Why have so many posters left this site?

Post Big head »

Anyone speak to the usual mob who used to flood this place on a daily basis?

Me personally I had a kid, went through hell and back then started up back in Estate agency, so only really now got more time to post albeit now and then, mainly because it's so quiet on here now days.

Forum list for example:

Other Sports (Any sport/non West Ham)

Off-topic (Charlotte Church’s tits)

Politics (Bring back Hammer and Thickle)

Len’s Musings (Whatever Len wants to post about)
The old layout was better. This new layout is fucking shit.

Its definitely busy when there's a match or big news involving west ham . As you'd expect for a west ham site. I like the music and film stuff so will look in there as well, the 'covers' thread recently attracted a lot of interest. 

Otherwise it can be a bit westham-nonce-line.co.uk

Nah, with all the winning we are witnessing globally the loony left will continue to disappear into oblivion and will soon be nothing more than a nasty after taste.

Their numbers are crumbling and their days are numbered. Soon they will all be gone from this site and we will all be better off for it. 

Winners win!
Not sure I agree with that, whilst the likes of Hammer and Picked for example were utter cunts, it was entertaining and created discussions and a lot of arguing, which this place is best known for.

Other than the politics thread, the other threads I've looked through have been about as boring as Swiss on a WHO slurps night out.

This place is like an online pub and you engage in conversation with those you’re interested in exchanging opinions, ideas, thoughts with etc. But WHO has always had wankers, just like the annoying cսnt who talks bollocks and ponces pints in every pub. 
This is true, as long as there are at least a handful of people that you wish to interact with.

I can only assume it's because of a very long standing habit, long after my interest in the main topic has waned massively. Still happy if West Ham do well, but I have no interest in dissecting anything either during or after the 90 mins has finished.

Simply cannot be arsed with any childish squabbling over politics or indeed anything else. It ALL achieves absolutely less than zero. Mind you, I took Nurse's suggestion, and careful blocking of certain posters has raised the overall standard of the content quite substantially.

Although it is absolutely dead during the international break. To be honest we would be better unplugging everything and saving the electricity until it a couple of days before the weekend. 

International breaks can fuck right off. Just makes me resent the England team.

It’s the only West Ham site worth a visit if you’re not into Social Media. 

it’s always had its fair share of people moaning, but this is literally the best place online for West Ham and non-West Ham content. 

One thing this site should have done along time ago is have a room for politics, not just a thread. It’s a big draw for discussion, so a room to create the kind of engagement people are after would be a winner, and the front page not being clogged up by it. I’d also stop users being able to view all forum posts at once and force people into designated room, which is what most forums do.

For context on this. I have been tracking the amount of posters on the site since its relaunch. Although we without doubt lost regulars and old timers over that period, the top day for the number of different posters posting content on this site was as recent as 22nd August this year (Chelsea game) and the second highest day was 26th August (Wolves game). Make of that what you will.

Bolty, the fact is that this Board is gradually evolving itself out of existence. See the reasons northbankfrank and Council Scum give and that just about covers it.

The old site went super slow and killed everyone's enthusiasm. 

West Ham are absolutely pathetic in every conceivable way which has killed everyone's enthusiasm. 

Everyone got old. And so did their enthusiasm. 

P. S
Fuck you Bolty you helmet.

Three main reasons I think.

1. The old site was pathetic and it was left way too late to update it.
2. The likes of Hammer and Pickle and the pathetic and endless bickering over politics.
3. The weird, obsessive, stalking behaviour by some of the sad act always on members of the forum.

You do know there's a difference from leaving the site and not posting on the site? But then I remembered  Bolty you have the IQ of an amoeba.
