'Established' posters posting less ?

[SaulGoodman]

Whatever happened to The Cat?

Couldn’t stand the heat in the Hibs.net transfer rumour kitchen.

[J-C]

I really hope not. He was a very good forum member.

He's on Twitter most of the time, not taking any sides here not he had enough of .net and felt it was time to go, it happens.

[son of haggart]

Ah, my mistake. It was a poster called Stanley and for whatever reason I think I got it in my head you were related :greengrin

Similarly, my children have a very loose attachment to Hibs, despite STs, merchandise and subliminal influence all their lives. I dread to think what they would make of football forums.

Ah. I get it now. He’s my nephew and I’d forgotten all about him being on here. Age......

I agree with Peevemore, the longer you've been on here the more you see the same threads and discussions happening over and over again and the less engaged you become in it.

I also quite often find myself typing up replies to posts and then changing my mind halfway through and scrapping it as its not worth the bother. Sometimes trying to have a discussion on here can feel like p*ssing in the wind, particularly after a bad result or during things like the Lennon sacking this year.

I would also say that a lot of "established posters" will have been here for a number of years and life has probably got in the way of them posting as frequently as time goes on.


I know what you mean about typing replies then scrapping it, I’ve done that many a time.

I've been a member here for 11 years, and was a long time reader before that. As you’ve said, life does get in the way sometimes, my wife is about to have a baby and I’m sure it will impact my time to read and occasionally post on here.

And equally new frequent posters will emerge and contribute, in many manners :greengrin

[Brooster]

Slight change of tact but what intrigues me is the fact that I probably know lots of people on here without realising it. I know hundreds of Hibbys but only know the identity of about 12 on here. Saying that I do like the element of anonymity.

Only people who have met me from here are the guys who ran the supporters bus back when I lived in Edinburgh, under an older username!

Quite like the anonymity, but unlike social media I think people do tend to think a bit more about what they say before they post, as is forum etiquette.

[FilipinoHibs]

Well yes although everyone has probably been accused at one time or another!
Under previous account I was accused of being one during final days of the thieves admin or in bed with Alec Salmond. Yes Troll's get stones up on the west stand wall for their family name which was part of username here!

[Smartie]

I like the anonymity and get a bit paranoid that everyone seems to know each other on here yet I don't know anyone (first names, calling folk by initials etc).

My brother has been asked a few times if he is Smartie off here, as it is a nickname he tends to get more than me nowadays (it is the name I chose when I first joined back when I was at Uni, a nickname derived from a fairly obvious source).

One of my early memories of Hibs.net was sitting in one of the IT suites up at Dundee Uni. There was quite a lot of activity on here as Hibs had been rumoured to be making a major signing and announcing it that afternoon. There were all sorts of rumours about who it was going to be, most folk thinking it was going to be Marc Libbra (who had been with us on loan towards the end of the previous season) but it ended up being Frankie Moon (or Paco Luna if you prefer).

That was one of my early memories of losing what could have been a useful day's study to, frankly, a load of pish, although if it was really a load of pish then I wouldn't have chosen to repeat it as many times as I have since.

[Hibbyradge]

Could it be that some posters who have been more prolific in their time are posting less due to a sentiment of déjà vu - that often threads end up us reruns of others prviously posted numerous times and we end up going round in circles?

For example, currently on the main forum we have

New strip - bottle or dark green, collars, white shorts green shorts, purple/yellow/black change strip, why the need for a 3rd kit, etc. It's the same every season

European cup/CL winners to haave played for Hibs - been done

Celtic's poaching - we've been speaking about the ugly sisters doing this for years

McGeouch - again, has been discussed plenty both during and after his time at ER

Grant Holt - ditto McGeouch

Hearts/Levein medals - good fun but already done

I'm in no way criticising those who started these threads nor those who have contributed. For example, Holt brings out a book, it's news and there's Hibs content so it's normal that there's a thread, but then we get into whether Holt was decent or not, should we have kept him, etc. It's not surprising that those who voiced their opinions on Grant Holt in numerous relatively recent threads can't be bothered doing so again.

Yep. That's a good interpretation.

There are loads of threads that I don't even bother opening because I know what will lie within.

