Henry hasn't posted in three months.

[Shindig]

Should we send a crack team of investigators to find him?

[Giggles]

Lee is coming up on 3 weeks too.

[Spoonsky]

I did wonder about Henry the other day. My money is on a murder-suicide perpetrated by a certain H.B.

[Boydy]

This place is really dying off now.

[Giggles]

This place is really dying off now.

Bound to happen with such a small user base to begin with and too much familiarity/contempt among the base that is here.

[Kikó]

This is the end boys. Someone start a state of the board thread.

[Spammer]

Even if new people join, they'd largely feel alienated but how comfy everyone is with each other.

Sinking ship, lads.

[Spoonsky]

The demographic of the board has changed. You've all grown up, most of you have full-time jobs and many have families or long-term relationships. TTH was always founded on us being timewasters, essentially, and there's just less time to waste when you're thirty than when you're nineteen.

[Giggles]

This is the end boys. Someone start a state of the board thread.

You're in it.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's a ticking time bomb as soon as you cut off the source FM bit. Through cricket I know a few old dudes who were once part of the most famed invitational club in the land. They attracted shitloads of players and played all sorts of high profile games back in the 1970s. As they aged, though, it morphed into a golf society, and these days it's basically a funeral tour.

It's been emotional, chaps.

[Spoonsky]

By the way, Sunday was the anniversary of the New New Board.

[Spammer]

Anyone got any other boards we can latch onto?

Otherwise, I'm on Facebook if anyone wants to stay in touch :uhoh:

[Baz]

Just because one of the biggest cunts ever to install broadband has stopped posting, its the end? Cheer up lads, worse things have happened.

[Spammer]

I want Benny and Taz back. I've met both in real life so they're some of the few people on here who feel like real people.

[Kikó]

If Henry is actually gone then it's the end. Where's Fry?

[Angelsaint]

Amen! Ohhh i understood wrong, I thought he was gone like.. GONE! Well time to cancel the celebrations.

[Kikó]

Looking at the stats , we peaked November 30 with 211 users but over the past year we're averaging around 111 users. Slight decline but nothing mental.

[Spammer]

That graph is daft. Why would they do it in alphabetical order?

Edit: Graph is gone. It was a stupid graph anyway.

[SvN]

Henry was active a week ago. He's probably just on holiday or something.

[Bernanke]

I still find the activity here to be pretty alright? I've been part of dying forums in the past, and this one feels like it'll churn on for a good while still.

[Kikó]

That graph is daft. Why would they do it in alphabetical order?

Edit: Graph is gone. It was a stupid graph anyway.

:sherlock:

Realised afterwards that it was in alphabetical order so got rid.

[Henry]

Here I am. I'm busy, you know.

[Lewis]

I still find the activity here to be pretty alright? I've been part of dying forums in the past, and this one feels like it'll churn on for a good while still.

I think it's noticeably slower on weekends than the Old Board (apart from football times), but it still bangs during the week.

[SvN]

We definitely miss the daytime activity from the likes of Taz and Benny.

[Kikó]

Benny is just a lazy git because of the group, as is Lee.

[Lewis]

Fox never goes missing. Even if he had had a MELTDOWN and killed his Lauren, he would have posted about it. How odd.

[Mazuuurk]

I think it's hit it's tempo for now. It is fine really.

But yes, I post a lot less than I used to and I generally don't feel I have many interesting stories to tell these days. That's the same for all of us. At the same time it's kind of like a comforting old club sort of thing, but like Jimmy says about his other forum. By the way Jim it's a bit funny how you say a forum about Cricket "devolved" into just being boring Golf. That's like saying a Slug is quicker than a Snail.

[Boydy]

Maybe you lot ahould stop pissing about in whtasapp and actually post.

[Spammer]

Gutted at not being in the group. It's like primary school all over again.

[Shindig]

Here I am. I'm busy, you know.

Fair enough. The activity of this place seems fine. We definitely miss the likes of Taz and Benny. To a lesser extent, Fry and Martin who were part-timers on the old board. Magic's probably going to wind up having arguments with his 16 year-old daughter in ten years time whilst Baz tries to chat her up.

We're doing alright.

[Giggles]

Maybe you lot ahould stop pissing about in whtasapp and actually post.

In fairness, when they have that there's no need for this. It's a far handier method so no wonder this is dying on it's arse.

