Do you want Paasche's theory or Laspeyre's index? :wink:
Can I say, in the nicest possible way, you need a root.

The reason why the topic has come up is because when some AFL news transcends the club news like Cousins, Carey or Israel Folau, Karmichael Hunt etc, it may be good for us to discuss it on the Fan Forum rather than the Opposition Forum.

.
If it transcends things and influences the Saints because it is really big news etc...then it can be posted here.

Otherwise if it is about an opposition club 100% it goes to the Opposition forum.

Using Luje Ball as another example...when he was in the process of walking out on us...it was ok here. But once he becomea 100% red light running Pie posts on him show go in the Opp. Forum.

This forum should mainly be on the Saints...and not on anything remotely to do with Footie..IMO !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whethere the Opp forum is lightly us ed or not I believe is irrelevant...as the presecence of BigFooty wil probably influence that.

Something like "Another Injury Scare" could have people flocking to the thread in their thousands only to find out that Fevola has done another groin......
Lol, yes some time ago the mods, in the nicest possible way, asked posters to make thread titles meaningful - so folks don't have to waste time opening stuff of no interest to them....

You still have heaps of topics like, 'look at this', 'are you like me' 'I rang' etc etc :shock:

1st i am a troll
2nd i am called a Collingwood Troll
3rd i am called a Geelong troll
then i am an illiterate wanker
then i am a Neanderthal Newbie
now i am a banned and or a second I:D
and you guys have the gall to talk about abuse LOL.

I will tell you priicks what, i am none of the above, i have a little info on the inside that sometimes i may or may have not have disclosed. I will leave you all to your precious little forum and head on outta here, and you can all tug each other off and abuse each other until your hearts content. Gutless wonders personified is all i can assertain out of all this.

No wonder noones here and the new guys leave.

Dont bother replying to me i wont be reading, but maybe your jerk circle can get some jollies out of smart arse remarks and fake bravado from behind your keyboards.

Bye kiddies and GO SAINTS!!

this is my favourite part, I think this poster means "don't bother proving me wrong"

And for the record I have never abused this poster! I have never heard of this poster! Someone is a little full of self importance I think (have i now abused him/her?)

Yeah righto, BUT did you at least have a vote in this thread???

Surely, that's more important

I'm inclusive (not exclusive) so gazrat told me. Who ever you are GoTheTorp, who ever you annoy, you are part of the fabric of life. Typing in cyberland is a shyte way to communicate and often leads to angst. If everyone tonned it down a bit and showed a little respect for others by sensoring our keystrokes, as we do with our voice in public, cyber interaction might return to the glory days of the last century.

At least trial it for 6 months.

Too close to call at this stage. General forum preferences will be critical.

I reckon either Julia or Tony would be pretty happy with a 56-44 split come August 21 (or thereabouts).

But with only 96 of the 3624 votes counted it's still quite early. Can't say a great deal about things with <3% of the primary counted.

Some pretty ugly booths still to come in.

The poll will be up for another week, and then a decision will be made. Maybe a trial run, or a compromise.

The feedback has been good and productive.

They haven't been merged, matrix.

Again to make perfectly clear, it is the merger of the Fan Forum and the Opposition/General Footy Forum that is being discussed.

The General Forum and the Cheersquad Forum will still remain as they are.
