What is it about Cricketweb that puts people off taking part?

[sledger]

the best time was when cdm and andmark joined the forum as ten year olds

and then their dad signed up to call us all pieces of ****

 

[GIMH]

Their dad was correct

I do wonder how that popcorn business went.

Didn't andmark come on and say CdM was still wrestling? Wag

 

[sledger]

I hope he is tbh

From what I remember getting into wrestling helped him lose loads of weight and get into good shape, which is genuinely really cool

 

[Athlai]

I'd love to run the ropes one day. Not do it right, find out its way too difficult and sore. Get slapped in the chest by a proper wrestler and never ever do any of that ever again.

a pal of mine ran into Jeff Cobb in an izakaya in Fukuoka a few months ago and asked him to chop him

he regrets his choice

Missed that, any chance you can point me to those posts?

I can't remember the username now, but it was the name of a popular Windies player from the 60s or 70s I think

Something like Greenidge or Sobers

if you weren't a moderator I would have looked into whether there was an ignore function very early on.

For the record you can ignore mods.

r/rugbyunion used to be genuniely great, then they threw out most of the rules and it became just memes.

Could apply to 90% of subreddits.

I find it quite disturbing to think that there could be 9 year old children posting on here (or any other forum).

Ffs.

How did you people fail to pick up that a 9 year old was posting?

Given how a lot of people post in here, it would be remarkably difficult for all but the most astute of observers to decide which of us isn't 9 years old.

Just like your face.

Less being a ***** and more talking about food.

I don't know how but you've given me a craving for a doner kebab for the first time in years.

If only we had divert our thoughts towards this then we’d saved ourselves 190+ posts of pure ****

Are there a few occasions where people are mildly unwelcoming towards newcomers? Sure, but overall the attitude is a net positive because it keeps away abonimable posters before they become established and it gets tougher to drive them away (jimmy leaving was a disappointment tho, he kinda misunderstood some rightful ridicule of another poster's bad posting as needless bullying). The size of CW's regular poster base is kind of perfect for what it is imo, most posters know each other so it doesn't usually feel like you're talking to an anonymous rando you'll never run into again.

The activity level from even the existing userbase has dropped for sure though, and the fact that some countries (non-India subcontinent nations, WI) barely seem to be represented here is a more valid issue with this place.

That wasn't the reason. And the abominable posting you previously refer to was already established by existing posters.

Why did Andyc quit as well. He was good value

Why did Andyc quit as well. He was good value

afaik he just got a life and ran out of time.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah I don't think he actually quit, just stopped coming back.
