    This site

    Some cracking discussions on the go across a few threads today.

    I see .net getting pelters at times but there’s some great chat on here today, good to see it.

    I’m not being sarcastic. First time in ages I’ve sat for a few hours on here reading and contributing, and enjoying the chat.

    It makes for lots of discussion. It’s just shame a lot of it is hyperbolic nonsense.

    I can’t remember the last time the site was as negative.

    It’s like a game at Hampden, people nowhere to be seen all season all of a sudden pop up. It’s the same when we’ve lost a few games, people who are nowhere to be found after good results appear fae nowhere.

    As long as discussion stays that way, it's when individuals on both sides of the coin take things too far. I like both sides of every debate but hate it when posters start ramming their views down your throat or or turn sarcastic.

    There’s more drink than usual taken at Hampden finals.
    Theres more drink than usual knocking around the house in early January.
    So many parallels.

    It was probably as negative around Oct/Nov 19 when people where getting called bed wetters and ruining the site for wanting Hecky out. It seems for some if you don't post everything is rosey it really offends people when overall, positive or negative we all want what's best for our club.

    I agree.

    I find it quite easy to just ignore the people I know will be dogmatically sticking to one position or another. There aren't all that many, no need for ignore functions, just skim read their posts and move on. There are loads of people who are quite analytical, break things down well and whilst not always agreeing with them it's good to read their opinion.

    Ultimately people can choose to make their contribution to the board one that is constantly moaning, constantly moaning about moaning, constantly trying to drag an argument from one thread to another or they can contribute in a positive manner and improve the board for everyone, including themselves.

    Well said.

    People have different views of how they see Hibs being run and coached. Not everyone shares the happy clapper way of thinking that th eclub can do no wrong and always back the manager. It does get tiring when you disagree with that way of thinking you get labled a Jambo,seen it many times.

    I do think people are starting to be more accepting and realistic that Jack Ross isn't doing as well as it appears through the league table.

    I agree it is a positive forum when the criticism is constructive and there is a lot to learn even as a supporter, some excellent analysis from the viewpoints of fans.

    We all want what’s best for Hibs, no question. Nobody is asking for continuous happy clapping but there’s a middle ground between that and the site being as downbeat as it is.

    Not if people are posting comments like 'Hermit Crap', surely?

    Now theres a wee thread about the site, my only real criticism of it is that we go into lockdown every time we get a bad result 🤣 reeks of hurt and paranoia lol. Apart from that, well run site with a few good debates!

    I'm sure that's more to do with the traffic slowing down the site and nothing to do with acting childish. I'm happy it's that way.

    The sheer weight of traffic after a bad result means we have to restrict access to registered members otherwise nobody would get on. It’s nothing to do with trying to hide anything. As the carnage that is revealed when we open up the site to everybody again often demonstrates.

    I know I can sometimes be sarcastic and I apologise sincerely if it annoys people, it's just that it's less offensive than coming straight out and calling someone a cock.

    Actually I recently got told off for using the smiley. It is a ‘snidely wee’ apparently.

    Become a member (not a cock, just a member) and you’ll not suffer the lockdown stuff. You’ll still get called names of course, and there are those easily offended, but it’s a tenner a year well spent.

    😂

    To be fair. Anybody that gets offended by chat on a fans forum must be a cock.
