slartibartfast Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Since our upturn in form I've been going on other forums to see what they have to say about us beating them.

Lanterne Rouge Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I`ve said it ever since I`ve used this one (long time watcher before signing up two or three years ago) that it is one of the best there is. So much more gets discussed and by so many more people than on others - I`ve seen matchday threads on some clubs` forums with about five replies. We don`t always agree with each other but rarely really fall out and pretty much all the threads are worth a read, the ones that aren`t (and I`ve started a few!) just sink down the page quickly due to all the new stuff constantly being added. As CR says above, it`s far easier to navigate than most others too. Credit to all involved, we know you all do it in your precious spare time so respect for that.

ChippenhamRed Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Still haven't seen a better one in terms of both design and content. If there was a forum league we'd qualify for Europe every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 And - personally - I think not only @Tomarse deserves plaudits for maintaining the forum, but the mods do a good job allowing us to swear and bicker like mad without it ever descending into outright chaos.

One Team In Keynsham Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 My minor peeve is the chatbox replacement for the old chatroom. Not as keen on the new functionality, although I fully appreciate the reason we had to change. Other than that, great work @Tomarse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elruliri Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Best forum for design and layout. I'm on here everyday, looking to see people's opinions is great. It's good to debate a matter on, even if we disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuno Gomes Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Agree that this forum is head and shoulders over our peers. Only one that I have come across which comes close is Blackbums. Well done @Tomarse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 My favourite one I read after the Barnsley match from one of their lot is: Quote That we've lost from a winning position (yet again) to a team that are pretty much relegation fodder. Significant changes required in the summer or we will be next season's Rotherham. Can't see us picking up anymore points this season. 2 I found it amusing that we're viewed as "relegation fodder", talk about a lack of respect of your opponent.

You must be talking about Tykes Mad which is absolute dog sh!t. The main Barnsley one is the BBS, which has had a style makeover recently due to a switch of forum software and which now a little bit like this one. Even that is nowhere near as busy as this one though. I have to agree with the consensus. This is one of the best football forums of the web. Fast, no ads, heavily used, nice layout. There seems to be a lot of good football folk on here and it is often very funny. I first came on here around the time that LJ left us to join you to pass on what hopefully were constructive views about him. No p!ss taking. I have occasionally come back though because its a great forum. I'll probably back off again soon for the summer ( as well as from our own BBS) as i do enjoy a break from football these days over the summer. But I will keep popping my head in from time to time because its a pleasurable way to waste half an hour of my life when the mood takes me.