I do still post regularly, mostly pish obviously, but I'm nowhere near as prolific as I used to be.

[Glory Lurker]

Could be wrong of course but it wouldn't surprise me if the average number of weekly/monthly whatever posts have gone down a bit of late. 2012 through to the Cup win afterglow was packed with big talking points at ER and beyond, but it's calmed down for now.

I'd be interested to know how our stats compare to Kickback. I'm guessing we're, well, the bigger forum. I remember back to 2000-ish and our rivals site was way more busy than theirs. I wonder if the gap has narrowed since then, but if we are still busier I wonder why that is? I don't look at KB enough to get a feel for the atmosphere in there. Are we better moderated so that folk feel more inclined to contribute or even just read?

Then again, if our stats aren't stronger that whole last paragraph was rubbish!

Kickback has 29,000 members to our 14,000, and 7 million total posts to our 4 million.

It's always been the bigger forum, though I think that's in part down to the fact that we've always had two forums (.net and the Bounce) compared to their one.

If you look at the latest members, their IDs are 354xx range, so over the years we've not admitted/dropped/banned/lost 20,000 users :greengrin that's a fair whack.
Posts used to get trimmed too (although since the newer servers, not so much housekeeping). this is post 5,804,635.

don't they have more than one forum too?

The Bounce is much quieter nowadays.
It used to be known as 'the provisional wing' of the Hibs online folk.
A refuge for those banned from .net for being over argumentative, aggressive, annoying or just ****in radge.

When I joined in 2007 practically the first thing that happened was getting called a Yam. Not knowing any better I rose to the bait and went radge about it.

Also changed my user name to Nae Nookie from Bovril after another poster suggested I mustn't be getting any … I meant to change it back, but never did :greengrin

I'm happy to admit I'm one of the more verbose posters on here, a stick which is often used to beat me with by folk who don't agree with what I have to say, but hey ho I suppose that's why I don't do twitter. Anyway, its not my problem if folk are too lazy to read more than a sentence :na na:

Aye, the act of making a fairly routine and well-intentioned post needs to be heavily vetted against any number of things that warrant sarky/petty responses, or not having a spare hour to defend yourself. Sometimes the due diligence isn't really worth it.

I made the odd cheeky comment to him on the Sevco meltdown thread.

Personally I'd like to think that he's headed off to a happy retirement in the "orgasm denial" section of pornhub that my mate told me about, given he used to apply common sense and wisdom to that particular thread, stopping us from ever getting too carried away.

I’m biased, obviously, but under a quid a month is great value for the site, especially when you see how much we’re able to give Hibs as a result of our members etc.

I used to read h.net many times daily. Keep an eye on it, but it was miles better a few years ago. Posters like Filled Rolls, the Calendar Signing thread and pish like that. No one really is in the know and the private thread is barely worth a tenner a year these days, but you know... it’s still home.

I rarely look at the private members board, but it's just a wee something towards the site. A tenner is nothing.

That reminds me, can someone DM me a name and address I can send a tenner to. Not just to post a random tenner, for the PM board.

One hundred per cent :top marks

I'd be lost without .net

I'd probably be a lot more sensible without.net.

Never. It's who we are.

Yeah, that’s why I pay it. As I say, it’s home.

But the fact there’s no scoops doesn’t mean there aren’t a stack of folk who claim they’re in the know.

Good man, think we’re all just a bit wary of posting rumours now, for various reasons

Has there ever been a Hibs net get together?

Judging by the state of some threads on here it would be utter carnage :greengrin

He'll reappear if another club goes into Admin.

I think he's been a bit busy handling the Hibs takeover the last few months

Fingers crossed for the Huns then!

There was once talk of a Hibs Hearts get together from that Facebook group. Left it because of the personal abuse from Jambo huns aimed at my family and wife in particular.

Was there not one a million years ago, about 2000?

Yeah their loyal fans apparently gave Jake Mulraneys partner loads of personal abuse due to the fact they thought he was gash

If somebody organised one, I'd go.

Two of my sons on the net a lot. When they come off it their partners say: " Well have you learnt anything?". Me it is my third username. Almost on from the start. Had couple of years break after Hearts admin. Now retired so helps keep me busy.
