RTG Mag Subforum?

[Roger]

It isn't really something I want to create but I am beginning to think it might be the lesser of 2 evils.

I know I am not alone in coming on here and being irritated by the huge numbers of threads about them up the road. Sure, some are bumped up by Mags on here but the vast majority are created by Sunderland Fans and it appears many are as obsessed about the Mags as they are about us.

We have tried moving the majority of posts into one thread but that hasn't worked and its not unusual to see 10-20 new threads about them started in a day!

Clearly it would be impossible to ban any discussion about them and even banning all the Mags (which I am not going to do) wouldn't prevent a lot of people on here creating threads about them.

If I do create one, all such threads will be shovelled up/moved into a single subforum and we won't allow any new threads in the main Pure Football forum.

Thoughts? Good idea? Bad Idea? Alternative suggestions?

No, this is a Sunderland message board not a Mag one.

 

[Zig81]

Good idea, it’ll keep the mag twats in one place (if only).

Great idea. Currently 13 thread on page 1 alone.

 

[Rottie]

just keep hoying absolutely everything into 1 thread, if it becomes a jumbled mess who cares.

 

[Manny F]

Good idea. A yes from me.

 

[Riot Shot Pint]

No

 

[peasmarshmakem]

Worth a try... Good luck

 

[North Yorks Mackem]

No. This is a Sunderland message board.

 

[West_Winger]

Come on, @Roger you could surely have created a poll

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

Just hoy it in the politics thread

Same shite tbf

Do the match threads go into the "one big thread"?

 

[chriswallace85]

I'd say no.

However, if you do, lock it so it's members only.

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

No. This is a Sunderland message board.

You need to find a North Yorkshire one mate

 

[Secret Visage]

It would dilute the level of discussion on PF, but would it improve it?

If you go ahead with it, title the sub forum The Unwashed.

This. A mag thread is enough.

There are ligitimate topics discuss though. Just because they are our rivals doesn't mean we should get precious about that. Anyone objecting to mag content is free to start a more interesting thread to knock it down the page.

 

[MackneyHackem]

I'd say no.

Agreed. Parsnip vibes.

 

[Burnopfield Mackem]

Great idea, sick to death of threads on Mags, many a good thread is ruined by pathetic bickering between us and them. Do it ASAP please.

 

[wigwams]

Just delete them or shift into 1 thread

 

[Rottie]

matters not to me because I never read it tbf.
I would guess a match day thread would dominate the whole thread at that moment in time anyway.

There are topics of interest without doubt but most threads are repetitive shite.
