Seeing as this site is so shit 10:30 - Aug 25 with 7639 viewsDarran

Seeing as we have some moaning about how quiet it is now on the forum.
Interestingly I spent the last 10 minutes looking at the stats

Since launch we have had almost 13000 posts on the forums - this is just about 500 posts per day on the forums. On average the old forums were averaging around 650 per day but the 500 per day is currently growing and closing in on that number.

So far this month we are at 2.71m page views recorded on the site. Only once this year (January) did the old site exceed 3m so overall there are more page impressions and visitors coming to the site at the moment. The argument will be that the site takes you back to index page etc but it used to take you to your post after giving a 'thanks for posting page' which is actually the same number.

New features are due to go live any day - there have been some teething issues with some of them hence the delay but they are many of the features people have asked for.

One of the reasons the forums feel quieter is we used to run with 16 topics per page, we now run with 25 so whilst there are less topics being posted on (given the reduction in post count) it also looks less as there are more topics and post per page.

The other thing we have now is far more guests viewing the forum. This was always going to be a factor in the new forum as people need to register and we get many people trying to log in using old names which keeps the guest count up.

We currently have 1930 registered members

Nah this place is piss poor. That said the old PS died a death towards the end as well, in terms of quantity & quality of posts.

Compare this place to MB's of similar sized clubs and it's dead in comparison. Thanks mainly down to the mods and the cliquey groups they've inadvertently created. The old PS site was the same old dicks spamming the feecck out of every other thread. It makes for a crap experience when threads are full of pages & pages of utter tripe, more than often perpetuated by the mods. Ruined what should be a fans site, not some little virtual playground for the some clique.

Always been the case, however why the feel the need to keep on telling me I have no idea. The ironic thing is that I am accused of being a bully and troll but whenever I post something thats exactly what happens.

There are some mega plums on this site that's for sure. It's a shame your site is deader than this one, otherwise I may have given it a whirl.

That may be my downfall. Still I can't carry on with this site as it is. Too many people having pops as soon as my opinion differs from theirs, despite the fact I am willing to debate with them. Within one or two posts they start up with the inane name calling. I can only conclude they are thick.

Dont let forum bullys drag you away from here Jackfath. Surely the point of a forum is that every viewpoiunt should be welcomed and embraced. just because people of lower intelligence cannot reply without abusing you dont walk away from something you enjoy

stonedroller - clearly you are welcome or you wouldnt be able to log in? you have just sadly become the puppet for someone with major problems

some of the new posters wouldn't recognise banter if it bit them, they take every post seriously, some of them are just cyber bully boys, if you don't like em just put them on ignore, thats better than 2 pages of posters aiming filth at each other. fathy's fishing often gets things going,don't belittle him for having an opinion of his own and don't reply to his fishing trips unless you have a point of your own to make.

Compare this place to MB's of similar sized clubs and it's dead in comparison. Thanks mainly down to the mods and the cliquey groups they've inadvertently created.

It makes for a crap experience when threads are full of pages & pages of utter tripe, more than often perpetuated by the mods.

Got to agree. Also by any objective standard the website itself is very poor. Functionality issues aside Its whole appearance is utilitarian and depressing and the user interface is neither well designed nor intuitive which impacts everyone that uses it.

It is a shame because a lot could be improved by relatively small changes. But hey why be enlightened when we can just take the p1$$ out of anyone that points out its shortcomings. Lets just continue to insult each other like kids in the playground.
