Excellent work. 

That is all.

I drink my tea.

It has been their fault up to now. But in future they will be responsible for everything that is right.
That is a wildly over-optimistic view not born out by history.

I prefer his pessimistic approach than those that predict us to win every game then cսnt off others for not doing the same. 
Yep prefer his 'type' than a simple optimistic, the fucking cringebags.

Sir Alf is alright just been worn down into a pessimist by too many years of supporting West Ham. Gets way too much abuse and doesn't bite back.

He might not have left, he might still be halfway through typing out one of his enormous posts.

It's sad that a long time poster like Sir Alf was abused and run off the site by some because he was too 'negative'. Rarely posts now.

Banners look good.

Now let’s get some more traffic to the site.

It was on A previous banner, I expect Ged put it on there himself when the site became his vanity project. If you have a library of old banners I'll be able to tell you which one it is and draw a circle around his big red penfold head.
He once banned me when I said he looked like character Meggy from 'This is England'.

As I stated. I visit and post on this site out of habit mainly. If the site suddenly closed I wouldn't lose any sleep over it and would quickly move on. This site is not my life and it's merely just a distraction for me.

If my visiting and posting on this site offends you, then that's your problem. Maybe seek some therapy regarding your obsession with a random person on an internet forum you don't know and have never met.
No it doesn't offend me it amuses me.. It's a forum, someone posts something then someone else responds to it. I think slagging it off at every given opportunity when others have put in their own time to keep it going makes you a rude cսnt. 

If you don't like people replying to you and giving their opinion, and if makes you cry don't give yours in the first place and there'll be nothing to reply to, you donut. 

I have never slagged off the site or the people responsible for building the new site. In fact I have commended them for their efforts building the new site many times in the past.

I simply pointed out that all this work is far too late given the old site was left to rot for many years to the extent that it was largely unusable - particularly on match days when it would regularly crash.

Whilst Wills claims the traffic is increasing etc, the fact is that still only about a dozen people regularly post on here and the site in moribund compared to places like Facebook, Kumb, BBC HYS, X etc.

And yes, I will likely move over to Kumb at some point. I continue to post on here though out of habit and I suppose a sense of loyalty.
48 posters today.  Just FYI. Daily average over the last 3 month...65+.

Not thousands, but not 12 either. And as Wils says it is growing...slowly but surely.

And we have plans to keep it growing. What we could really do with is people promoting the site on those other channels.  As forums go, from a function and features perspective this is pretty much as good as anything else out there or better now and getting better all the time.

We just need to re-spread the word. We have some plans in place to get back towards what it was at one point...the place to go for West Ham info....the space is very fragmented now with lots of different channels and mediums to consume.

We'll try and make this somewhere you can get the overview of all that stuff and then discuss it cohesively (instead of being fragmented all over the place)...but it's a process.

Will take time....but we're working on it.

As you were.

I called you an attention seeking whore actually, you post on a site most days while calling it shit and wishing it died, you're also a bit dim if you can't see that. You often dig people out (as we all do) but when anyone engages with you and disagrees they're a stalker. 
You have your  opinion of the site and were blunt I gave my blunt opinion of your blunt opinion.

What has your opinion of me being a so called attention seeking cսnt got to do with my statement that I wouldn't give a shit if this site closed down?

It's a dated, obscure football fansite that barely any cսnt uses anymore. Yeah, I'd be crying my eyes out if it shuts down!

I think oddball stalkers like you would miss it more than me.

All far too little, too late though. This is a dying, moribund website which I only still frequent and post on out of habit.

I wouldn't give a shit if it suddenly closed down, which is long overdue to be blunt.

The average daily number of posts on this site has been rising for the last two years.

The average number of posters engaging with the site, also.

All but one of the top 10 days by number of posts on the site have been for this current season and half of that top 10 has been since January.

You might have a case for people using fan forums less than they used to before social media. But as fans forums go, this one of the least dated and least obscure. Just have a look at the others across the Premier league and beyond.
