welcome superchris. Thumb up

You'll find my posts to be most agreeable. Very refined and erudite. And I keep everyone up to date about Coronation St and the Toronto Blue Jays. Big Grin

Think you will find Chris is a girl. She was a pretty prolific poster on the old 606.

While that obviously isn't an issue to us on here, it maybe could explain why the number of regular posters has dropped from around 80 to about 15 since the 606 days. I remember when Smudge did the prediction league, there being over 50 players.

On the Wednesday Forum on Facebook, there are over 3000 members (including SuperChris57 & GassyOwl) and over 250 posting every week.

Just a few thoughts if you want to increase numbers. On the other hand, we can keep it to us 15 but numbers will probably drop soon due to several members being cemetery side of 50.

The Facebook forum is full of scrotes.

Of course there are idiots who just insult other posters on there with over 3000 members but there are quite a few astute & thoughtful posters who make interesting contributions.

The problem with it is that you have to wade through all the shit to find the decent posters.

That is true but the new Forum is so much better because it is actively managed and the morons are kicked out.
