I will be over 200 years old when the ban is up, but I sleep in an oxygen tent every night, and take multivitamins. I'm determined to make it and post again.The terrible "Other" reason

To help me cope with the absence of the Pink un message board, I'd considered subscribing to the PinkUn stuff behind the pay wall. I wonder if that is happening with others so increasing subscribers and whether it might explain the time it is taking them to get the message board up and running again.

I suppose it's a possibility as I wouldn't bother with the guff churned out everyday, otherwise.

I am sure they are working very, very hard to rectify the problem...

You might know Carl Rogers and his theory of personality change that talks about moving from “fixity” to “changingness” during (person-centred) personal therapy.
Spot on IMHO. Stay open and don’t be afraid to change your mind.

There's a view (I believe) that we get more conservative as we age (both politically and behaviour wise) but I'm unsure it's useful. People do change though and it's amazing!
Off Topic Edit: Fantastic news about Harry Kane (just watching him now) and a great bloke with it.
No, not read Rogers' work but know about his overall principles. I was a counsellor for 25 years and used many different theories as a basis for working. What used to work for one person didn't mean it did for another.

Definitely agree about Harry, gets a lot of unnecessary stick, and I'm not sure why. An absolute model professional.

Whilst I think it was true in the past (politically anyway) I’m not sure it will be the case in the future. With large numbers priced out of owning a home, not having kids and being stuck in insecure employment I can’t see them suddenly changing their voting habits to protect the status quo. People won’t become conservative if you’ve given them nothing to conserve.
I’m glad for Harry Kane, wasn’t good enough for our club though was he!

He was only 19 and basically just showed he needed another Championship loan.
Watch Crnac leave and then pop up a few years later bossing it at Napoli or something, it's the Norwich way

I’ve just migrated here from the Pink ‘Un. Just wanted to say what a well thought out forum this is. So easy to read and navigate and looks fantastic. Makes the old Pink ’ Un message board look archaic. Well done.

It is frustrating that the pinkun could, quite easily, use this software, and look a lot better.

You'd think that this would be the perfect opportunity for them to do just that, but I suspect they'll just install one of the php patches there are coming out at the mo.

Politically speaking, yeah, I think you've a point there. The Conservative Party has often been associated with much older members and the property owning suburbs.
Psychologically though, do you not think that we all have a propensity to get stuck in our ways? The same patterns on repeat and a (often misguided) belief that we can trust our years of experience and knowledge gained? It is also difficult to argue with someone who falls back on their experience most of the time. Our experiences can be limited ones.
Anyway, this isn't about football but about what is wrong with the Pinkun forum. I believe it's been going downhill for a number of years. This place is a little bit of fresh air, and a change is no bad thing.

The housing crisis is a weird one.
At the simplest level you've got middled age boomers who don't like the idea of sufficient houses being built because they its the lack of supply which enables them to say they've got a £500k house (in some cases relying on downsizing as part of their retirement planning)
Even young people who struggled to get on it with a low deposit are worried about the prospect of mass house building because a 10%-15% fall in values could push them into negativity equity, and then they are stuck.
There's plenty of people who have a vested interest, not always selfishly but often due to circumstance, who sort of want/need there to be a housing crisis.
But then when you look at current birth rates, which are HUGELY below replacement rate, and consider the fact that boomers will die off, and the demographic crisis will peak in 2054... it feels like a long time away, but if we embark on a decade of rapid house building from say the point of the next GE in 2029 you are only a decade or so beyond that house building from having far more houses than you need unless people start popping out LOADS of kids.
Bit of a chicken or the egg situation. We sort of need to be really confident that increasing house supply with 1930s levels of building will actually result in a significant increase in the birth rate to justify it if we are aren't thinking short termist. I'm not actually convinced that it will, because birth rates have fallen across the globe (other than in Africa) including in countries which don't have a shortage of vacant property. You could argue that the internet is to blame for the collapse in birth rates, people sitting online all night instead of out shagging
We could essentially see slum clearances by the 2060s in half empty towns which have seen population decline!
