red devil Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I've known for a while that a couple of long-term regular posters have decided to stop posting on the forum...cold turkey permitting.But what I've just realised is that this could be part of a bigger 'suicide pact' cell. So far Missing in Action since the summer we have...Jah LushJeremyOttasteveo????Have they been radicalised by a rival forum? Perhaps enticed away with promises of becoming moderators, or in Jah's case a bottle of JD and a packet of Marlboro's. This is serious. Remember, just like the ravens of the Tower of London, once Otta leaves the Forum, the end is nigh.We need to find them!...

red devil Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Jezza's last post...Re: Le Chardon SoldPosted by Jeremy July 04, 04:32PMThe forum has become a farce... I understand that whenever a new business opens, the first thing their neighbours usually say to them is "don't even bother looking at the forum". It's a shame because it used to be a valuable forum. Now it's just a joke, with the same old faces spouting illogical nonsense, that you can't even argue with because THEY JUST MAKE NO BLOODY SENSE AT ALL...Quite an apt thread to bow out on. Independence day too. The signs were there!... Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/164573-is-the-clique-no-more/#findComment-1168917 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Poste's Child Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I dunno. I always felt that sense of an inner circle left a lot of people feeling like outsiders and as though they had less right to speak. Perhaps it will become more welcoming.Could also be that forums have had their day. Most people have moved on to social media.

Mick Mac Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 There are much easier ways to communicate now (than in mid 2000s when this forum was at it's peak) and to keep it to a wide group of "friends"....The format here is certainly dated. No change in 10 years. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/164573-is-the-clique-no-more/#findComment-1169185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
