I went trying to find that thread. I found a Johnno thread that ended in lock. If anyone wants to see the kind of quality discussion we used to have on opposition players, that one is a shining example:

Maybe we've grown more mature over our time apart, but I'm not that optimistic.
Was there a Poll about creating the Opp forum?

Can't remember one.

cowboy18 you are the funniest. :) hahahaha

OK.. a democracy it is then.

ummm...
So, if the majority vote for a new SS header with hard core porn girls in Saints jumpers... then....


5 prelims in 7 years. 40 wins from 49 games.
2009 and 2010 were 2 of the 5 best years ever by the St.Kilda FC.
Thanks for all your efforts Saints.

This thread certainly delivers.

It is like the 20/20 Summit held by Kruddy when he came to office. A melting pot of ideas to fix the nation of Saintsational.

Delivering in spades.

Thank you. Least I could do is take one for the forum.

I eat pressure for breakfast, especially if I was sharing that meal with JLH.

Like that too. s66au suggested that as well. Hey guess what, despite the quest to argue and be negative, we are coming up with a combination of good ideas. Amazing how constructive we can be when we put our weapons down. :wink:

So maybe the Opp Forum becomes the Opposition/All Sports Forum.

The Gen Forum is just for non sports issues, stories, jokes, anecdotes and current affairs.

If a non Saints story is big enough it can be posted on the Fan Forum and the mods will have the discretion to move threads.

How is that sounding? Nothing major IMHO.

errrrr
that was sarcasm
i think its a totally stupid idea :?
Ahh the irony.
The lowest form of wit may have become the highest.
Your sarcasm might have brought you undone.
Now that's funny :lol:
excuse me???

god youre an idiot

.....In the huge time period of 4 weeks since I've been a mod, I have noticed lots of new posters and heaps of old posters coming back.

I have PMed a lot of frequent posters to ask what they want and say that I am available if they have any issues.

I have a pile of PMs supporting the forum.....

........ They are frightened to post because of certain posters.
Just wondering, are the 'frequent posters' those with post counts of 10,000+ ??

If I post anything and in everything, and get that all important post count up, I can become a frequent poster, and an SS Platinum Member :shock:

Anyway I want a Toys and Pram Board - for fun stuff, sort of like a destitute's version of BF Bay 13 :shock:

In fairness, I must say that Milan PM'd me and asked me what I wanted.

Still waiting for the plainly-wrapped package to arrive. :shock:

No, but since we have 3,500 posters, I started at the top of the list and was curious about posters who maybe haven't posted in a while or had specific complaints about the forum but still posted.

It is a long exercise so it might take some time to get to you, but if you would like a PM, I can send you one.

Since this is a volunteer job, it's often hard to combine a full time job, and life with sending PMs. So sorry that you haven't received one yet.

That would be awesome!

But I don't think a lot of our female posters would approve so maybe we let them have a Saintsational Forum King.

Why would the female posters not approve of cuddly Virgil?

as per a0k's pic, I believe it is Sammy Davis Jnr, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.

I think they performed at a lot of clubs in the 60's.
