Hey all

[Jarka 767]

the Melbourne bigfooty board was once the crown jewell of that place (along with the limbo club).

we had yourself, yze_magic, rick_James, higgs etc. even the mods trolled.

Yah, poor old 'Fat Hands' used to cop it from all angles.

Good times

... but the strange thing is that where previously during the off-season there was a great deal of activity in the General forum (and it could get very heated/lively),

But alas not for the tragic "Rollinson 65" who spat the dummy when the footy and general boards were split and refused to post there until this was changed back!

What a loss to not have this

interspersed between the footy posts.

Now that was embarrassing, there were some 300 posts on the thread and he was responsible for 90% of them. All the information he posted was, I believe, available on her blog.

He was one of the principle reasons I stopped posting there, it was just like having your own personal stalker, one who spoke in an alien language.

Not sure which would be the greatest endurance test - Southern Ocean at 16yo or reading that thread.

ahhhh - they were the good old days. Always interesting to see how online communities evolve. Wonder if anybody has ever done a study on them?

Why do you think there has been no traffic on the general board Hardtack?

Think about it?

Who were the posters that kept the site active during the off season and where are they now.

RF... I guess that was the point I was making (albeit in an obscure way)... the fact that so many have defected and the fact that no new registrations can be made, has meant hat activity has come to all but complete standstill spelling the sad but imminent death of the site.

long time member of both sites and has very much just a reader nowadays , was very active here on the old demonland site but with work things change

i hope all melbourne sites continue and be good for the club , this isnt a thread demonland v olgy , like all sites both have good and bad posters /points and so on , but at the end of the day we all support melbourne and hope for the next flag ...
