Big Footy vs This thing

Post: # 1789306Post saintspremiers »

I’m warning myself off this North Korean forum.

BF is so much better nowadays than ever before.

A lot more posts than here and most regular SS posters are there now.

I encourage anyone on here that hasn’t been there much/lately to ditch this forum and it’s associated issues/lack of moderators/inability to find more than one moderator (wonder why that is eh??!!)

Speaking from experience, I’d say the reason there is only one moderator, is having to deal with idiots everyday. Most of which can now be found at Bigfooty.

Both forums have their pros and cons.

The problem I have with BF is that there are so many posts and threads that, unless you're retired or don't have a job, the average Joe has got no hope of catching up on everything - if you also have a life.

At least here you can catch up on most threads.

Big footy is crap. Always has been, and always will be.

But hey, don't let my opinion stop you.

Not sure what your talking about, maybe you should read a little more.

Anyway, thanks for confirming my original statement in this thread, have a lovely day. 😍

Bigfooty...you have got to be kidding me.

I read a couple of the nasty rumours on there about Saints players and will never participate in that cesspit of a forum. Disgusting place.

I find Saintsational more user friendly and easier to use.

My main problem here is some of the in-fighting between people posting which is irrelevant to most of us.

It is funny how those that break rules and get a small ban (during which they can still read the forum) come back after their posting ban and claim that another forum is better. Why bother being here at all. Nobody is forcing anyone to use this forum but if they do it is for footy discussion and not for abuse and petty personal posturing and arguments.

And why do they always blame the moderator for their ban? The moderator didn’t write the post. The moderator didn’t report the post. All the moderator does is assess the reported post against the forum rules and decides a penalty if required.

Gday Folks! :D I'm a member/contributor to BOTH forums. As was stated earlier; both sites have their pros & cons. I enjoy both forums.

I read big footy but don't post there. There are some funny posters but some annoying posters too.

I still like this place and it's loyal posters. It's a shame there isn't quite the same level of activity but it's still good.

Big Footy has too many threads and is utterly confusing

Have never posted on Big Footballer personally or read it for over 10 years. Perhaps Tony1985 can give me some insight.

Will have a look see.

If we all go there where will certain Saintsational ITK posters get their scoops and inside info.
