Saintsational vs Big Footy
A few times this week I’ve been forced to use Big Footy as I received incorrect permanent bans as Drake Huggins IP ban thingy.
Fortunately they resolved, but on BF I’ve noticed many ex SS posters there - all our technical issues are moving people across to BF amongst other things.
I still prefer SS over BF, but the only reason is I far prefer the old fashioned board layout here - BF is too confusing and colourful plus has ads. If the formats were the same as here, BF I reckon is far better and more active than here.
People on BF whinge it’s because of Simon that they have moved - yes, White Winmar and Plugger are over there but also plenty of ex regular SS posters who didn’t get banned.
How can we get SS up to some of it’s past glory again??

Re: Saintsational vs Big Footy
come to the observation
that in the main
this is a forum of oldtimers
our youngest set would be 30 +

then operate the site accordingly
but the days of the wildwest are over
nows its prizes for the mildest
no posters
no ship
its not that hard.

Re: Saintsational vs Big Footy
FWIW, I can't stand this place when people bicker.
Love debate and discussion, but the petty school yard tit for tat nonsense is just not worth it.
I enjoy it here these days.

Re: Saintsational vs Big Footy
Conflict also brings change though and sometimes for the better. History teaches that. An issue that is bubbling under the surface will always eventually lead to the surface. Its better to have that conflict occur early on in the piece.
But SC is right, this country has too much hippy ultra left PC BS these days.

Why childish conflict is considered necessary in that forum is beyond me.

I think the fact people jump down others throats and if you’re not 2 or 3 ITKs then you must be full of it.

Plus we are shaping humanity and the will of the cosmos on here RF! How dare you suggest otherwise. We are more than just a bunch of fellas past their prime talking crap about footy and St KFC.

The right seem to want to retain their right to be a jerk - whilst the left want being a jerk outlawed. However ironically, when too far left, they actually often act like jerks themselves trying to point out the right's jerkishness.The right point to the left for shutting down their free speech (AKA being a jerk), whereas ironically in reality all the left is doing is speaking freely about what they think of the right's comments and opinions.
Everyone has the right to free speech - but no one has the right to be free of judgement for saying s*** things. The two often get confused.
The right complain about being a 'nanny state' - then lock themselves up in their homes scared of African gangs that they've never even seen before, and scream blue murder about how soft the courts are.
The left complain about how rich people get away with too much stuff and that the laws should be tighter to stop rorting - then do cash jobs to avoid paying tax.
Summary: everyone is pretty much full of s*** and should just worry about their own backyard.

Re: Saintsational vs Big Footy
Essentially agree.
Most people are selective, dishonest (especially with themselves, obviously) and hypocritical.
Folk should get their own homes in order before they start pointing the finger.
Be like me, a perfect citizen.
I'm a template, mate. Walking template of perfection.
BTW:
Left v Right.

Must admit I spend more time over there these days just for weight of numbers and more value. It's more entertaining, plenty of humour, trade fortnight is great value.Its now far more active with a lot more discussion than here these days.

I go to BF for the Trade and Draft threads but SS has a lot more threads in general and the activity has been just as rampant as any other year ..... even if you take out P66
