he was banned because SWF really can't afford to lose anymore customers to other sites at the moment after the huge drop in activity since the ridiculous £5 fee was introduced. many have already realised that SaintMike's forum is the future of online Southampton FC discussion, including the owners of SWF who have no choice but to attempt to stop the hoards of posters migrating towards better lands.

I use several forums and have no problem with a few emails offering a second home for me to use. Each forum can offer something and I find it small minded for someone to be banned because he wanted others to visit his site. Just because you may visit doesn't mean you will use it. SaintMikes forum will not suit everyone and I feel that by reacting in the manner they have SW are showing a real fear of opposition. If they are so scared why don't they go and take a look at what is on offer? They would be allowed to leave their link as SaintMike does not bar them. All forums have something to offer and I for one have trawled this one on several occasions. Indeed if the management wern't so small minded I would willingly pay the £5 that they require to become a full member. I am not alone in using several forums and I know that a few on SaintMikes forum are full members of this one. So I am requesting the ban be lifted and links be allowed. There is nothing to lose because a few more people would probably do as me and appreciate that a fair and even playig board means confidence in ones own site. All sites have something different so let competition begin. You might even surprise yourselves by starting to reclaim lost members.

I don't quite think his forum is the future. To be fair, this place still has 2000 active users, waaaaaay more than his forum. It's a nice little forum, don't get me wrong, but this place is still much better, in quantity of people and quality of posts(purely because there are more people).

 

Basically, this place isn't dead yet, far from it. I think alot of the people who are no longer logging in are the people who logged in just to read the main forum as well. I'd like to know the statistics for people who visit the site including guests for before and after the £5 fee. Then you will see the REAL affect of the introduction of payed membership.

Hello SaintMike! :D

Robsk II your use of the English language is pathetic. Unless of course you were talking about your looking in your bedroom mirror at all your friends. And believe me that is information that I don't need to know.

"I'm no Sinner" you need to get your facts straight before you make such infantile statements. A quick check would show you that I am very easy to find. You only have to check out the other site to see that I am not he.

SaintAndy666 I must agree that this site has a more varied and busier usage due to the larger base. You have at least taken a look and made your own decision as to whether you wish to use the other site. You are not alone.

The heading on the main page says Unlimited access to all members who pay the £5 per year fees. This patently is not so.

Ponty you would have been the only person on the site at that time but it does not count to the posts unless you have actually posted as a guest. You always have the opportunity to visit though with your larger base you probably don't feel the need. Understandable. However all I would like is an answer to the question that our small site asked. Perhaps you or one of your fellow administrators would like to give us five minutes of your time to explain exactly how we are a threat to you. You have a vastly superior product at the moment due to your far greater experience and fan base. If I paid my fees which I must admit are not excessive, with the improvements you are bringing. How do I or anyone else post from another site(including mine/one's own) without incurring your wrath.

I have little knowledge of how to do these things without printing word by word from whatever site I have visited. Indeed as you are probably aware one of the sites I have visited seems to have folded. I presume that you know which one. I am retired and have followed SOUTHAMPTON FC for over half a century. No medals needed. I will as my title suggsts follow our team until I am no longer able. Simple fact.

I have a young family that is reaching the ages where I feel comfortable taking them to see our team. Obviously I am not, on my money, able to go very often. This is saddening to me as I always enjoyed going to the Dell and like many others have still to take to St Marys. On Saturday I will be going with two of my kids and hope, obviously, for a good game and result.

My use of the internet is merely, like many, to keep in touch with other fans. If one of you admin chappies could either answer my query on here, or visit the site this thread is about, I know it would be appreciated. I might add not just by myself. I apologise for going on but I do have a tendency to ramble.

Well, I'm a little confused but I thought I'd got away with it.

 

Being serious though, it doesn't bother me at all who uses what other sites. If they didn't like this one they wouldn't be here complaining about it, they'd just stop using it.

I think the question is :

 

"Why did Saint Mike get b-anned from h-ere?"

 

B-cause he s-pammed PMs to l-oads of m-embers who c-omplained.

 

W-e have no t-olerance for s-pammers.

i am unaware of saint mikes forearm, he obviously knew better than to PM me........

 

I just checked, and he PM'd me. I feel ashamed I never went to his fore arm.

 

One interesting [sic] thing, the link to his website in my PRIVATE messages, now just contains a load of asterixes. There is still some sort of html code, because all the aterixes are underlined just like a web link.

 

Click on it, and guess where it goes???

What the hell are you babbling on about, you bizarre loser? Sad, strange little man.

Robsk II whilst my use of the English language is not perfect and I have been known to make the odd spelling mistake I am not a d##k as implied in your moronic reply to my earliest post. Put that with the statement in my reply and even a person of such limited vocabulary and intelligence should understand what I said. If you would like, I will draw you some pictures. Only problem with that is the fact I'd be banned as well, probably. That I am not ready for as of yet.

Miserableoldgit I laughed at your reply. Thankx.

Ponty would it be worth my while asking you by PM?

I've really answered as well as I can re. the banning. He was banned for spamming users the link to his website via PM. I know the PMs are fact as we had complaints as the PMs were unsolicited.

 

That said, you're welcome to PM me if anything is unclear.

To be brutally honest, the chances of your usage of the vernacular being superior to mine are rather slender. Also, challenging my intellect and vocabulary is fine, commendable even; something I welcome from those who have something to offer. Unfortunately I am afraid you've given little to suggest you are capable of questioning either.

 

Feel free to draw some pictures though. I expect your carers restrict you to using crayons. Harsh, perhaps, but given your predilection for being retarded, those nasty sharp pencils could get up your nose, in your eyes, anywhere. Admitedly, up the nose may hold only a limited danger for someone like you, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

 

It is folly to enter a war of wits or words when you are so evidently unarmed.

 

Oh, also? D*ck.

BTW I-N-S it's 'proper' :D:D

 

But you're right; I love to see the attempts at baiting the non-ginger one on here. It's a no-brainer as 9 times out of 10 the antagonist will lose.

Doh! Would you believe me if I said it was intentional?? :confused:

 

Put yourself in my shoes. It's very unlikely now, isn't it...

SaintRetard went all quiet.

 

It may because the thought of defeat to your superior intellect and rhetoric has so intimidated him that he has gone off to lie down in a darkened room and sulk.

 

 

 

Or it could be that he has just used up his three posts for the day.
