There you go , I am sure there are a lot of posters who just change their user names to have a fresh approach to OTIB. Yeah I’ve no issue with it per se and if they’re the rules then they are the rules, but if you’ve been on the Board a long time it’s good to know who you’re speaking to and what their history is - who’s supported who, who has a broad range of views and who hasn’t (!) etc etc. Just think it builds the picture. No big deal but sometimes just get the feeling people do it to hide previous posts and views which shouldn’t be necessary imho. Obviously if those views stray into lower level behaviour then that’s when people get suspended, banned etc but if not stand by what you have said or apologise if necessary and move on. It’s only a message board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan ? It was Brendan. yep, on RB for a while (forced to commentate on Rovers iirc) but moved on to bigger things quite quickly I think. He also modelled the new City kit for the official site one year iirc. Works for BBC Sport website, can sometimes be seen doing live text for some events.

Would have had much to say about the current situation! Sadly just missed out on the Cotts era which he would have loved. As an investigative journalist he was good at asking the innocent question that sparks a reaction - one such question was his legacy to this forum...one of the more classic threads - 'Supporters Club v Gary Johnson' Martyn still much missed around these & associate parts. In addition to being a terrific journalist lest not forget he still found time to give of his time in organising others to get to matches. The fact many still travel is, too, his legacy.

Total city fan and I don’t think he ever meant badly but did suffer a bit of abuse purely because of the spamming level and posting style - which invariably got more random as Friday nights progressed… When my daughter shaved her bonce for charity last year, Tommy made a very generous donation and even shaved his head himself in support.

Surely a lot of the younger ones in 30's and 40's just have other priorities in life at the moment like raising families etc. I'm informed 'El Prismaticos' (Fourth Estate in joke for his excellent work in exposing Glitter) took the money from The Sun several years back to set up as a property developer in Kent.

Erithacus Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 I wonder if, like me, many people have been shut out after the recent system upgrade. After TomF had fiddled with it for many weeks it seemed, I could only log and log out again - nothing else! I could not reply, post, DM or even pay the OTIB subs! Ages spent in silence. Are there many more who can't use it still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted August 25, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 On a slightly different note, I think many people would be surprised how many people that get banned from OTIB set up a new account and subsequently get spotted by the admin team and get banned again. There's one user who must easily be in double figures now for usernames and IP addresses being banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
