Really? Where was that said?

It's in her closing message

Some excellent points proman, like many I believe it would have been much better for some notice to have been given before the plug was pulled, and us daily posters had to go cold turkey.

Agreed 54, no excuse for threatening, especially when people are volunteering so much time for the enjoyment of others. Possibly could have been the reason as you mentioned, if that is the case it is a very sad day. Was just my opinion on how it was done.

Think the threatening was between members.

As Vi said in her message, the decision to close the site was NOT taken lightly, and in actual fact caused her a lot of heartache. I was as shocked as anybody when I found out about the closure, and perhaps a bit of warning to soften the blow may have been in order. But after she put so much time and effort into maintaining the site over so many years, I see no justification whatsoever for threats/abuse!!!

Does anybody still check the site everyday?

I try to login at least twice a day still, hoping that maybe miraculously it will be back. Oh well, I guess BF will have to put up with all my shit now.

No but I'm still pissed off how sudden it all was. Vi & Mark will probably find their way here some day. Did anyone work out which name Michaelangelo Rucci was using ?

I can tell those of you wondering that matrix is definitely not Rucci - he (matrix, who may or may not already be in here

) was with several of us yesterday at Alberton Oval and ex TPFPer Powerage met him and '54 for the first time.

G'day Creighton - I tried to sneak upstairs yesterday to meet you guys, but the bloke at the bottom of the stairs wouldn't let me up there - something about needing a ticket

Lol i do enter the link daily, more out of habit than anything. Starting to get used to it over here, it was nice to have a game to talk about on satdy to help me get into some threads, but i think itll take some time to really adapt to this site. Its structure is just so different.

For those that are regulars here is there any "newest posts" list that shows all the threads across all the forums (in the port area) with the latest posts? Maybe i cam just set up a custom search or something.

HaroldOliver · Mar 9, 2014

Loved the TPFP and hold no animosity towards Vi, Mark and Co - they did a great job.
Hopefully BigFooty PAFC will be half as good.

Going to be a bit different posting about some things. For instance, on TPFP if you did a soccer post and poked a bit of fun at the Melbourne Victory it was OK because most were Adelaide posters. Here, that could get you an infraction.

Unless I am going blind ( quite possible ) I can't see any mention of yesterdays game against the aints anywhere on this site.
TPFP would have probably had 5 or 6 pages of comment by now, and at least one report on the game, am I missing something, and there is a thread somewhere I have overlooked?

You need to get out of Black Diamond Corner and go onto the Port Adelaide - Est. 1870 board

Jakko · Mar 9, 2014

Welcome TPFP fans. I had an account there but never really got into it. I preferred a site that had not just Port fans opinions in the end.

Good luck with Bay13.

You are currently posting in our sub forum for off topic discussion. If you move here you'll see numerous threads discussing yesterdays match.

I have looked in Club 1870, and to paraphrase the russkys I can find nixenski.
