The Voice Of Reason Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Well best of luck for Saturday Bryn; but I really don't see what your personal health and family wedding have got to do with anything Speedway related in this instance? My post referred to you in dispatches given your closer (than many of our fans on here) relationship with the promotion; coupled with your blasé attitude with the closure of the forum; and it being replaced by Facebook and Twitter. Given Tony's experience, outlined above, it just cements my opinion that such platforms of 'social media' are nothing but a camouflage for meaningful communication. Censorship clearly reigns supreme; and will no doubt continue to do so across both of these biased smoke-screens. And for our promotion to produce such a weak, untruthful reason for our forums closure is basically treating those of us who regularly used it (including your good self) with nothing less than contempt. Sorry to learn that you are so angry over someone simply expressing a point of view; I just perceive such a pile of utter bullsh!t from our promotion to be extremely patronising.

I like you mate was annoyed when the forum shut but clearly not at much as yourself, if you feel that strongly why don't you go to the fans forum and ask Cook or the next home meeting? I have spoke to him a number of times before meetings and he has always been happy to answer any questions I had. It's not really nothing to do with Bryn and what his opinion is matters the same as mine and yours, no offence Bryn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussex bulldog Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Upse the forum has closed? Start your own. Launch you own Facebook page. It's not that difficult. Indeed that is what we did at Eastbourne when the official forum was closed by Mr Cook. Thankfully the new promotion at Arlington are keen to embrace the internet even more than the old.

LisaColette Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Not true, you attack anyone and everyone who dares to disagree with the (more often than not) nonsense you post. Your Matt F butt kissing (on here and on our own forum) is embarrassing. The Poole forum itself has been on the verge of closure more than once and is it a coincidence that you're always at the centre of things when these threats by the webmaster are made? You then disappear for a few days to let the dust settle and then you reappear like a bad smell and it starts all over again. Lisa is 100% correct, but she's too polite to say things directly unlike myself. I haven't been on Poole forum for a while now, but I know Starman causes trouble on there as a certain poster comments on it on twitter and have seen for myself in the past. But as for being polite, I just too lazy to debate with Starman as it is like talking to a brick wall! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOBBY Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 New forum created, here's the link: http://lakesidehammerfans.freeforums.net/ Hopefully all those on the old forum can find and have fun using this new site I've messaged a few of the old crowd who were on it before to let them know, and joined myself. Looking forward to some good discussions again. Notice I say discussions and not arguments !! Lol. One thing I do want to say though is another possibility that needs to be put forward about the closure of the old forum.....it could have been because the admin guys who ran it and moderated it where necessary ( and I believe there was originally just two fans who ran it ) may have come to the position in their lives whereby they could no longer spare the time. We all get to that at some time in our lives. It's worth thinking about and now the new one is up and running, it's probably best to leave the past in the past and move forward. See you all on the new forum. Joining now.....well done Kev. Are we getting a Hackney section as well? Let's see Kommandant Cook try and close this one down! Not worth having an 'Ackney Sqwarks section mate......it won't carry that many posts !!! Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