[niko_cee]

Pretty sure Jimmy wasn't talking about an internet forum.

[Mazuuurk]

Magic's probably going to wind up having arguments with his 16 year-old daughter in ten years time whilst Baz tries to chat her up.

You've just given me all the faith I'll need. I'll wait around for that for sure.

And it'll definitely happen :drool:

[Kikó]

Maybe you lot ahould stop pissing about in whtasapp and actually post.

I'm not the problem. I have time for both.

[Max Power]

I've seen Lee post a couple times on another forum so he's not dead/incarcerated.

[Giggles]

Not to forget Toby too. The one I'd say has left the biggest hole.

(Not with his head, before anyone says it).

[Mazuuurk]

Why was it him and Taz didn't carry over anyway? I remember Taz saying he wouldn't but not why.

[ItalAussie]

I noticed that. Come back, Henry.

Maybe we can have two UK Politics threads. :D

[Pen]

Maybe you lot ahould stop pissing about in whtasapp and actually post.

Or turn each thread in to a forum wide whatsapp group!

[SvN]

Taz changed his name and got mocked, so left in a huff.

[Kikó]

His missus turned on parental control on his phone and internet and blocked this place.

[Giggles]

Why was it him and Taz didn't carry over anyway? I remember Taz saying he wouldn't but not why.

Toby was here originally wasn't he?

EDIT: Yep, 2,980 posts.

[Henry]

I noticed that. Come back, Henry.

Why would we need two?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The fucking traitor.

I hope Lauren cuts his bollocks off.

[Bartholomert]

We need to do a serious reaching out / publicizing effort for TTH. We still have a critical mass of regular posters but only just barely.

[Spammer]

Or turn each thread in to a forum wide whatsapp group!

That would be pretty cool actually :drool:

Not all threads, obvs. But aye.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Not a forum. A real life society. It was a metaphor to explain how once you cut off the natural supply of new members (in our case, FM tips or whatever) it is going to die sooner or later, in our case probably later.

[Yevrah]

It's pretty much big events that keep us going now.

[five time]

People mentioning FM reminded me of Nick leaving TD to set up his own forum. Wasn't this (http://www.footballmanagernow.co.uk/) it?

At least we outlived the FM lot.

[Giggles]

Didn't realise it kicked the bucket altogether.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm glad the dickheads deserved it.

[Kikó]

We are invincible!

[Giggles]

We are invincible!

Til mid 2017 being generous.

[Kikó]

We need a foreign investor to bring in the fans.

[Baz]

Forum went down for a bit last night. I messaged the hosting providers (I'm good, see.) and they said it was a problem with websites that begin with T. :D

I thought it was just me as no one mentioned it when it started working again.

Nikolay is on the case though the beast.

[Giggles]

Me and Mike went on to the Refuge to see what was what.

[Pepe]

You can tell how fucked things are when I realized the site was down and didn't even care.

[Lewis]

I didn't know it had gone down at any point, but I would have cared even less.

[Giggles]

To be honest, if a good handful of the membership have evolved the chat into a private group then there's not a real big point in bothering or worrying about what happens from here on in. I'm just glad I didn't bother giving any cash that time when they were going to/already had binned it.

[igor_balis]

If the site died I'd actually have to get some hobbies which sounds scary but would probably benefit me long term.

[Weaver]

FMNow is still going on Twitter: @FMNowForum

If only we'd pushed ahead with ours, we might've had nearly 1,400 followers as well.

[igor_balis]

FM Now was never followed by Bosko Balaban, though.

I had a similar response from Sergey

http://i.imgur.com/UwgkfeY.png

It genuinely seemed like bullshit to me, but they're either telling the truth or at least being consistent.

[Shindig]

Baz gets all his domains from the Eastern Bloc.

[Pepe]

What's the money situation? Why the fuck are we not getting one of those billboards we all want?

We get ripped off, didn't we?

[Giggles]

To be honest I had expected Baz to just lol at you all straight away rather than just let it drag out like this. It would have had more comic effect too.

[SvN]

I have the money. We just used some of it to renew the hosting. 1 or 2 people have talked about an advertising board at a lower league game, but I don't believe there's any consensus. We can do whatever the board wants with the money.

[Lewis]

Is that short for Samson? Because he was shit without his hair as well.

[Spoonsky]

We have had at least one solid new member recently. Manc how the fuck did you find this place?

