You can see for yourself.

Unique visitors, which I do have but is not on there. is a bit misleading as everyone uses so many different devices these days. There is a lot of search traffic as well as there are so many pages going back over time. Most of them leave very quickly. So I prefer the forum stats.

While the average number of clicks is pretty constant the posts have dropped off this month (partly down to no Pete granted). If you look on the archive and scroll back a few years, which I did the other day, you can see that there is a marked change between the sort of thread we have now and we did then. I think 200 different people posted in November, it would be interesting to compare with other months.

Quick glance and it looks like there are fewer threads with more posts per thread this year compared to most previous years.

Thesis + antithesis = synthesis.


This board is becoming too Hegelian for my liking. Us Kantians are being marginalised. I'm off.

There's a "Let's count to a million" thread on Non-football.

Now there's a pointless topic.

13900 posts on that thread and the latest number is somehow in the 16000s.

Doesn't that just go to show that you can't quash dissent? If Rob closes a thread attacking the board it'll just rear its head somewhere else. Look at the number of times that Rob has tried to draw a line under a subject only for it to be sparked into new life sometimes by the very act of trying to close a subject off.

You either have to accept it'll happen, or have a completely moderated board where every post has to be approved by a moderator before it's published.

Eventually the threads which are critical trail off naturally unless someone in authority does something to spark it off again. Look at last week. It went very quiet until John Fenty made the decision about the SLO and came on here trying to defend it.



I would never want to quash dissent. However, some posters look at  every thread just to find an opportunity to have a go at JF/The Board. Some threads go so far of piste as to be ridiculous, just to make some anti club point.

I usually don’t take part in the pro v anti-Fenty  threads, simply because people’s views are so entrenched. To be honest when they proliferate the forum I tend to avoid it. It’s not that I don’t have a view, I do and I’ve voiced it, once.

I’m all for free speech but there are many threads that are devoid of debate and discussion and are full of bile and hatred. It’s not surprising a lot of people switch off.

Merry Christmas
