Interesting is not the word I'd use he certainly livened up the Cas forum on RLfans, although I'm sure on this occasion he won't want to he can take all the credit for destroying it to the extent nobody uses it now having got sick of the unwanted, and unwarranted opinions usually sprinkled with a generous dose of insults, so forgive the genuine Cas fans that don't share those romantic views of yours of vastman being a lovable and likeable rogue who just wants to make a bit of mischief.

You are really trying to blame Vasty for destroying a forum?


The Cas forum on here was dying years ago and the majority went over to the Nutjob forum ages ago.

Exactly, I can cope with the 'lively' forum members but WUM's and Trolls are the reason for forums like this dying IMO.

Probably more social media than anyone individual.

Barnsley next season whilst we take the currupt inept inbred led council to court.

Up the Trin

Says who ??

You believe what you want pet regarding vastman, be interesting next time you or your mate have to warn him again regarding his abusive attitude towards Wakey fans on here.

Would that be corrupt inbred WAKEFIELD MDC.

Pet?



You don't like Vasty, and you are stomping your feet because I don't dislike him.

Feel free not to visit or post on this forum, no one is forcing you.

Well I have to admit I don't feel the love for him that you obviously do pet

You make it sound like you Cas fans got together & actually had a discussion about Vastman or something.



Let's be right when the Cas forum had a few posters before they moved to the echo chamber, there was plenty that used to dish it out on here, so spare me the Cas forum was destroyed by one man bull. Frankly, it's just cringe-worthy to suggest that.
It's already been said, but the Cas forum was dying years ago, when posters moved over to the Nutjob forum, so they could slag all the clubs (Trinity) they wanted off in peace. Similarly to how Saints board has gradually died since they started their own forum, plus the rise of Facebook as an alternative at all Clubs.

If people are so put out by him, why don't they use the report button, if he's really broken any rules? Otherwise, we're moving into serious snowflake territory.

Super, now that's clear either contribute something worthwhile to this forum or lose the chance to. Pet.

Looks like you'll have the last word on it then pet


I'll bet you bullied all the girls at your school

I remember when this was the alternative forum to the official one run by the club. It used to be refreshing to discuss things in support of the club or in criticism of it without fear of being rounded upon, ridiculed or threatened. I’ve got to say it’s increasingly looking as though the only opinions allowed are those that sing a party line and offer no trace of criticism for the club and those who run it, justified or not.

When that happens, if it hasn’t happened already, it’s no longer fit for purpose as a forum.
Shame.

I really can't understand why people who have a minority opinion can't just accept it as just that.
I blame Scott Grix for us not making the top 4. I would much rather have Max Jowitt at full back and never wanted turncoat Grix re-signing. I get slated. I'll not be jacking in just because I've been ridiculed or am probably alone with these thoughts. FFS guys grow a pair!

You're absolutely right, just because you dint tow the party line and get criticised doesn't make it a closed shop, those that think that people are getting shot down for not being in "the clique" are not putting their point of view across because they see Andy easier conclusion.
Opinions are like bum holes, we've all got one but we often get offended by others showing us theirs.
I ran a biking forum from 2005-2011, Facebook and twitter killed it in much the same way this forum is being effected (rugby league is at least 6 years behind in Moreno ways than one) the exact same things are being said on here that were said on my forum back then. It's not the case, people find other ways to express themselves and see that as the way forward, it's called moving with the times, something that RL seems to struggle with at times. If an opinion is stated then either counter it with another opinion (not slag the poster) or accept it for what it is, purely an opinion

Yes, I remember the old Club forum.



As for the underlined bit, you must be seeing something I'm not, or I'm not looking for it. Imo Plenty of people have had different opinions on players and the Club and I see no kind of group think going on, just different personalities and differing opinions. I see the odd person that offer nothing but unjustified finger pointing at the club of late, especially where the ground is concerned and as a forum people have a right to call them up on said opinion. I've also never seen anyone threatened ever on here, as far as I know, they'd be straight banned.

I'll bet many of us were posters back then and have stuck it out. Vasty is probably one of a few who've kept the same name. TRB another.
The problem for that Forum was that it was officially linked to the club, hence it had to be careful what was published. Wasn't the guy who ran it (Dale?) actually employed by the club?

I did it after Dale, cost me a small fortune and definitely not worth all the hassle, I remember one poster who is still around now under a different guise, he repeated a conversation I had in the flats bar on messenger, very creepy.

I remember Dale... I think I met him once.... in the Pearman era!

Did he leave under a "cloud" , or am I mistakenly getting confused with another I T man ?

Sorry mate, can't remember doing that.

Can't help comparing John Pearman with Rodney Walker. Supposedly honourable men who, for unknown reasons, shat on the club.

Its usually the same posters who hearts are clearly in the right place who are getting rounded on far too quickly on this forum, people should be made to feel welcome and quite often aren't as there views don't suite the norm

It's a definate shane

It's all getting decidedly snowflakey around here; surely, if you have a view, and sufficient bottle to share it on a public forum, you should also expect that someone might challenge that view - which gives you the opportunity to defend, argue or tell them to do one?

In what other walk of life do people expect to express themselves in any way they choose, and for that to go completely unchallenged?! Maybe it's a symptom of the echo chamber in which many people now live - associate with people who agree with you, get fed your news and media by oligarchs and algorithms based on what they know you like and eventually, you lose the ability to engage with people who have a different viewpoint.

In other news - Wollo - your views on Scott Grix are ridiculous; delete your account at once.
