Do you need/want a private forum?
 

Easy question this, do you need or want a private or invite only forum within the accrington stanley section? Several people have mentioned that it is a good idea..

From what I can see there are pro's and con's with the idea... Obvious pro's are the idiots can't get in and a con is that new users can't see whats going on... hmmm unless it's viewable by everyone but only invited real fans can post.. whatever the rules, you decide, this forum can handle it so can I have your suggestions here please!

I do think its a good idea.

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

I think a lot of people have learnt their lesson over the Stanley Messageboard ending, its quite good when fans from other teams come on the forum but like you say any nutter can come on !!!! I think it would be best to start with an open forum and if the idiots come along again then make it by invitation only ??? Well thats my thought :idunno: :idunno:

Hi Roy;
Thanks for all the great work you have done getting this forum up and running and letting us on it!I have a problem though;have just got my virtual dog and with stunning originality have called it Stanley,only to find out that Shurm's dog is Stanley too!What can I do to avoid the inevitable confusion?

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

Here Stanley Stanley come on boy ! oh who's your friend ?:emotion-5 :blink8:

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

Problem solved by Roy....my super dog is now Rory!!!! :flasher8: :flasher8:

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?

TM leave off my dog will you just cos you havn't got one, you can play with him but not taught him he's very upset now !!! :uzi:

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

Yer dog isn't called shrum is it? :)

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

I was teaching him some discipline. :D

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

Very difficult question?

Who do you let in and why? Who do you not let in and why?:confused:

Seems tempting to just kneejerk and say yes after some of the things we have just witnessed recently but it aint that simple.

I vote we say no for now but as long as the option is available if needed:beer58:

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

I'm with Shurm and TM. Let's wait and see.

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

Er hello everyone,

I've calmed down a bit now especially seeing as the forum was fairly straight forward to register on.

I shall remain calm providing that some one doesn't go and change everything in a few months. It is very disorientating all this change you know.

The idea of a private forum sounds OK but democracy isn't really about only listening to things that you want to hear. As for kids being on the site, well if they are talking crap then don't respond just ignore them. To be fair a lot of the younger members of the other forum did have valid things to say most of the time. They just got abit out of hand when the alco-pops kicked in.

Your dogs soft SuperAccyStan....hehehe!!:ohmy8:

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

i wouldn't laugh if i were you, smiffy. your dog better watch it's back :ph34r8: NINJA DOG!!!

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

Rory the super dog has now whupped Accyladdie's dogs **** twice!!!This virtual dog stuff is good fun,and without the need to surreptitiously carry empty bags round to clean up after the blighters!I think Tin Monkey,Kipax and Jimbo need to enter the world of virtual pets!!! :drink:
{and yes I checked the spelling!** :kiss8:

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

I've enough problems with my real dog, without looking for more in the virtual world! :laugh8:

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

:rose8: How the hell do you feed these damnd dogs?

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

Go to petz, buy some food from spar, then you need to use your food, it does not do it auto! my max was barking at me when I realised I had bought him his Favourite but had left it on the shelf, he just had it, happy pup.

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

What with all this dog business (if you'll pardon the expression) my initial impression is that our new forum is heading even further down the road to Dumbland.

However, I'll be open-minded for as long as possible and bear in mind that the novelty will soon wear off -- especially after one or two of the pesky mutts succumb to starvation and neglect.

Actually, I really am a dog lover . . .some of my favourite restaurants are in South Korea.

As for the question about a private forum, I agree with the Min of I (or whatever he calls himself now); it's really up to the more,ahem, mature posters amongst us to maintain the quality as well as the quantity of content. The youngsters might even learn how to write real words, how to punctuate and how to spell.;)

Anyway, it's nice to be with you all again "on the other side" (as I think AccyMad referred to it).

Ooer! I've just glanced in the mirror and I look exactly like that Christopher Eccleston . . . .

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

Wayhey, rocky (Smiffy's dog) has just been annihilated

seriously, though, it is just a bit of fun. it'll wear off sooner or later

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

Speaking as a mature person myself who has always had a spelling problem and am slightly illiterate I would just ask whats the problem? As long as you understand the message then who cares about the spelling or punctuation?


As for the dogs... The south korea thing will probbaly go over the moorhead crowds head... but I thought it was funny :) On the whole I have to say I prefer a nice cat... now now... hands up if you thought I was gonna say.......

there is a petz section to the MB and I htink all posts like the ones furthur up about petz should be moved to there....

Only fair... people in the petz section dont talk about accrington stanley and people in here dont chat about petz.... not rocket science eh? :)

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

me too, i say stuff like that all the time, im not really a dog-lover

Kipax, to use a well-worn expression of your own . . .note the Smiley.

Re: Do you need/want a private forum?
 

well worn?


hmm I did note the smiley... I also noted the comment and responded... A smiley tells me you where happy and smiling when you wrote it... it doesn't tell me you didn't mean the comments.. A smiley isn't a licence to say what you want and not have a response is it?

For the record my response was written in the same happy way.. hence the joke in the next paragraph... As for well worn sayings... The one I use most is to remind people.. this isn't real life... try not to confuse it :)

nagh nagh :)
