Finnegan Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Two things, NSLL (one of which is - shockingly - a compliment.) Firstly, in regards to it being "cliquey" here before, I've always found that it was just the people that came across as more socially awkward on here that found it to be so. Anyone with a sense of humour and a bit of confidence was quickly included. It wasn't really exclusive. Let's be fair it basically all just started as TPH and Fez bumloving each other and quickly evolved into plenty getting on board. Manwell, Alex, Daggers, myself, fringe contributions from even the like of cisono and lookydo. Later Smuts and co'. All of the "in-jokes" were only "in-jokes" if you hadn't read the forum because they were all started here and the people involved weren't all friends prior to Foxes Talk. You just needed the confidence to say "sod it, it's just the internet" and get involved. Which sort of leads me on to point two, I don't think FT is any less hostile these days, buddy, (in fact it's arguably far more bitter - but maybe that's just from a personal point of view because, by now, I've annoyed enough people ) I just think you, personally, have matured to a point where your contributions fit in a bit more and you have the strength of character to ignore it when you do get ribbed on.
The Doctor Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 there are still some good posters around, in paticular el empty's conspiracy theories about pretty much everything can be quite amusing.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Ah, the clique. Now those were the days. I'll never forget that middle aged woman getting her paps out in TJ's.
Finnegan Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 The All Nighter Crew were just a poor man's Swan Lestas.
Mee Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 I've not really been on this forum long, compared to others, but everytime I log on there is something to talk about. The LCFC section gets bombarded with awful threads, but that's just because some young lads just want credit for something (in my opinion). Just telling them to fook off isn't the nicest way though, just tell them to look through other threads. I do feel for the mods though, having to go through and delete them all. There are still a few threads what make me laugh, the BlueBrett one (off the top of my head) is the one I can remember. I, myself, think jnc25 (?) is a decent poster and he is fairly new. I do think there is a lot of banter to still be had, but the constant 'BECKHAMS COMING!?!?' threads override that, and that's what everyone replies to. Just my opinion.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Weirdly, I checked my profile and found that THIS is the forum I post the most in. I'd have thought that it would have been Leicester City or Music forum, but no, it's here - which is weird, cos sometimes it's like "did u see X-factor?" "Yeah, I like X-factor, do you?" "What's on the telly?" "X-factor" "I saw a dog poo" "My cat has fleas" "It's snowing" "Shut up Val, it's ALWAYS FRIKKING SNOWING where you are!" "Here's a funny picture of someone falling off a skateboard" "I've got a skateboard" "You should put that in the Skateboard thread" "Webbo for mod!" "This" "Hooray, I've got a ticket to see my aunty in the school panto" "What is Bilo thinking off? Who knows; I never understand him myself" "WHERE HAVE ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE GONE?!?!?! " "Thurmaston smells" "TITTIES!!!" "What is like turkey, but different?" "I have a large body of water in my living room... BEHOLD!" "I hate school" "I love uni" "uni costs too much" "youngsters don't know they got it made" "+1 for that comment (and as such I am of course expecting you to return the compliment)" "What's better? A4 paper or A5?" "My post was late. To whom do I complain?!" "I like Where's Wally? books" "Cheryl Cole is hot!" "Weep for the world, for the time has come for great mourning - we will never again see such times as those which have formerly past!" "Wat iz post when how I putt it on da frOum?" "Seven silly things about slippers" "Oh yeah, I bet you think Hitler had some good ideas... NAZI!" "Wibble" I really don't know why I bother contributing to that trash.
Finnegan Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 You blatantly only wrote that for a plus-one. And boo for the Godwin.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Cheers, have one yourself! But it was an ironic Godwin

Guest Bilo Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Ah, the clique. Now those were the days. I'll never forget that middle aged woman getting her paps out in TJ's. I miss all the talk of the clique. It was great fun to read about them, almost like FT's answer to the Freemasons. All powerful, secretive and answerable only to themselves. The All Nighter Crew were just a poor man's Swan Lestas. Must have been a bloody nightmare to mod that thread, didn't half get ugly.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 I heart Mee-9. (The cheque's in the post.....) No need for a cheque, +1 will do, as i <3 my rep.
Brainy Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Of which you would have contributed to. Actually i'm making a serious point, its you that posting the shit. Who gives a shit it's just a forum. So much more to life than worrying about some stupid little website. Just let things be what they are.
Webbo Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Alex is gay. Most others are cocks. You mean E-cocks.
StanSP Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Actually i'm making a serious point, its you that posting the shit. Really? Despite me saying the same thing as Bilo, saying how this thread is sparking conversation? And you just say this thread is shit for like the 3rd time.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 The All Nighter Crew were just a poor man's Swan Lestas. It's pronounced 'clique.' Bet you loved moderating during that halcyon period.
Brainy Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Really? Despite me saying the same thing as Bilo, saying how this thread is sparking conversation? And you just say this thread is shit for like the 3rd time. Well yeah maybe if 'why is this forum so shit lately' is the best you can do to spark conversation then maybe there is a problem. I'm not saying this thread is shit, even if I did so what? This is a forum and it's my opinion, no? Bilo can have his opinion.. that's great.. but what's he gonna do? Sometimes the forum will be great sometimes it will be shit, no one is forcing you to sit on a forum all day long.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 I'm only here because I broke the old 606 forum by posting about Girls Aloud too much.* By the end it was pretty much unusable, which was a shame because it was great fun. Did anyone else from here go on there? LCFC fans were generally despised, mainly because of a general air of superiority amongst our lot following the Premier League years and in particular the often semi-coherent contributions of a certain Ultra Fox. The folk on there were very nice to me though, and I was once acknowledged as one of two Leicester fans (possibly in the world) that weren't 'twats', which was quite a heart-warming moment. When I first started contributing regularly on here I thought the spirit was much the same as 606. If it has changed since then it's probably mellowed a bit overall, in that it's not quite as angry but at the same time not quite as much fun. I don't think it's in irreversible decline though, maybe just a bit of a fallow period, shall we say. The crops will be rotated soon enough, I'm sure *I wasn't acting alone, your honour
lcfc_jme Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 I don't give a shit what any of you think 'cos, frankly, I hate you all. Especially lildave and Ched, right pair of wankers they are.
Wymsey Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Its much better than the Derby, Forest and Cov inbreds site lets put it that way.
Guest Bilo Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Its much better than the Derby, Forest and Cov inbreds site lets put it that way. Coventry thread about us was probably the most cringeworthy thing I've ever seen on the internet.
Wymsey Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Coventry thread about us was probably the most cringeworthy thing I've ever seen on the internet. Which one are you on about? Their club one or the Championship (i will tell you a story about........) one?
Fosse Boy Posted 18 November 2010 Posted 18 November 2010 Everyone I've met off here in real life has been a diamond, bar none (I think). DB11 remains the best poster I've met in real life. Doubt anyone will better him.
