Guest ttfn Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 Sorry if you felt I overreacted, tone can be difficult to pick up via one line of text, though what you wrote came across as just catty. Perhaps enforced by the fact it's been said and meant in earnest before by people bemoaning a supposed "in crowd." There is definitely an in crowd. As ever it is those in the "in crowd" who are the only ones denying its existence. Like any good joke (not that this was one!) it's based in truth. There's a lot of snobbery from the old posters on here towards the newer ones and I think it keeps a lot of people away from the forum, especially kids. The "safehouse" in particular is full of people pointing and laughing at newer posters taking their time to discuss our defeats or draws rather than actually contributing to the discussion themselves. Anyway, just my two cents. As I said, bringing back some of these supposedly brilliant old threads might be a good way to get FT back to how it used to be, setting a tone for newer forum members to follow rather than making them feel excluded.
FoxyPV Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 I'm watching Take Me Out, on my own, on a Saturday night, I've had nothing to drink all weekend and now, yet again, I'm overlooked on a reminiscing list. You poor, poor man.
Rincewind Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 Some of them used to post on the Official Leicester forum. I went under the name of Ancas de rana (frogs legs) Met some of them too but I know at least two that don't post on here. Whether they post under another name I don't know. As far as I know the forum is no longer running. I stopped posting because of the trolls and the amount of abusive posts with nothing being done about it. FT has at least got mods that actually read the posts.

I did indeed forget you. Please accept my apologies. We've not beered often though have we? We should beer.
AoWW Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 Why don't you just have an old pals sub-forum for anyone who used to be on here in 2006 so the rest of us don't have to listen to how much better it used to be when it was just those legends on here? Yet you joined the forum in 2006.
The People's Hero Posted 23 February 2013 Author Posted 23 February 2013 Yet you joined the forum in 2006. He wants in on it! Good idea about bumping some of the better old threads though. It very often doesn't go down well...
James. Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 I did indeed forget you. Please accept my apologies. We've not beered often though have we? We should beer. Our swords crossed, so to speak, on a couple of occasions, primarily involving Selhurst Park which was almost a spiritual home for the old clique. To be fair I haven't seen anyone off here for bloody ages, generally too busy to make many games nowadays, plus football just doesn't do it for me like it used to. That said next time there's a meet I'd be keen.

But it is about my only chance to really let my hair down - and to see my brother which is always good. And drunk. Palace away? Coming up isn't it? Shall we go and meet at Victoria as is often the plan but then just not go to the game?
Guest ttfn Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 He wants in on it! Good idea about bumping some of the better old threads though. It very often doesn't go down well... Yeah let me in! I'll drop this as soon as I'm in. With regards to AoWWs point, joining and actively contributing are obviously different. I suspect that now, as then, plenty join and don't post much for a while whilst they feel out the vibe of the forum.
SystonFox Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 Ah the good old days. I enjoyed just reading that list, post it again.
Danizen Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 Reminiscing about old friends and trying to get back in touch with some who I've lost contact with is cliquey? I don't have time to be friends with everyone - and I'd consider all those I've listed to be good people I'd have a beer with before/after a game. I don't see the harm. Sorry to any who it has offended though - what I'm really after is for some of those to PM me if they are still about with a mobile number, if they are happy to do so. If that annoys anyone, I suggest you don't read. Mods - if I've breached any rules, please delete thread. It was a throwaway comment, pal. I just had nothing else to contribute.
Guest Col city fan Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 Why don't you just have an old pals sub-forum for anyone who used to be on here in 2006 so the rest of us don't have to listen to how much better it used to be when it was just those legends on here? This.. It smacks of a 'kiss yer arse' thread.

The People's Hero Posted 23 February 2013 Author Posted 23 February 2013 This.. It smacks of a 'kiss yer arse' thread. Thanks for the constructive comments, which have been noted. I note further, that you are not interested. Remind me to comment similarly next time you reminisce about anything, including 'when I had that friend,' 'when I once made someone laugh with a comment - or did they sneeze?' or anything about any LCFC result, season, player or manager. If nostalgia, memories and the past are so unimportant then it makes the present pretty fu cking meaningless, no? Goodbye!
Jon the Hat Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 We did used to have more fun. Maybe we are getting old.

Katy Cobbo Finners Tph Lisa Alexikokopops Daggers Nationwider Thracian All proper old school decent fellas. And Katy and Lisa too! Can't believe I left off Cobbo, Katy and Scowy. I genuinely thought of them! Shows I can think quicker than I can type - which just shows how slow my typing is (I'll give you that one for free!)

Shall we go and meet at Victoria as is often the plan but then just not go to the game? That sounds to die for. Unfortunately I'll be knee deep in my own filth on my stag do that weekend.
SystonFox Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 I was just trying to think of posters I had either met or been in the company of. What happened to Micky Ruddle? Used to always shout ATMOSPHERE at the back of sk2 years back. Used to try and get plenty of chants going too, decent lad
The People's Hero Posted 23 February 2013 Author Posted 23 February 2013 That sounds to die for. Unfortunately I'll be knee deep in my own filth on my stag do that weekend. Is it in the UK and can I (and all of the old crew) come?

Rincewind Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 Reminiscing by others does not bother me. Nothing to do with me if people want to remember friends. If you think a thread is clicky don't read it.
The People's Hero Posted 23 February 2013 Author Posted 23 February 2013 This won't make sense to some others, but... Does Bren post here? Ben? Esther? Those that know will know who I'm on about?
Rincewind Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 Think I remember Ben on the LCFC site. Friends with BF?
MC Prussian Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 This won't make sense to some others, but... Does Bren post here? Ben? Esther? Those that know will know who I'm on about? I haven't read from Bren in ages. He must've stopped a few years ago. Ben and Esther don't really post any longer - they're both too busy following hockey and working (Ben) or working and taking care of the kid (Esther). Think I remember Ben on the LCFC site. Friends with BF? They used to be together, but split up about a year ago.
James. Posted 23 February 2013 Posted 23 February 2013 Is it in the UK and can I (and all of the old crew) come? It's in Lisbon. Our criteria was a liberal society and a collapsed economy so I think we've done well. Everyone is welcome. Regarding old members did anyone ever hear from Barton Fox again? He was a character.
