Yep I've had fans of other clubs comment on it saying they're shocked at the content of our messageboard, makes me cringe. Hold the administrators and moderators more responsible tbh, it's their job to be clamping down on shit like that. Pretty sure the posts about the great replacement theory were only removed when it was commented on here. Just went on again to see what people replied and before I got chance to the person in charge of it has suddenly decided he's stepping down from being the main person in charge I've been thinking about it for a couple of weeks. New job leaves less time for running the place, so things get missed. Either someone will take over or it will die

Am no fan of FGR or their owner, but why not make publicity out of it? Why is it any more cynical than any other bit of publicity? as for the other board, comments on here about ‘stain’ etc are an over reaction and probably will only drive further such comments to wind the peeps up that made them. It is. Completely. It’s bad for the clubs name to be attached to it. There’s been outright racism, threats of violence, misogyny, anything you can name. And it’s just left there. ‘If you don’t like it, don’t post here’, people trot that out. Not good enough. It’s sad people sneering and having a pop. It’s grim. Nik is right too, there’s been virtually zero moderation on there. If it breaks the law, it gets dealt with.

No doubt that she was well qualified to at least take the temporary position however I think the fact they (FGR) went out of their way to publish photos of her holding the club shirt in the way that’s usually reserved for permanent appointments displays their cynical/publicity seeking side. Am no fan of FGR or their owner, but why not make publicity out of it? Why is it any more cynical than any other bit of publicity? as for the other board, comments on here about ‘stain’ etc are an over reaction and probably will only drive further such comments to wind the peeps up that made them. Openly discussing white nationalist theories is definitely a stain on the football club even if these people are your old mates.

I think it’s better that the board dies a death mate because there are some disgusting vile individuals on there sadly.

But it's your party, fair play to you for taking it on. I can't really see how it survives much longer.

Idiocy is fine. Anything that goes beyond I try I deal with. Don't have the time now though really, so either someone will take it over or in a couple of weeks it will vanish

Grateful this place is here and seemingly thriving with activity. The other board banned me for absolutely nothing. I'd only just joined after years of reading and one of the regulars took offence to something I said. Threatened me, called me names.
I kept my replies very placid and next thing I know I was kicked off, no warning, message, or anything. It just gave me a really negative feeling towards the online community around the club. I must say I'm glad I got booted now, this place has a much better vibe and long may it continue.

Years ago, maybe pushing ten years. Sure you were a poster but you weren't an admin to my knowledge.

Yeah sorry man, should have specified that at the start didn't mean to falsely implicate anyone

It’s like a really shit rough pub, best if it stays open and keeps all the undesirables in one place than closing and having them ruining half decent places

Anything that goes beyond I try I deal with. Don't have the time now though really, so either someone will take it over or in a couple of weeks it will vanish Say nobody steps up between now and then, how does the process work for it disappearing? If people keep adding days, will it not just live indefinitely but with no moderation? Or do you have to/will you make the decision to turn the lights off yourself?

It would be quite funny to see that board go and to see where the neanderthals migrate to next. At least fans of other clubs would find this place insread for a better view on footballing matters.

I'm not sure, but ultimately someone has to own it. If nobody steps forward, I'll have to shut it down
