to start a completely new one


 


with NO links to this one


 


with known moderaters - not hiding behind any names (look at other sites)


 


With a 'crap' filter and football being the only topic


 


Then and only then it MIGHT work

Like someone else said if these guys from the other website meet or talk with Bruno maybe we can get another one going where everyone will post, I know people will reply saying we should use this but it's just not being used as much.

I agree with Harvey and it's worth giving it a try setting up a new one with known people but also keep this one open as a backup?

Its pretty plain that JGFC is not involved up front on this forum and Bruno is doing a cracking job. I'm sure the man has a life outside of this forum so can only denote so much time.


The answer is simple, no one will meet, which means no new forum. There is no gtee if there was that it wouldnt start all over again so if you want to post  about WUFC facts and opinions fair enough do so but dont start throwing abuse about other things and dragging up the past.


For me I am still quite happy to continue to post and read other people's opinion about the team I support

From what I can read of this situation is that as sad as it is people still regard this as jgfc's forum, what ever control he has behind the scenes.

Do these people have a problem with bruno too?

All we are pointing out is that a new forum run by both sides may finish this once and for all? Then you get the best of both worlds, well sort of, atleast no one can say it wouldn't have a fair balance, and may get people posting again.

Do you have the skills or time to set up and run a new forum? Is there any gtess that what hapened to the WIE site, Marshy's and James's abuse would not start again?


I know that I dont. Its quite simple if people want to post let them if they dont well to me its less people who want to express an opinion. We all see the number of views so someone must be expressing interest.


There is no chance of getting two sides together, its been suggested many times


I just wish people who want to live in the past and spit bile would do it elsewhere

Who are these two sides, is Bruno even a part of it?

Has anyone tried to make contact to sort this out?

If you look back most abuse has been from annonymous postings so maybe a new registered only version might do the trick?

It's just a shame we dont have a forum used by everone again, in times of peace many of the forums were a fun place to be, whilst of late it's just been a bit dead and doesn't look like changing as much as people hope they would.

I run this forum and NOT JGFC who remains the owner and has dealt with the technical side such as adding my banner. He has contributed as a registered poster and will no doubt continue to do so. The situation is as when TG handed the WOTW site to JGFC but remained the owner, total control of what appeared was handed over.

I am a long standing and independent minded Welling United supporter. I have no side and therefore no axe to grind in the JGFC/Russ battleground. I have on occasion openly criticised both parties when I have disagreed with them and supported them when I have agreed with them which is what an exchange of views is all about. Sadly the situation seems to be irreconcilable on Russ’ part despite several attempts on JGFC’s part. I will not be dragged into their differences and I take strong exception to the attempt to intimidate me into ostracising JGFC which as was made at the last home match.

Why fix what ain’t broke? The forum is used, admittedly by a small group of posters who want to put the past where it belongs, are forward thinking and constructive (which doesn’t mean that they can’t be critical) but the numbers are increasing slowly. The viewing figures are sky high and I suspect have reached heights that WOTW, WIE, and Welling Online never reached thanks to the anti forum posts. It is my sincere hope that some of those viewing can see through the ‘crap’ (to use Harvey’s word for non football items), see that there are genuine threads regarding the Club and football in general, and make the decision to register an ID and join in. Only time will tell but all the while there are those willing to post, preferably with registered ID’s, the forum will remain open for business.

For those who regard the forum as needing the prerequisite of arming yourselves with a cross and garlic the answer is quite simple don’t bother visiting and if you want a place to express your bile set up a forum. There are plenty of examples of clubs having more than one forum.

I think those who are using the forum in the spirit in which it was set up are probably sick to the back teeth of all the negative anonymous postings repeating the same old things and not answering questions put to them. I’ve been more than generous in the amount of anonymous openly hostile anti this forum postings I’ve allowed but this will change.

