BKK, agree in part but the website wars/factions are being continued by certain people, and the weekend s events made me certaain i had done the right thing. This forum i believe now has no ties to any site or association and WOTW is gone (but intact should TG decide he wants to relaunch it). Unlike TG i never walked away under the abuse. TG was target number 1 i became target number 2. Frankly i am utterly disgusted that people did not come to TGs aid when people started abusing him and spreading rumours to fulfil their agendas.

Radio Wings is technically possible but im sure some people do not want it to happen and others would try to close it.

Bullying and abuse is still ripe and i decided i had had enough of being made the problem and enough o certain people throwing their toys out the pram and throwing their weight about.

In Bruno i believe we have someone that has never taken sides, criticises when its warranted and is level headed.

I hope that certain people do not give him grief now. Agendas continue to come to the fore and its all rather silly. I stand by what is said on the sites main page and its all still going on. Certain people have agendas and egos to boost. Its nothing short of abuse and bullying. This time it wasnt aimed directly at me but it ws the straw that broke the camels back.

 

I beleieve that JGFC has offered the olive branch so to speak in the past and it has been refused, so fair play to the bloke. At one time this forum had a substantial amount of traffic. The question remains as to why some of the previous regulars do not post on here. Maybe with JGFC moving on now is the time for some people to return.Maybe they are happy not to post anymore and would wish to keep opinions to themselves

We have heard JGFC's side of events and there is two sides to every story. I dont wish to know why, but maybe its time to let the past go-how long does this go on for?  Will it be the same in one year/five years time?

All I want to hear about is WUFC

The original forum was WOTW, Abuse started , the forum closed on WOTW then surprise WIE opened a forum, then that closed and WOTW returned? Then that got more abusive posts and James opened one. The WOTW forum was the only forum until the trouble started other forums have come and gone but trouble remains and this has driven many people away.

Other clubs have had similar problems and if you look have hardly anyone posting. It is a shame.

 

I fear we can either go on regurgitating the same ancient history or we can ALL move on. Personally I am of the latter persuasion and from now on will only refer to them if I feel clarification is required. Hopefully in time, and the sooner the better from my point of view, we can consign all talk of website(forum) wars to history where they belong.

Maybe its a case of rose coloured spectacles but I believe there is a demand for an independent forum on which Welling United supporters can participate in an exchange of views, circulating news, and general banter. However, if supporters take the negative attitude that 'others aren't posting so I won't' of course the forum will not flourish.

I know from discissions with Graham that the Club have reservations about forums such as this but provided any debate remains reasoned (which doesn't per se preclude it from being critical) I see no reason for them to have any concerns. There are plenty of independent forums which happily co-exist with official sites and indeed many official sites recognise this with links to independent forums.

I am optimistic that I will not end up talking to myself but if I do then the forum will close. Its up to you fellow supporters out there which way it goes.

VFTS, I wasn't having a go at JGFC but in fact stating what has already been mentioned that people are not posting because of its connections with JGFC.

Bruno, I'm sure we shall see through time whether people decide to post though I don't hold up much hope.

The only way forward is by putting this in the past, like Bruno has stated maybe some form of independent forum will happy both corners?

The Dave D that has posted above was not posted by me, i have kept out of the website wars and believe these postings above were done to cause trouble. Bruno would you please make it not possible to post until you register, to keep these anons away..

Oh dear.

In making this site unregistered you are laying yourself open to the same strife that has befallen the likes of the Conference South board in the past

I have no idea of your technical competence in matters computing but if you are relying on people's good sense to moderate what they put, think again. Rules are only as good as your enforcement against transgressors and, believe me, the are bloody difficult to enforce on an unregulated forum.

 

 

Not when the foul and abusive messages come from the owner though!!!!!

I think i will respond and say to Harvey , your posts are hardly non biased and the majority are aimed at slagging me off.
