Hey new forum members.

[Sonyc]

Just out of interest does anyone go on the other forum, is it otbc or something? I just wondered whether there are arguments on there

I look here and on otbc and used to even when a Pinkun poster. I like to read mostly what other posters say who I have come to know over the years. That includes you, Morty and so on. The fact is I've always been more a 'listener' or observer so tended not to want to get drawn into conflicts with people. Taking sides is a bit primary school. And views are just views and we are all different anyway.

Ever since the Pinkun has gone down we've won every game! That's about the one good thing they've done in the last year. The site has become so unreliable.

"We haven't lost a game since the pinkun forum went down" Brilliant

There were two pinkun "personalities" that came here, some years ago, both of whom I have met in real life. One was, frankly, acting like a pompous bully and the other was moping around, from thread to thread, crying about how he was being oppressed. They both got told to stop it, and leave their bullshit on the pinkun forum. Neither ever came back.

We're here to discuss football and have a bit of a laugh hopefully, I'm not interested in egos dominating people or opinion, or petty, 20 year, feuds.

Agreed on pink un you could click on a ncfc thread and people would be on there not even talking about the subject just squabbling and attacking each other,also with pink un I used to get bad gateway error come up quite often ,this is how a ncfc forum should be

 

[Cackleborough]

Would hope many keep on this forum, even if the Pinkun is eventually restored. It’s absolute rubbish what the Pinkun staff are giving as excuses in this day of technology
The moderator treats it’s readers as kids.

Indeed. Pretty much the same way Zoe writes in OTBC. The 'church mouse' culture associated with NCFC in general needs to change.

I think someone summed it up in another thread by saying there are only about 20 people that post there regularly and they all seem to hate each other

Actually I said a dozen

It is quite funny, I was on the pinkun forum on its day of inception, if it ever gets up and running I am on page 1 of the threads. In fact I was part of it in its previous guise when every single post had to be approved before it was published. I met up with quite a few folk from the pinkun, we'd meet in the Nelson, post game for a few beers and a moan., we became known as "The inner circle" I became good friends with quite a few, and remain so until this day. Some matchdays there could be 15 or 20 people there, and there would always be somebody, from the forum, maybe just visiting for the day, who would come along and say "Hi", I even met Lakey lol.

But, anyway, the point of my rambling is that when I came to the group that met up after every game, I naturally assumed that they all liked each other, but as time went by, it turned out that they actually didn't, and eventually the group all went their separate ways!

On the pink'un there was always somebody trying to drag politics into any random thread you care to name, & any attempt to debate always reverted to mud slinging within a few posts. It was extremely tedious.
This forum seems to be much more sensible, with nobody trying to ram their political opinions down the collective throat. Long may it continue.

I enjoy a good political debate, but leave it in the politics thread. Very few people have the actual ability to accept a differing opinion though, so it just ends up with two people shouting at each other and not listening. My best mate, Mr Duncan Edwards of the pinkun has completely the opposite politics to me, and we have some cracking debates in the pub, whilst never actually falling out!

This is a big problem at the moment, people can't just agree to disagree, they have to film you on their phone while shoving a placard in your face

 

[Lazza]

I have fairly strong political views - but i won't put them on any forum. All that does is alienates you and creates enemies with those of an opposing view. From that point onward, you have an enemy who will argue against you regardless of what you say or what the subject is. I think that's one of the problems with PU - all of the main protagonists have had arguments at some point on a non-football related subject, and they can't just leave that and move on.

 

[the bristol nest]

My mates range from Restore to Liberal left. Being in Bristol, I find the Greens to be difficult to engage with but will still try. We discuss and don't need to fall out over it.

 

[Ricardo]

On every forum you will find people who you soon realise that it is pointless to engage with. I think we all know who they are.

John Rambo gives good advice here, "Let it go, Let it go".

May I introduce myself ?
As I have lived in South Ayrshire Scotland now for over 40 yrs and at my age don't get to see many matches either home or away now, legs not like they used to be. From my avatar you an see I liked Jimmy Bone, in fact i met up with him and had a few chats about his Norwich days when he was manager at Stenhousemuir. No an original City supporter but while in RAF one of my mates was, so after leaving RAF ended up working & living in Shipdham and started going to Carrow Road with my mate, eventually become a season ticket holder and really felt at home and have loved club and followed them ever since. I must admit I am not that keen and the Pinkun Forum, agree with most of the above comments, go back if and when, doubt it but i have to admit I do like Connor / Paddy & Adam.

Hi Bob! We have a similar story, I wasn't a Canaries fan until I was posted to RAF Coltishall in the early 90's, and my then girlfriend took me along to a match.
