and is Kev still appreciated more then Kangaroo fans???

Don't come in here having a go at us for not supporting the club... most of us are Pagan Platniums and some are even Player Sponsors...

I even have roos.com.au as my homepage at both home and work... but I will not contribute to the forum... when it is open to non-members of my football club... when they make it a members only forum I will be quite happy to reconsider my stand...

BTW ang... the subject and content should have something in common...
 
I am happy where I am thanks.

Free of all the constant pathetic arguments.

If you are happy there then stay there, Im happy here so I'm staying. Compared to this format the old official forum is like using a typewriter.

Im with you Rooboy96 on all counts.


Go the Skull !!!

When there was a thread a week or so ago attacking Michele/Christian for her faith in the club , I decided to switch off for good.

I don't always agree with what she says, and have pointed it out to her at times (politely), but the infighting I witnessed last week doesn't deserve to be read, and until it ceases, I and probably many others will steer well clear of the official forum.

Rooboy 96,

Isn't this forum open to non-roos members?

DOC,

Like I said, I know this forum has better features but it doesn't help the club.

If the roos.com.au forum was based on membership, would you guys come back?

yeah but watch the North army come in fist flying if anyone dares to challenge our club in our room... or on the main board... I love the most North people on this board as they stand by their fellow members against the greater evil...

the format is still a bit messy in that interesting threads get pushed off the front page... but it would be a step in the right direction...
 
Membership is one thing but the way last year and this season the opposition fans are welcomed in some cases is shocking That Kev w***er should have bee blocked out.
This is a footy board with a bit extra it has a AFL board which if you feel inclined go and stir up a bit of trouble.
The general board is another example we are footy heads but that is not all we talk about. You can converse with other supporters and only the new or real troublemakers are the problems and if you have to you contact Shinboners and he fixes things.
Is there anybody on the main board from the club who has any control over the site. As CIK stated there is no driver behind the wheel.
The topics are full of the same old garbage that has been going on the board since I first saw it. Somebody needs to give it a overhaul.
I still read the boards so it counts as hits so the club still gets the revenue. But I will not respond to the topics because what I have got to say to the Zooligists and Neo Blazes of this world does not need to be on the Official North Melbourne Football Club Website for all the USC's of the world to see. And to argue with those pea brains is not one of my hobbies.

Things are going bad over there if you coming over here to tell us to get there. Maybe you ar sick of the crap that goes on there as well???

Darky,
I started a thread entitled Great Win on the Official Forum and asked if we could now get through one Week without canning
Everybody.
That was Sunday just after the Game, it's now Tuesday and not one reply has been posted. :mad: :rolleyes: :confused: :(

Good on ya for trying, but I'd say most of the regulars here don't even bother looking at the official site's forum anymore, so any celebration of a win would have been done here instead.

Certainly everybody on both forums is entitled to their opinion, but the way it gets personal so quickly on the official site is disappointing.

I try to follow the theory that if you don't like a certain contributor, don't read their stuff - it's really bad form starting up a topic just to have a go at someone for having opposing views. It's not like Michele/Christian gets abusive or anything, so it looked unwarranted.

Most of the people here seem to have the right mix of realism and faith, but your celebration of the great win is probably wasted on the official board's snipers who would probably view it as an escapist fantasy, and shout you down for having your head in the sand, refusing to acknowledge the problems evident in our third quarter fade out, etc etc
 
I spoke to Andrew Carter last night at the cocktail night (He's my old boss), so I didn't look like some nanger going up to him and rabbiting on about the website.

We briefly chatted about the forum and he admitted he was pretty disappointed in it (proof that board members DO read the forum) and that it may disappear......... :D :eek: :confused: :mad: :p ;) :rolleyes: :o :( :)
 
Well after what I've been through this morning, I wouldn't blame them. That bleeper Poologist has been sending me abusive emails all morning. Seems they need to tighten up on the bleepers who ruin it for everyone else.......:mad:
 
I agree the official forum has gone down hill, much of the stuff posted is just (often spiteful) drivel.
This forum is just more relaxed and easy going. Most people around here don't take themselves too seriously. After all, I know we all love football & the Roos, but it's not worth having a tantrum and getting abusive at somebody who disagrees with your point of view.

I often find the political side of football to be boring, many people on the offical site seem to love bagging our administration - so most of the time I stay well clear of posting anything on there.
It's a shame really. :confused:

The bottom line: they need a moderator, badly.

If you guys support the roos why do you post on bigfooty.com

The club earns revenue from www.roos.com.au

The club also got revenue from a player sponsorship we organised here. When the question of the sponsorship was asked here, we got a great response (both from people who wanted to put it and others who helped behind the scenes with contacting the club) and had no problems getting the money together.

On the official forum, I posted a message asking anyone if they were interested in getting together to buy one of the Vice-Presidents memberships. I got 2 (TWO) responses.....and one of those was from a bigfooty person who wanted to be involved in the player sponsorship here, but was too late. Y'know, it seemed that a number of people on the official forum were too busy bitching about the state of affairs at Arden Street rather than trying to do something active that would actually HELP the club. That's why so many of us are here and not on the official forum these days.

