Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 NTTDS seems a decent, but rum, cove. I don't understand what he's on about most of the time, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreedyHarry Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Harmless randomness interspersed with useful info and the occasional gem. I value NTTDS’s input to be honest. Like many others have said, the ignore function is under-utilised. I use it myself and find it very helpful to sift out posters that are offensive or deliberately argument. Two things Nev cannot be accused of. Each to their own though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy1968 Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 NTTDS is a top City fan, and if we resticted his (or anyone's) posts because they "posted too often", then it would hasten the death of the forum.

Leveller Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 OK, I’ve got used to him being John aka NTTDS - where did Nev and Ted come from? Is he a consortium? I think we should be told. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Don't worry folks, the initiator of the thread, about NTTDS, is known by me and he's lost in summer without any horrible defeats to moan about. @Abraham Romanovich Deep down he's a nice guy but a tadge wierd on occasions. I actually like NTTDS threads because I play "Find the grammar or spelling errors" a well known way to have a laugh and occasionally extract the Micheal!

downendcity Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Thank goodness for people like NTTDS. I would endorse what others have said. I've dropped into other clubs' forums ( or is the plural fora?). Some have tumbleweed running over the pages, while others are pretty scary places and if you think some or our posters are confrontational and abusive then it's nothing like some forums - I remember Palace's where posts seemed to comprise words of only one syllable or that ended in "ing"! By comparison, this forum is about the best I've seen and I'm sure one of the main reasons is the wide range of posters. Imagine if everyone on the forum was the same - especially if they were all like some of the moaning whingers. What makes this forum what it is is the wide variety of posters, with different age groups represented ( so different experiences following the club) some who bring a bit of humour to the forum to compensate for others who appear to have had humour bypasses. No one has to like every poster, so just skip over posts from those who irritate or whose content is of no interest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
