    Just thinking out loud.


    Why not break the forum down into segments-


    BFC chat

    General football chat

    off topic chat

    Clique chat



    Would this help?

    How do we decide who is in the clique? Is there more than one clique? Do we need separate segments for each clique?

    So many questions.

    I might start an Asian/Australian/NZ clique. We can post stuff in the middle of the night while everyone else is asleep.

    Maybe have a profile section of the most high profile members such as the 'in-the-know' and linked up drama queen.

    Or we could try a radical approach where some people try not to take themselves too seriously.

    Remove Mr Whitey as an administrator!

    With all the Butterfield shenanigans i'm afraid he lacks impartiality on certain matters and his credibility for such a role comes into question.

    Also he states he has done with this board yet in the next 48 hours is posting as usual.

    Nothing against the guy but his judgement of whats banter and what is serious will frankly cause more problems on this board than there needs to be.

    The current administrators do a great job sitting in the background deciding whats appropriate or out of order and I have respect for them for the difficult job they do because they do it well.

    Adding Mr Whitey into the equation is and will continue to upset the equilibrium of showing impartial judgement when dealing with various issues.

    Nothing wrong with my impartiality. I received reports from posters and acted accordingly. It's all very simple. Play by the rules. However, if that is beyond you then I suggest you take up your crusade with another member of the admin team.

    Cheers.

    Nobody has been banned, I merely reminded people of the forum rules. A couple of you received warnings, after I was emailed reported posts, from other posters who wanted the posts bringing to admin attention. Everything is above board. But again, if you are paranoid and feel you're being treated unfairly then please inform another member of the admin team.

    Cheers.

    Disagree Mr Whitey .

    I do wish you would keep to your word.

    Your causing divisions among the BBS

    Stick to what you do best if you are back posting, which are your blogs which are most enjoyable, getting involved in admin affairs is a recipe for disaster.

    Over and Out

    Can we split the site in two please

    A..... Subjects already done to death, including john stones, paul digby, holgate, score boards, butterball, loanees, whitey's big 'ead, .;tykes:. crassness, conan's manic depression, etc etc.. This list is not all inclusive, but you get the gist

    B..... brand spanking new threads with original thoughts and ideas

    I realise the latter will be few and far between, but it'll save me wading through the same old *****, day in, day out.

    Again, nobody has been banned. But I have already told you that if enough of you want me to stand down as admin, no problem. Over to you.
