Trolls and the forum
« on: October 15, 2022, 08:40:46 AM »
I should apologise for the trolls who have slipped through the net of late.

I have taken the decision to close the forum to new registrations until we find out what is actually going to happen.

Unfortunately it's only to be expected.
I've definitely seen wasps fan giving it to them on SBT over the years, so it's no surprise that some will come here to kick us while we're down


Restricting new accounts for the time being is probably a wise move

Well done VV and many thanks.  I can't begin to imagine how you manage to keep on top of this but I'm so grateful that you can .......  and do.

Well done VV and good idea,

Yes indeed. Shows up the inherent weakness of Sports Network.

It's been a genuine privilege to run this place for the last however many years. Not that it's needed much input.

I think I'm gonna miss the community that we've all created as much as the rugby.

VV and others, I'd like to add my thanks for the community aspect especially. I've not been able to get to many games in the last 5 years due to a variety of med issues and I've valued the people that I've met virtually who've been engaging and often very kind.

I do hope there is some version of the future that includes such a forum as it's one of the first things I check in the morning and makes going to newspaper based rugby less necessary

If we do see each other in real life - I'd be glad to stand my round....especially in cider land!

Agree with all of the above. Hope the site can continue and thanks for running it VV. Hopefully we’ll have a team to chat about in the future.
