Whilst I much prefer the functionality, the look, the design and the features on here, is it time for the minority of Blackpool fans to return to Fansonline and reunite everyone or is this site worth sticking with because the other one still looks on it's last legs technically (I can never get the Prediction League to work) and falls off line quite regularly.
Seems to me we won't get them over here and so does everyone head back there. I post on both but must confess you can post on here and get a couple of replies and do the same over there and get a half century within an hour!
To me we're stronger together and it's a better read or do we just post on both and let the stronger survive and the weak fail? |  |

This place seems to rattle along in an unextraordinary quite quaint way - I like seeing what's being said - used to do the same with BHS but unless someone puts a link to it I tend to forget about it. Worth keeping this one going because Fansonline always breaks down over Xmas!! | |

I understand where you are coming from, but the other site is infested with horrible people and seems to have no proper moderation at all. Have you read it for any length of time?
It's civilised on here, and the features are first class. Better than you'll ever get over there. The programmers are in the Stone Age, and making no progress. You'd be better off migrating to BHS, at least they know what they're doing. | | | |

I like reading both sites and enjoyed posting on FOL for years, but eventually became bored by the lies, innuendo and unmoderated abuse aimed at anyone who dares to question the conventional 'wisdom' or whose default mode is not wallowing in misery/ sneering at all things BFC.
A shame as there are still some good posters over there - and some good threads when football rather than politics is put first - but you do get a wider range of views on this site: and a wider range of views is more representative of our support as a whole.
I think you might well get a vote for reunification on here - and I would always welcome visitors on here who wanted to put a reasoned argument - but the small group of Maoists who have made FOL their home would rather stick pins in their eyes methinks, so highly unlikely. | | | |

Room for both and I'll continue to post on both.
I see this site as being for considered debate while the other is for quick one liners.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way — in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."
I'd better stop there before I get into Stuart Hall territory...
No, not THAT Stuart Hall territory. |  | | |

Prefer quality over quantity.
Coming on here is like going to a nice restaurant once a week rather than entering Wetherspoons every day. | | | |

I go on both sites and find that Fans on Line has many more visitors and contributors. It's probably a case of old habits die hard, a lot of people do not like change! | | | |

Neither site can hold a candle to Vital for information, reasoned debate, intelligent posts and good humour. | | | |

I would suppose that were this site a new product that had just been launched onto the Market, it would have to be judged a failure.
It has followed the usual path of novelty and interest initially, but as the numbers demonstrate, has been unable to progress further.
I have no axe to grind about whether it should exist or not.
It does.....so let it !
I feel that all it has done is shave a few percentage points off the old site, rather like the launch of a variant of an established product. It doesn't make the whole any bigger, i.e. doesn't grow, but merely fractures the original. | | | |

....and done more often than not with respect for fellow supporters.
I do like Vituls if a little slow. that said i look on every day- even the resident oysonite will post the main points from the Gazette paper version early doors. Usually something to read and have you thinking. Which is the point? Right? | |

This site cut it's own throat before it ever got up and running by telling lies about the demise of FoL. [Post edited 10 Dec 2014 8:08]

Lies, or a simple misunderstanding of what would happen? | | | |

I'm with Seasider13 - I find the old site just takes too long to trawl through all the posts and I find myself pre-occupied with it and usually angered by some of the comments - here is nice and easy and with fewer posters and posts am wasting less of my time on Blackpool FC! | |
