Better message board, better looking site, better functionality, better speed, better smilies, better posters  , better everything really other than debate  |  |

Force of habit, pack mentality, familiarity - shame cos some decent threads of here which would easily score a ton over there. | |

Think BB is spot on - think a few will come over tonight - I posted a link on there last Saturday for the Chat Room and was really busy - will do the same later! | |

It takes time. At the moment they are all wallowing in happiness at having a balanced-discussion-free-zone on the old site. If we start doing reasonably well they won't have any football to talk about and it will become little more than an Oyston bashing forum.
Nothing wrong with criticism of the owners and the shambolic way the chairman is allowing the club to operate, but I prefer to have some on the pitch things to talk about. We probably need to get a few games into the season and then we can form opinions about all of these players we know nothing about, and hopefully sensible discussion will break out. Let's just hope we don't fall back into the "not good enough for League 1" or "cheap option" types of instant dismissal without any reasons put forward for such a view. |  | | |

Most of the banned users have returned, and are probably enjoying themselves right now.
They've got plenty to talk about as long as TDL keeps posting, coincidently straight after AVFTT moved, and the new board name discussion and the mod nominations will keep them ticking over.
I think it will always be a busy forum. But a forum is all it is, unlike here, which has loads of extras.
I think the mods won't be tested just yet. But they will be. |  | | |

I use both more the old one than new site and also Bhs.I'm a middle aged bloke and not really bothered about video/photo etc but the amount of posters on a debate is why Bhs wasn't for me.
When you get small numbers you end up becoming a click as everybody kind of knows the other posters.
The old site was supposed to shut down and in a way would have been for the good,now we have a split as Fansonline make money out of the site with the busy traffic and won't close it.
Some of the posters who where banned overstepped the mark which is easy sat behind a computer when you are drinking but where good posters.
I don't know how this one will pan out because this site is like Bhs now very nice with technology but low traffic so I'll wait and see. | | | |

Think if they are happy to keep bashing KO then let them get on with it. He says their efforts do not affect him and in a way I think he means it. If they are bashing KO then they are leaving Jose and the Players alone.
This site will take a little getting used to but it will do the job in the end. | | | |

The problem is that this site gives the impression, all is well with the world. No it ain't.
This site allows you to post pictures, go to a Chat Room, use fancy emoticons or whatever. Most people don't want that.
This site ain't work friendly with the massive Tangerine background.
Fair play to those who set it up, but its not for me. | |

Is this because every other thread doesn't have the words Oyston in it?
The Karl Oyston column thread shows that things are not right at the club, and I think a lot of fans have read the Gazette today and feel the same. | | | |

Some very narrow minded views on here I have to say and also very precious and not that welcoming.
I am with Herts on this, it isn't for me either but to each their own. I think you will find that this site just won't get the traffic it requires to succeed, it isn't needed, it does what BHS does and that is established.
And if you think the old site is just anti Oyston, you are wrong, it is just haow it always was, a debate about everything, even non BFC and from all viewpoints.
I am not surprised at the user names who are dissing the old site, they are ones who were clearly never comfortable on the there in the past.
Give it 3 months and see where we are then, but I think the old site will just be as busy as it always was. |  | | |

I got a message from a moderator asking me to 'have a go at posting' I replying saying it is already very clicky on here and will put most people off.
It thread proves that.

I don't like this new at all but because it's the new one I feel obliged to post now and again. Used to the simple old look of the old one, plus force of habit! |  | | |

The other site has more debate and better posters contributing to it. It's only really missing Robbie.
This site seems to have plenty of readers, but not many posters. Without good juicy threads to get discussion going, it's not much of a forum. Plus the 'page' thing on longer threads is really annoying.
Oh, and there's also quite a few people who felt misled about the way the 'closure' of the old site was announced..... |  |
| We got Bogdanovic, Oyston got very rich |

We don't have TDL or Allez posting much, that's why, and we haven't had an anti BSA thread for 20's to chew on  | | | |