[phonics]

Loads of people read this place but never post, it's how the internet works, you miserable bastards. Drifter, Greg, Keep It Real, Guybrush, Elbastido, Doowop. I have no idea who any of these people are. We average 15-30 guests at any one time. We're a community and negative nancy's will be dealt with.

[Waffdon]

In Greenock tonight so just posting in case I'm brutally murdered. #ClubLew

Something anti-Rooney?

Isn't he just that old caricature of a British person ManU fan?

[Giggles]

Isn't he just that old caricature of a British person ManU fan?

Well he supports Liverpool so I'd hazard a guess at no.

[Shindig]

I've seen one new name. Jokeps or somebody? He's probably alright.

[igor_balis]

I read the old place pretty regularly for years with about 200 posts. Fuck knows why. Oh wait, because I'm a sad bastard.

[Baz]

Was it any different reading without posting?

[igor_balis]

There was more of an aura! Never meet your heroes.

[Mellberg]

:D

I still read, but there's a lot to be said for sitting back and selfishly not contributing. Once you've made 20,000-30,000 or so shit one liners/posts about Villa you tend to run out of steam.

[Lewis]

You managed about fifty.

[Mellberg]

And 29,950 good ones? Very kind of you.

[7om]

It's going to sound soppy but you lot were a pretty good outlet for me around the time I joined. Coming over to Murica was stressful at the time and TTH was a great diversion and a small link to back home.

I'll always have time for TTH, even if it's just to pop in and happy slap Magic every now and then. I do miss the days when Haxball and werewolf were running regularly and activity was high but moving here was always going to be the end for some people. Taz is a huge loss and even now I still miss his posting style.

[Pepe]

We could use the remaining money to lure Taz back.

[Mellberg]

What went on with Taz?

[Pepe]

He had a meltdown after people lolled his new name off.

[Lewis]

And 29,950 good ones? Very kind of you.

No worries. As for Taz, he got married and took her name.

[Baz]

Taz is easily findable on Facebook if you know his name (I know all your names). His profile pic is him at the Nou Camp looking stoned.

[igor_balis]

I still think the 'Taz from Milton Keynes' who phoned me when I was briefly working at a sofa distribution centre was him. I nearly asked him.

[Giggles]

Well that's disturbing.

Not half as disturbing as what he did with them all last time round.

[7om]

Is Taz's name as exotic as I've always imagined it to be?

[Shindig]

Darryl Bahktairizadehjad.

[Lewis]

Mustapha Seethe.

[Magic]

Really hoping for an absolutely massive terror attack now, for the sake of the board.

Ideally one that lasts for a few days, like the Hebdo one, with thrice the veracity of the Bataclan. Live discussion. :drool:

[Shindig]

Syria not enough, Magic? That Aid convoy getting bombed.

What this place needs is a Premiership player getting dug out with a strap on. My money is on Lamela.

Fasolaaaakska will save the board.

Crisis, what crisis?

I decided to post a bit. Soon to be followed by more months of lurking anonymously.

Glad to help

[Adamski]

Talk to us Frank, whats your story?

The newbies are killing the board.

Was there even a post during MotD last night? Don't think I ever recall that happening before.

Surely everyone can't be sitting at home breastfeeding in their tweed jumpers?

[niko_cee]

Yeah, it's been mega quiet the last few days.

[Kikó]

It's all in anticipation of the Meet.

[Ian]

Think the opening day of the season was the last time I watched it live. Only half-watched Chelsea-Leicester yesterday as well. I used to be much less picky about what games I'd devote my full attention to.

[John]

Odd that Giggles, who complains that the place is shite even when it's active, is always the one around when no-one else is to notice that it's dead.

[Raoul Duke]

I was out drinking, wearing tweed and breastfeeding. Well, 2/3 of those anyway.

[Giggles]

I'm always around so that stands to reason.

But don't let that get in the way of a pop.

[Baz]

Yeah it was a shocker yesterday. We need a recruitment drive. Or even better, for old members to start posting again.

[Lewis]

I just got a bad gateway screen and the blood drained from my face.

[Giggles]

They've become very frequent.

[Angelsaint]

This board died on moment some people become mods/ administrators.
Nothing to do with FM, besides long time he lost contact with the FM crowd.

[John]

Why did campaign for about three years to get unbanned if the place is dead?
