Trolling

There doesn't seem to be so many Yam trolls lingering around Hibs.net these days, which is good news. Just an observation.

There's a serious lack of trolls in general. Maybe they've changed their style?

There hasn't been many undercover Hearts fans on here for years despite the assertions of a few posters. In the early days of message boards it wasn't uncommon and the whole internet was a bit more 'nerdy' in those days so infiltrating a rivals site was probably a good laugh. The forum platform is increasingly dated and it's possible to just blatantly troll on platform such as Twitter without having to back up or defend your stance; with that being the case why go to the bother of trying to obscure your identity on a forum.

I often read posts about this site 'crawling' with Hearts fans and quite often get PMs stating that x, y or z is 'definitely a Hearts fan' and I don't think any of these accusations have ever been correct. The vast majority of people on here are genuine Hibs fans, some are moaners and some are negative but they are still Hibs fans.

Did you just assume PB's gender?

I already have my own. Don’t need to assume anyone else’s

[matty_f]

Tbf, they're woeful at it. No imagination, no sense of humour, and lacking in intelligence.

[FilipinoHibs]

There are still a few. They mainly play up Hearts and make out they are not as as on and off the pitch.

Then there are Hibs fans who are objectively critical about the club or may point out something that is proven to be true but is unpopular and difficult for some to swallow. This latter group are often portrayed as Yams.

[Barman Stanton]

There are still some Im sure. Is there not someone claiming to be a Hibs fan called Robbo27

Anyone accusing a Hibs fan of being a Hearts fan on here should be launched. Well, a temp ban at the very least!

I don’t know, so I might be wrong, but I think you’re a Jambo infiltrator. Because you post like one.

Well, let me assure you, you are wrong.

Firstly, I wouldn’t know how a ‘Jambo infiltrator’ would post anyhow and, secondly, how do you?

On the transfer thread, about Cummings:

"Does anyone know who he supported as a boy?"

You might be on to something, Jacomo...

Don’t care about you being a sparryheid but I got the Bobby Darin stuff and your Username. Who is that lovely old lady in your avatar now though?

Right.

No sparryheid, for sure!

Well spotted on the Bobby Darin, Mack the Knife, Lucy Brown stuff though!

The lady you ask about is just someone I happened upon, who is called Lucy Brown. Nothing more sinister than that, Your Holiness.

My guess is she's Liam Henderson's great granny.
