This place is DEAD these days

[Big head]

Sad to see.

[stubbo-admin]

I reckon because it's now .co.uk most people may not know the site anymore?

Also, the ones who are left are boring cunts like Swiss.


 

.net still brings you to the site.

[Tomshardware]

Fuck off.

[Cabbige Savage]

As soon as doktor tell & he mentially stay ball and he stop spitting at people he will be back.

Thats true. A load of silent WHO members in fact the large majority  jujst reading what we post. So in a way the regular posters and myself are like Youtube Influencers. 


Time for some Product promotion 

Looking for a great steak at a resonable price and a posh location? (The partner can do the High Street)

FLAT IRON Kensington Steak Restaurant - London Steakhouse

When booking mention you were referred by The Swiss. 

I like your thinking. In fact I am sure that some posters will have some excellent ideas for what some other posters may choose to advertise.

[Swiss.]

That might be true for people that stumble in via a Google search. But I am talking about the people that come in, sign up an account (or have one already) and then come back and read what is posted but never contribute themselves. That's why I referred to them as 'paying punters', they are through the door and consuming content. There is a surpassingly high number of these users. The regular posters are making up a fraction of the unique users and page views.

 

 

That's even worse! I suppose some might be listening to the jukebox from the car park then?

just invent your own site ITK, he can post some vague stuff that is right some of the time and we can all defend him on here. moderate the site so nobody can question him.

people love that shit and will come looking for it.

[XKhammer]

Voyeurs?

I'm not surprised there's PERVERTS amongst us.

How big is your mirror?

[XKhammer]

=12.35px"So I would say we are more like zoo. Us posters are the animals scratching their bollocks as a steady stream of paying punters gawp at us and point then leave to go back home to their civilised ordered lives"

Arf!

 

 

Well you look like a hippo

Or to continue the pub analogy, a small handful of the punters that arrive actually come into the pub, far more take a quick look in through the windows, decide (correctly) that it isn't for them, and head off to find somewhere nice to go for a drink?

[Bungo]

Well, it can look that way. But from looking at the stats I have another analogy. There are closer to a 100 unique posters on a typical day, occasionally more, some quiet days a a bit less. But there are a lot more quiet users who have accounts and log in to read what is being posted but for various reasons won't post themselves. They far outweigh the regular posters.

So I would say we are more like zoo. Us posters are the animals scratching their bollocks as a steady stream of paying punters gawp at us and point then leave to go back home to their civilised ordered lives.

I think between you all you've hit the nail on the head, so we're a flat roof dive of a pub kept afloat by the same twenty regulars filling up their day with shit debates, fights and insults, Zico doing his pub quiz in the corner,  occasionally a whizzened old regular may wander in but that will be about the best of it.

I think all of these sites, fan channels, podcasts etc feed off what is happening with West Ham, which is zilch at the moment. 

Kumb, in the brown stuff are also deadsville right now. Your man on hammers chat has had a breakdown as there's nothing for him to talk about. 

The same 5/6 people arguing among themselves all the time doesn't help either 
 

[Far Cough UKunt]

A bit like fanzines had its day, I think football forums might be heading the same way?

[only1billybonds]

HIA.

A lot of people focus on podcasts as well which can take upna big chunk of time. I get through at least 4 a day at work. Throw in finding time to read a book,listen to music,socialise or watch tv/film and you can see why forum traffic slows down. 

[XKhammer]

My type of pub then, Bungo.

Much better than the metropolitan wanky bar type places where you have to queue to pay £8 a pint (for some shit like Brewdog) and then have to pay to wash your hands after you've taken a piss.

Can't imagine you washing your hands after taking a piss let alone having to pay for it

[Bungo]

Lots of other reasons too of course, but for a new visitor this forum is the equivalent of walking into a miserable flat-roofed pub and all the resident derelicts turning around and telling you in unison to get the fuck out.

‘Stay for a drink Sir?’ Probably not.

 

You've just described The Elms in Witham...

Sounds like I nailed it?

[violator]

Or shaving Ryan's privates

[Nurse Ratched]

maybe there can be some kind of induction programme for new posters?

It would look like the opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan.

It’s a very depressing forum, full of Victor Meldrew types who find joy in nothing.

two - I know it's not football, but the bird watching thread is pretty joyful.
