didn't think it would be so easy to just leave and not give a damn anymore, amazingly its much more relaxing to just log onto real footy or superfooty and catch the occasional tidbit.
This forum has had some amazingly great, knowledgeable, humorous, generous and wonderful people, sadly as time goes on they've lost the need to join us, even the great man Damo himself is but an infrequent user. Kudos to the mods for trying to keep this place running, but hey ask yourself after all this time is it really worth the time, effort and money it takes just to keep this sad old status quo on life support? The blood that once coursed proudly through this place seems to be a mere trickle of what it was. Should someone not throw that switch?

I'm sorry, you've gone through all the trouble to find out what this actually says and it really is quite insignificant.

Bungiton.......the arguments are only frustrating if you choose to take part in them.....
Ocassionally I get sucked in, but try not to get too personal......ever since one clown spoke about my family I decided to opt out when someone gets too much...
still a fun place to be, just need to be selective......

yeah it's just the wading through pages of abuse and quotes mate, never took myself seriously at all, as most that remember could attest to. yeah it is a footy forum, nothing serious about it at all, just a group of pimply kids chasing around a bladder of pig skin inflated by air......... hmmm the universe is plentifulplugger66 wrote:Been on the forum 2 years and nothing has changed in that time.

Still visit here once and a while, it's these "pimply kids" that are the future of this site and they will mature...
I don't know if you realise that the posters on this site now pay for this site existence , so it's really up to the posters that are here to determine if this site goes under or not....
The so called plug will be pulled if people don't contribute to this site...
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
Greetings Bungi....jolly nice to see you around these parts again. Pull up a chair and stay a while...its not such a bad place.
Us mods are doing our best...contrary to some opinion
but sometimes I think we'd rather be doing something easier..like uniting Korea or bringing peace to the Middle East.
Note to the uninitiated, this fella is one the funniest people you could ever spend an afternoon at the football with...the comedy gold just flows from his mouth

Try not to take it too seriously out there mate, but agree the old days were better. I don't post a lot and never have but like reading some of the stuff that gets posted on here. Certainly not one for the 5+ page threads that turn into a keyboard warriors warzone. Too much of that...
Lately it has been less enjoyable, but hopefully the wheel will turn again. Gee, wouldn't a premiership just straighten it all out!!

I wasn't here in the "old days" but I've grown to love this place. I like that we can all air our views, agree or disagree with others, gain a new perspective and learn something new now and again.
It can be entertaining (and somewhat voyeuristic) to follow the debates of some posters.
And of course, remember if things get to frustrating or offensive, escape is merely a mouse click away!

Hi Bungi..good to see you back in town mate
I have been here since 03[joining date shown was after it crashed and was restored]
I have to admit in the early days I tended to get too easily sucked into arguements that probably bored the shyte out of everyone like the personal back and forwards insults does me now
These days I just pop in and out [still the best source of early,inside info on the mighty Saints] and try not take it too seriously..
True that we have lost some great posters [Moose and bigred etc]over the years but still plenty of quality here amongst the crap I believe...
And we still occassionally meet before games at Livewire where I have met Barks,Joffa,Father Eastern,saint66au,Thomas,Dal Santo's girl,Saint Luke,Snoopygirl,Haveys Diciple,Zippy,Rogerwa ,The jigging saint whose name I am proud to say I actually coined in a post after seeing him on tv doing his victory jig
They are all great company and I hope to catch up with many of them again in a few weeks.
Thought I remember meeting you at the great western a few years ago or is that one too many crownies...
Anyway mate its all essentially good and I would love to see you post more often...
Your wit and intelligent posts have been missed ...
Flicking the switch to this place would be unthinkable...
Erratic,dysfunctional,delusional,immature etc etc but in the end its family
And you take everyone as they are...
Welcome back bro![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)

Piss off Bungi you woos.
harden the f### up
Was thinking about where you were the other day - glad you are still in the land of the living.
I have turned over a new leaf. The footy season is here and I take every post by any member here on its value (even yours plugger66
).
I mean this conspirarcy rubbish and pissing contests are tiresome.
There is only really one troll and thread jacker who seems to be allowed to wreck threads with impunity.
He has chased away many a good poster - yourself Moose JeffDunne Savatage Bigred and many others.
When the mods grow a pair and ip ban the abusive trolling thread jacker will be a great day for SS.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

JB..reckon youve changed your tune? ..when JeffDunne left a while back, unless Im very much mistaken you were firmly in the mods corner, telling all and sundry to lighten up and give us all a break.
Now..cos it appears that because you arent getting your own way and someone you want banned isnt...hes a "valuable poster" and the mods need to "grow a pair"???
Apologies if my memory has cheated me or that Ive misinterpreted anything youve meant...but thats how it is coming across to me
