Used to be a great site. But I haven't posted there since 2011.......under any name. I gave up on it once most of the decent posters left. You ended up trying to have a debate with what you thought was 3 different people but it was all the same person so of course all had the same point of view

tbf all the decent posters were probably the same person too!

Can we bring the bad pun thread tradition over here? It's the one thing I miss.

I was dual nationality for a while but found that the lack of activity on there and the wider range of posters on here meant there wasn't much point. The rampant right wingers get on your nerves too, plus the total lack of moderation.

I liked it until the guy that ran it stopped, did Sky get involved at one time? There was always some good banter with some of the fester fans, Hackney Fox for one. Not even looked at the site for ages now.

Sky buying Rivals was the beginning of the end, but IMO it was when Smiles stopped running it that it went down hill seriously.

Nice to see you Fergie, by the way! :wave:

He does, and technical issues and a few rampant trolls got the better of him early on, not to mention the CET shutdown pushing a large amount of people over here meaning that instead of GMK being down and you'd go to LAST or TWT to see the same posts that were there last week, you'd come here and have numerous threads on the go. If I'm honest, at first it was like the CET forum lite, but as technical issues pushed people over it became a nice mix.

I like knowl and he speaks a lot of sense, but I don't think he realised at first how important good moderation is on a forum. We used to take the piss out of Nick (still do) on GMK for over-moderating, but ultimately most people want threads on topic and abuse under control and that grew the audience. After a few more database errors you think "what's the point?"

I know Nick has had a lot of stick for the moderating side of things, but I think he does a great job. I'd rather the way it is than have it on here more like the wild west.

People usually are nice at a wake.

It is a shame to see the demise of GMK due to poor management.

Coincidentally the good forum admins have names starting with "N" - Neville, Nigel and Nick

Technically for running the site I can't fault Nick, however I certainly don't agree with his opinions.

As for SBT, my observation is that of late there were probably only 50 or so regulars & half the threads were complete bolloux and/or contained large dose of incorrect or misleading information.

I still have/had an account there but wasn't posting.

GMK is different, and is moderated that way...

...it's what makes for some of the best threads over there.

No I mean not every thread resulting in either two or three people talking about what they're doing at the weekend or nothing but the word "bilge" and "cringe". There was a wide range of posters (most of whom have posted in this thread) who didn't want to read that, just wanted to read about City. The entire board would be taken out for days at a time by trolls posting shit or changing thread titles. If you want a playground for you and your mates that's fine, but if you want to run a service for a wider community you can't get away with that shit.

For all his faults, Nick gets that and runs the forum for the greater good. You can argue, but have a look here: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/gmkonline.com and here: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/skybluestalk.co.uk and you can't really argue. SBT pulls in more viewers, from a wider demographic (interesting that GMK is up and SBT down recently though)

He has failed to keep the forum working, and it was impossible to create an ID or log in with the old one.
