Default Hoo roo

This is with out a doubt, the slowest site on the planet.
I reckon a glacier would over run it.

Get some life about you, you lot.

Chaddy would give this place a boost.

Did you have a good time buddy?

Great site, just too slow.

Willow makes it good at the moment but the novelty of trying to communicate with the simpleton will wear off.

It wasn't half bad, I found a restaurant willing to serve minors like me all the beer they can swill.

I agree with you entirely on how slow this place is, but it's just a different type of forums. There are ones where tapping F5 will reveal new posts, this just isn't one of them.

The better half and I did 7500 k's around QLD last month.
It's a great state but the grog is expensive.

Yeah your right, it is a different sort of forum. Maybe I should look at quality and not quantity.

Strewth, a 3,000 k trip was too much for me, but I never had much of a head for driving.

The sad thing is, this is the last forum that I'm still active on leaving me wanting for a forum fix.

I'm sorry to see you feel this way. However, running a AFL forum is somewhat complicated task. Not only must you handle persistent software issues, you must handle "cyber" individuals and their personalities. Its not as easy as it might look.

Sadly, the internet is a wash of very mixed personalities with very mixed motivations.

Written English is very much down to personal interpretation and what offends one, another may laugh off as a meaningless piece of fun.

Our goals have always been fairly simple - discuss AFL football in a mature semi-informal yet respectful and tolerant manner. Being the "biggest" is of little importance, if a proportion of your posts contain "childish" school yard personal attacks.

If you think we can improve the site we are more than happy to listen to your feedback.

Looking forward to your reply.

I don't know what happened a while ago with a few of the old guard but TF hasn't been the same since they were banned. We lost a few good guys as a result too. Still a few great guys here now though.

Sorry I don't post more guys. I'm not really all that talkative in real life so don't tend to have all that much to say on forums either but I really enjoy seeing other people's views. Originally joined a few seasons back to get involved in the drem team side of things. I'm a lot more active when there's a game involved

Hope the current crop of members sticks around and keeps the quality of posting at a high level. BF has thousands of members but most of them talk ****. When this site is active it's much better

I am not hanging sh1te here , but this site is slow.
Why? I don't know as I have not been here long.
But when you get more feedback about AFL on a rugby site than this site, there is something wrong.