For this reason and the ones given above by the others, don't ever come here again and question the love and support the bigfooty roos have given North Melbourne.

I'm with all you guys as I prefer the ease of use of Big Footy and I also get a laugh out of some of the sensational posts on our board as well as all the other teams and I love reading all the signatures and avatars that everyone has.
Until all the drivel on the official forum stops and it becomes more user friendly I won't be going back.
I prefer to see the constructive comments (be they positive or negative) that people make here at Big Footy.
Sure we dig at the opposition supporters but at the end of the day we all know its just fun and we dont get non registerd wan**rs posting whatever they want.
My first post on Big Footy mentioned that I would not return to the official forum and this stands.
 
I agree with the sentiments above.

I'm really rapt that Bigfooty has undergone a revamp. It makes the roos.com.au site look antiquated. Sh i t house, really!

I am far from an armchair supporter, I dip a lot of money into the club. I feel no responsibility to the roos.com.au site as far as keeping up the hit count is concerned. I make the occasional visit to have a go at a few freaks & defend a few others and that's all I expect to get out of it anymore.

I agree it needs a moderator. There's not enough respect for onr another over there. We're a pretty different mix of personalities over here but we generally get along really well & I just love taking the p i ss out of eachother. Many people over there seem to use it as therapy to vent their frustrations & it often gets ugly.

I'm a big supporter of Michele/Christian. She is unrelenting & I just don't know where she gets the energy.

Ang, who are you? Do you represent the club or the site?
 
I am a relatively new comer to both this and the Official site.

Became interested in the Official site and found out about you guys when Rose posted something like "Do you want to feel good about following North?"

The link was from a Dogs fan who said some pretty good things about North supporters.....

Yeah , of late the official site has become a whos who of bagging and abuse...Would appear to be mostly the disruptive , half cocked opinions of one who is involved in the study of animals.

I admire Michelle / Christian for having a fair crack back at the tosser. I have also posted in defence / support of Michelle on various issues as I have seen it fit.

But it is concerning that it is all imploding.

I hope you don't mind if I continue to hop between sites for the time being at least.

Given this is the only real chance I get to see the views of other North supporters / members other than Crow /Port tripe which I have to put up with daily.
:eek:
 
I've been a reader and occasional poster (under several names) of the official forum for a couple of years now.

The contributions from opposition supporters have never bothered me too much, as there was no shortage of North back up.

But there is no question that the general tone of the site has changed in the last few weeks.

Gone are many of the rumours/tips from 'sources close to the coaching staff' Gone are most of the hair brained, left-field suggestions for on field improvement (now when we need them the most!) Gone seem to be most of the supporters who would follow the ressies/training week to week and post to keep people updated.

In the place of this is a long list of threads which begin as complaints about the club stucture/ off field performance and seem to rapidly descend into abusive tirades.

I've been reading BigFooty for a short time (again brought here by Roses' inspiring link) and it seems that I might have found the place that most of the interesting contributers have migrated to.

This is a bit of a pity for the club, but maybe it could learn a few things about running a forum from this site. Until then I'll be reading both, but I suspect that BF will get most of my time.
 
The great thing is that BigFooty has a real community feel to it. The way you guys all go to the Mk's together and meet up semi-reguarly at training is fantastic. Even if you can't meet up there is the whole e-mail thing happenning.
Although for me it has been a little intimidating, I think it shows a real warmth. Coupled with the love of the club and we have a fantastic forum here. The official one has no spark.
I am glad that I read the posts here because at least I know a little bit about the people making the calls having read posts before. That gives me a good feeling about the posts.
 
Moti - I've gotta admit, I think you're pretty bearable now.

I'm willing to let the past go, I think you rubbed me up the wrong way with your constant bagging on Langey in the past and if you knew me like my friends do, you'd understand why that used to get to me.

So as long as you don't get too personal towards the players, I'm willing to have a truce...........

Nooooooo! Really?

Seriously I think that site is made up of a core 10 or so people with multiple identities.

I know that there are females on there impersonating males and doing a really funny job of it.
 
So what you're saying 35eye is that we may have some posters with a sexual identity crisis?

100% female (last time I checked anyway). :D
 
Shinners can you check with Bluey about some commission for me:D If it works I will go and see if I can get a few more over here. Only the good ones though.;) I hoped it worked when you came over, as I can remember we were all feeling a bit down the day Westy came in here and posted that one
 
I get the commission for getting Michele over here though! I just sent her an e-mail asking her to join us over here at bigfooty. She's always posted on the main bigfooty board defending our club, but she's never posted here on the North board itself.

In fact, everyone should send her an e-mail to get her on here. I don't want to post her e-mail addy here, so you can either e-mail me for her e-mail addy or just find a post of her's on the official forum.
