    Lots of light hearted banter and general buffoonery, but it's been taken over by doom mongers, trolls, attention seekers and all round know it alls. It comes to something when the most entertaining posts of the day are, jays bad back and a 12 seater mini bus.

    Where has all the humour gone?

    I still think there is a lot of sense spoken on the BBS.

    Yes, we get our fair share of heated and quite personal debate.......this is not called for, and is probably on the increase?

    But in general, not a bad bunch of fans.

    Actually think it is quite interesting at the moment because the team's and manager's performances are starting to polarise opinion now with growing numbers on the 'sack him' side of the fence but plenty still on the 'back him' side, and there is a lot of good argument either way, with rational points being made by both sides.

    There is still the odd poster who thinks that only their opinion counts and those that disagree are idiots, or W*nkers or whatever. But they are, for the most part, in the minority at the moment.

    Certain people on here would be happy if this board consisted of just 'mates' like one big family - then when new people come on and bring a bit of comedy value they feel the need to come on and threaten to never post on here again until all the outsiders have gone.. jesus if you just want to chat with your mates off here just go to the number 7 before a game

    I've been coming on here donkeys years cricket jim and I've seen countless people take the same confrontational line that you are. One of two things usually happen, they either get bored and bugger off, or it dawns on them that if they say something interesting enough, often enough, they will start to get the kind of responses they after.

    I blame ASDA at Kettlethorpe for stopping selling Acorn, Ossett, Saltaire, Ilkley and Kelham Island beers

    The BBS knocks other BFC forums into a cocked hat. I know there can be some arguing and name calling but in general is still a good forum most of the time.

    That could explain the lack of night time japery.

    However, I can only presume that that the day time Hartog set turned in to old men who now prefer debating flickers performance in 10000 word essays, rather than mentioning dry loving in every post.

    And just to back up that theory, one of the most consistent and persistent board trolls over the past few years, seems to have had an epiphany just recently and taken the latter option. He has been seen out with the clique in the old no.7 and is now making friends (currently being played out on another thread). It's just like an episode of little house on the prairie.

    In 2005, you weren't allowed on the board unless you knew how to fit the words "dry loving" or "rimming" into every sentence. Ask extremely northern or jay, they were good at it.

    I think Landlord of The old No 7 is your secret dream job. You think about it night and day. You're dreaming of it right now.

    Who's actually in this No7 clickerty click thingy? I'm intrigued. Don't get involved in the backstabbing and backbitIng shenanigans etc on here.

    I'm interested to know as a relatively new poster?!?

    I don't think it exists.
    People go for drinks in pubs all over Barnsley pre match, but apparently if you go in the No 7 it means you're in a clique.
    Personally I go in with my sister(who has a pre-not going to the match beer), and I see one or two people I know in there. I think that's called "knowing people" or "having friends".
    We sometimes really mess with it and go to a different pub. Or meet different friends. Sometimes I go straight to the ground and have a cup of tea.
