Re: Future of the footy forum

Glad to read so many positive comments and suggestions.
I'm very sure this site is extremely relevant and run in a spirit that encourages and supports serious, passionate and committed Mighty Bluebagger folks to have a genuine meeting place for discussion and good natured and good humoured banter. And having such a 'spirit' this site soon becomes disinteresting to trolls, malcontents and similar c0ckheads.
As many others have mentioned I'm also becoming more and more disinterested in FB... the novelty is wearing off.
As for changes, well, I firmly believe this site 'aint broke' so it doesn't really need any major changes. I would like to see a greater emoticon variety as we had with the old site.
I'm not a member of any other Bluebagger sites, though during trade period I tend to check them out for 'rumours'... most of which turn out to be horseshizen. This year I only visited BF for rumours, but this site CSC is my favourite by a mile and has been since 2009 when I joined.
I don't believe the fall-off in numbers is due to anything more than the fluctuating fortunes of the on-field performance... it'll change as our fortunes also change, though if our performance next season mirrors this season, there will be an influx of heated discussion!
I, too, miss some of the characters we've had on here though a couple would go way too far (personal slights etc) and limiting that behaviour is one of the genuine strengths of this site.
There is nothing about the site's current format that I dislike.
What I particularly like about this site is not only the footy talk and the variety of perspectives but there is also much genuine intelligent conversation about prevailing social issues. I've met a few folks through this site and attended games together which is fabulous. Mrs Baggers has enjoyed this also... along with RRs dry sense of humour
