Surely after the couple of weeks we have had, there are more important items to be discussed. I recognise the ironic fact that I am continuing this pointless debate whilst giving out about it.

It's also hard for me to take someone serious saying "Roe is a thick B*$*%x" when it's in the "Nokia form", maybe I'm the thick one 
Look it's great to see more people on the board, God knows we need some sort of help with Offaly GAA, but I didn't drit in here in the last week. I've been around since the old board was started so maybe it's old age or the nerd bit of me but I just get fustrated with the text message slang. Yer using a Keyboard and your not being charged by the letter. With some posts the point can get lost.gutless08 wrote:have 2 say i enjoy readind sum great posts and its a refreshing site , but now i see the nerds are coming out in force, now guys come on lets all back each other now
). Personal abuse has been at a minimum with the focus nearly always kept on an individual’s sporting attributes rather than their personal ones and this has worked splendidly so far.

I think the forum has worked well so far.TheManFromFerbane wrote:Much like the EU which started out as an economic co-operation between a few countries this board started out as a way to get Offaly supporters to arrange meeting places for games to improve the atmosphere and noise levels and to chat about current Offaly affairs.
Also much like the EU it has grown, expanded to take it new people, some of those people’s cultures are different to the socially accepted norm already in place, it doesn't make them right or wrong, just different.
New challenges face the site now (as with the EU). We probably have members in every club in the county, and if we really wanted to, could bring motions to those clubs to try and get them discussed at county board level.
Up to now the board was self policing, users kept the posts in the bounds of decency (if not good taste
But now like the EU things are getting messy (Seven posts for one game was a bit ridiculous) so here is the question. Do we go down the boards.ie (Lisbon Treaty) route and try and bring in laws, guidelines that all posters have to stick to or face getting banned or do we stay on the course that we've been on up to now. A course that has served us brilliantly up to now.
I for one am quite happy the way the site is going now. New people are coming in and giving another view, if their posts don't conform to normal standards I don't really care, if their posts are unreadable then I don't read them.
I suppose its ones for the sites moderators to say whether they want the hassle of policing the board or not. We are, lest we forget, operating on a site put up by their good will and with the click of a mouse it could all be gone.
It's easy gutless. All you do is click the "Quote" button on the post that you want to talk about and that's it. The computer will do the rest and then you can add the text you want to write under it. You can even remove some of the text (like I did above) if there is a particular point you want to discuss.gutless08 wrote:okay so im learning slowly and cant paste other comments and stuff, but im not here for ego.

Where was that comment Look, I'm delighted that there is new blood coming into the team (unlike our county team) and it's great to have more interested in the GAA in Offaly. It makes no difference if your supporting Offaly 1 month or 50 years, all welcome. I just want to make sure the newer lads are coached the right way and we're all playing to the same game plan (again unlike our county team)gutless08 wrote:MUCK SAVAGE, possibly you didnt walk in here last week, but sum of us ,myself included have watched offaly for the last 20 years. okay so im learning slowly and cant paste other comments and stuff, but im not here for ego. with the last couple of weeks having me in the horrors, this is the last thing i want to chat about.
Now I could be considered a bully as one of the older people and if you were here maybe I'd hit you a slap to get you off the squad but I won't be doing that. Your welcome to post what you like, I just wanted to be able to understand what your points are.
