Best Vs Worst thing about this site

Quite a UK-specific theme to news, info and posts. Makes a very welcome change from everything being US focused.

Decent advice from the majority of posters.

The bad

Not enough use made of stickys - you could probably halve the number of posts in the techroom with one sticky containing facts about DOT/HSE bottles & retest intervals which was kept relevant and up to date.

Can be a teensie bit cliquey at times.

Some posters who seem to regard non-tourny players as being inferior in some way.

Mods don't seem to be particuarly active.

I'm guessing most people use the view new posts button, in which case stickies don't do much good. But I get your point.

What sort of activity do you expect from the mods? I know that I do plenty of stuff, and so does Baca, most of which hard or impossible to see for non mods. Personally I prefer sites which are moderated in a way that it doesn't seem like there's some forum police around. But I'm truly interested in what you mean, this is no dig at you. help us improve, mate.

Hey I remember there was some guy called Robbo who used to play paintball......are you like his son or something?

Buddha - I think I'm probably used to forums where the mods are slightly more aggressive, got no specific grumbles that I can point to, just doesn't quite feel right without some nazi-mods deleting anything off-topic.

Best: It's not Smacktalk

Worst: My phonebill since Robbo returned to the forums

Ouch, Ouch, and Ouch again !!!!

My playing days are most certainly over and am now undergoing a metamorphosis, much like Gandalf did after 'having it large' with the Balrog.

No Probs Beak, I was gonna allow images as well to be transferred but decided not to because of the data transfer increase and of course would have caused problems with all the pervs we got on this board, especially Bowen with his predilection for all things gay !!

It's like footie, player -> player/manager - > manager. Just don't forget the dodgy sheepskin coat.

Best of luck with the team m8.

Right, that's 1 good player out of the picture, only need to convince the other 4,738,632 people better than me to stop playing and I'll be the greatest player in the world!

Don't see the need for images, if it's really important then they can use e-mail. But PM's are usefull for getting hold of people quickly but the old character limit was a hassle - 500 is just right.

Bowen - yeah, less said about that the better
