State of the board

[Manc]

The fuck is going on?

[Giggles]

Let it rest in peace, it's already dead.

[Kikó]

What's changed?

[Jimmy Floyd]

We're all getting older and football (which draws us all back) is dreadful.

[Giggles]

It's just natural. We're all old as fuck now and more interested in pillows and clow cookers than soccer and computer games. You've less and less time of your own once you're middle aged too.

[Yevrah]

I could write a long post going into detail, but actually the tldr will more than do and that approach epitomises the problem - We're old and increasingly bored by everything we once enjoyed.

I should imagine if you don't have kids it only gets worse as well.

[Manc]

We need new blood.

[SincereTheRebel]

When was the last official link up? Actually has there ever been a successful one?

[Manc]

Ben, although he's probably an alias.

[Ben]

Wedge wasn't it?

[Giggles]

If you are you've kept up the charade impressively well.

[Shindig]

Elth came back yesterday. Or his next of kin using his account.

[Pepe]

Harold came back not too long ago.

[Giggles]

Harold came back not too long ago.

And he got the same heavy hand Taz got.

[Lofty]

TTH will never die.

[randomlegend]

Heavy hand :D

They aren't toddlers.

Well they are, but they shouldn't be.

[Giggles]

Heavy hand :D

They aren't toddlers.

Well they are, but they shouldn't be.

Handing out bans on an internet forum like it's 2005. And one with about 10 posts a day at that :happycry:

[Lewis]

I would love Taz back.

[randomlegend]

He's not even banned is he? He just flounced off again like the fucking gimp he is.

[Shindig]

Aye, he got a week ban and hasn't come back. He's probably doing time for trying to set fire to a migrant hotel.

[Lewis]

Somebody must have him on the socials. Blow his pager up.

[Pepe]

Taz better than many here.

[Kikó]

It says more about Taz that he was able to get himself banned on a message board with effectively no rules.

[Lofty]

BLM midfielders with 14 inch cocks, incredible losing streak of bets, tick tings, thinly veiled anti-semitic comment... am I missing any of his other content?

That spat he got in parking partly across someone's drive was amusing to be fair.

[Spikey M]

It says more about Taz that he was able to get himself banned on a message board with effectively no rules.

Not really. He posted a picture of dead kids to make a point about the ridiculous nature of a cutesy, inclusive, song contest, being carried out while one of their members is commiting genocide.

I'm not sure why that carries a ban, but much of the content in the video thread doesn't. In particular I'm reminded of a decapitated man trying to put his intestines back inside of himself while he bleeds to death.

[Manc]

Pizza Boy put him through the ropes. No coming back from that.

[Kikó]

I didn't see it but if it can trigger SvN then it must have been bad.

[SvN]

I'm quite happy for posting high-resolution photographs of dead children behind a disingenious spoiler to be a red line. I can't believe I'm having to say this, but If you want to post photos of dead kids, do it elsewhere.

[Baz]

Fine, off I go back to Documenting Reality.

He did it because he's an attention-seeker, not because he actually gives a single shit about the politics or the children.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The BLM stuff is all a big ironic play because he feels sidelined as a (whatever his ethnic identity is) compared to the cultural attention lavished on black people and BLM. It always seemed very confused. I remember him posting some seriously bitter stuff during various Afcons about how the tournament had too much coverage and the Asian Cup was a better tournament or whatever (it isn't). All comes from the same place I think. Palestine gave him a big cultural touchstone to latch onto and he duly disappeared down the wormhole.

[Magic]

You do realise you can moderate without handing out punishments?

[Shindig]

No. You actually can't. Moderation by definition is telling someone where the limits are.

[Magic]

No. You actually can't. Moderation by definition is telling someone where the limits are.

Lol no that's policing. You can moderate i.e by removing content and advising or locking threads etc without actually giving points like a school classroom.

[Shindig]

School is not a public forum.

[Magic]

School is not a public forum.

Exactly, glad you understand. :thbup:

[randomlegend]

Yes, I'm sure the mods would love to spend their lives removing thousands of pictures of water slides from threads forever more.

[Shindig]

Point I was making was anyone of any age could see that image. You don't need a login to view TTH. It's wide open compared to a school environment.

[Magic]

We're complaining about lack of activity and content so I'm sure that's not a concern...

[Spikey M]

Yes, I was definitely advocating for more pictures of dead children.

[Magic]

Are you being serious? On the basis that you are; lol.

[Spikey M]

Stewart Lee is always watching.

Is the video thread locked to the public?

[Manc]

Has anyone heard from that con artist?

[Spikey M]

Mellin? No. He's even left the WhatsApp group, but then that's mostly just Offy and DS exchanging drug dealer details now, so he may have been feeling some heat from his probation officer.

[Lewis]

Offshore is another miss. TTH Legend.

[Pepe]

Yeah, Offshore was class.

[Spikey M]

He said he'll be back for Christmas but he wants another Bazbot. Those are the terms of his return.

[niko_cee]

Is there not an AI trading scam we can sink some funds into?

[Ben]

Speaking of Bazbot, the whole copy trading thing has done the rounds at my work the last few weeks. A load of guys bunched together to throw some money in. I declined, and was admittedly getting a bit itchy when they were creaming £350 a day between them at the beginning of last week.

Alas, the US interest rate cut last Thursday killed them dead. They got their initial investments out but that's it.

[Jimmy Floyd]

There's far too much of this investment bullshit going around the normies these days. Nobody knows anything. If you want to gamble, gamble on the horses.

[Pepe]

I got most of my money on an ETF and it's up 50% over the last three years or so. Picking individual stocks is a mugs game.

[Giggles]

Need to start with Ian and work our way back to Toby.

[Dark Soldier]

Pump all free cash into #momsmilkytits it's going to the moon lads, £500 marketcap but when it hits £1,000,000 you'll all be thanking me.

[randomlegend]

Must be time for a WDYTOE, they always bring the place out of the doldrums :henn0rz:

[Giggles]

Probably the worst week ever just gone. Absolute tumbleweed, I honestly think it's just because we're all semi old and have other shit to do.
Maybe when we're all 70 and retired we'll see a resurgence.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Read the 'Eafc' thread if you want to know where half the board are. One of the few topics where I can read pages and pages of material and still not have the first clue what any of them are talking about.

[Yevrah]

It's not necessarily pay to play.

You read all that shit? :D

Shows the demise of a board and the demise of a game all in the one go. I can't believe people fall for the pay to play shit still, glorified sticker album for mongs only far more expensive. Too much stuff taken off here too. Suits a lot of cunts but they're a closed shop so you're basically tightening the noose on this.

[Yevrah]

Ok, I'm sure I didn't predict exactly what Giggles was going to say before he posted it, but there it is, my response to his post before his post.

EDIT not DELETE eh?

I don't like that 'edited by' line under a post. It aligns too close to the text and has always looked messy on this message board software. Feel free to do likewise.

[Yevrah]

Don't necessarily disagree.

[Kikó]

So everyone is still posting but just talking about FIFA? Disgusting.

[Jimmy Floyd]

You read all that shit? :D

If I'm sitting in the office at 11.43am on a Thursday then I'm reading literally anything until a customer calls or emails. At one point I read the entire oeuvre of Raymond Chandler in 3-minute snatches on .pdfs in exactly such lulls.