I am afraid that as soon as I posted the above that i knew what was coming


 


Bruno - Start up your OWN forum on your OWN with no one else then it just MIGHT have a chance


 


The answers given are, well, as i said bollox


 


Yes I too miss a Welling forum, discussing games etc etc but i will not (and 99% of others will not too) partake in the deluded ****e that is on this form


 


It was only a suggestion but the same 5 answered


 


I wish i hadn't bothered

Bruno,

Setting up your own independent one maybe the solution, one where neither jgfc, russ or anyone else on a "Side" or "Faction" is invloved with the admin. This would then surely give a balanced forum as you seem the only "fair" and "balanced" person willing to give up their time running a forum.

This was not a personal attack at anyone but I think it's worth a try to see if it works, so long as we can guarantee neither russ, jgfc, james, marsh or anyone else upsets the balance of the forum by being admins.

In the past it would seem each "side" had their own forum e.g. wie and wotw, if an independent one was created then no one on these "sides" can take ownership, so long as its registered only, for obvious reasons.

This is a valid argument I have posted and one that can be debated, and may just be the solution to our problems.

What's your thoughts?

What's all this faction stuff? I know Jgfc can let rip, i've heard about fans punching others, some fans threatening other fans at games and stuff, plus we have all the stupid forum abuse. Its all legend, there is a forum here ffs!, as has been said, start one or post on here or go away. Let each faction have their own bloody forum if thats what they want.


BUT can people stop this close the forum, start a forum, russ, Jgfc, bullcrap! What is it acheiving? It just stops us moving forwards.


One or two fans do not make up the support of Welling, yes we have a few silly boys who seem to cause grief but the fact that is stopping people posting is a shame. Many are to blame and a few try to keep the fire burning. Neither Russ, James, Jgfc or the anons will go away. So everyone else should register and post, if people start being silly then i am sure Bruno will moderate them sensible and sanction them if needed.


The forum has received more visits and posts recently, perhaps Bruno has some figures? I feel if just a few people register and join in the community then the anons will lose.


I think Bruno even said to people to start their own forum, may i suggest google as a starting point.

Harvey. i have not a clue who you are or if you are  anon too, but for someone that won't partake in the forum you seem to post enough against it. What are you trying to acheive?


Grow up, fool and stay off of the school pc's.

I belive my comments are valid, and worth a try to see if it brings everyone back?

What's to lose?

Ah, so you would be that person? To be fair, there are few people not involved in any side. Or who are not close to people that are. Stop stirring and piss off.

There is no need for that! Delete that crap above.

To the other person, I am not stirring, I am pointing out some valid points that may just work? Don't dismiss it as it may solve our problems.

I think I have made my stance on this issue perfectly clear.

JGFC has no part in the day to day running or moderation policy of the forum. If he does start to interfere (and I don't believe he will) then I will be off, wiping the egg from my face as I depart.

The forum ain't broke and I see no need to set up a new one but if some people feel there is a need for a new forum then more power to their elbow in setting one up, maintaining it and moderating it. Like all forums not just WUFC ones, which some of you seem to be ignoring, they will run the risk of anons, spamming etc and will have to draw up their own strategy for dealing with such situations.

The forum is here for those who want to discuss (and sometimes inform about) matters WUFC, football in general, and during the silly season like the press even quirky matters such as what sandwich filling you prefer. I have absolutely no intention of going off and setting up a new forum to satisfy the paranoia those who refuse to post or will only post as anons purely because JGFC owns the forum. Its a matter of right or wrong stance on my part depending on your point of view but I will continue to run this forum until such time as my personal circumstances force me to quit or I get egg on my face and in that case I doubt that I would expend my time and energy on another forum.

And how do you know that he hasn't already?

The master of anonymous, I'd be surprised if he hasn't already.

As I said it is me who stands to end up with egg on their face.

JGFC is quite happy with my running the forum and has I'm sure bigger fish to fry with his Conference South Radio project, which could so easily have been Radio Wings (and I have had copies of the professionally produced and now redundant jingles for weeks to back this up).

I quite agree with the last anonymous post. THREAD CLOSED
