I hope the little Australian boy that has run away from home in Marlborough because of being bullied by the local kids for being Australian. FFS New Zealand, we should be above this sort of bullying crap. Shame on the locals.

Good news.

Also, don't lump in Blenheim with the rest of New Zealand. Blenheim is its only little hole of intolerance.

I want to know who are all those people are that win around 21k or even $900. Because I have not met anyone as such. I mean that would pay for Christmas and a few bills too.

The FFA expecting the Phoenix to grow without their help. Seems like a bad way to treat an investment.

Fifa the FFA and Asian gootball federation not granting an exemption for nz footballers to play in Australia as domestic players.

Then the Phoenix getting bagged by Fox pundits for trying to develop their own domestic players.

I won 25K about 13 years ago, it definitely paid off a few bills & made things easier for quite a while!

Pain/weakness down my right leg. From hip to shin. Assume it's sciatic type pain but boy is it annoying. Comes on at the most annoying times...like walking down stairs

This forum deteriorating to next level bitching and in-fighting. I would call some of it cyber-bullying.

We're all (well mostly, I assume) grown ups so I vote we stop acting like fudgeing children.

Be interested to see the numbers - has the viewing dropped off? Prolific posters no longer posting?

I know a couple of guys who used to post on here quite a bit and now don't and both of them told me it's because they got sick of the bitching and infighting

I believe the level of bitching & infighting correlates to the level of PC BS & lack of humour that has taken over. 

No swearing. Fudge, COD, Shark. 

No talk against the Traveling Circus incase it annoys our friends who go to two games a year!

Threats of being banned if you deviate in threads (unless you are an admin, then its OK) 

Just my opinion on how I see it!

Actually there is talk about the Travelling Circus, that is why it has its own thread. Its people disagreeing with it being problem (or as big a problem as it is) and giving reasons (on why we have to have some games move) isn't the same as you aren't allowed to talk about it.

Admin hasn't banned anyone that I know of lately for going off topic, they are just asking people to stay on topic in threads so they stay relevant for others to read. There is always another thread or you are welcome to make your own if you want to discuss something in another place.

Side Note: I'm not speaking from an admin or fever elite position as I don't have powers to banned etc on the forums (Just to change thread headings and pin posts is all I can do). Just trying to give you my thoughts on that Hatter.

The points you raised are NOT the points I raised in my post. 

I didnt say you weren't allowed to discuss the Traveling Circus, it's certain viewpoints that have been expressed that admin don't agree with!,

& I didn't say people have been banned, I said people have been threatened with bans!

If you are having this type of pain frequently then it's worth getting checked out as it may be related to spinal issues.

Also ties in with the bullying message, I have been called a broken record, been on the receiving end of at least two cheap shots by people whom I thought better of as well as the snide remarks from someone who knows more information than the entire encylopaedia Britannica. Oh to be sooooo friggen knoweldgable.

I was never prolific, but I barely even read anymore let alone post, just any time someone takes offence, or calls you a cod, etc

I now read the offtopic threads, and the NFL ones and that is it. Just not worth it.

Seriously though, if people want to not come here because of this that's all good, do whatever you want to do for yourself. For me though, I agree that the ratio of funny or interesting or insightful posts to general bitching and whining has gone down from a few years ago, but I don't think it's that bad. To some extent this is just the internet - people going off topic and being dicks or staying on topic but just moaning about it. As far as places on the internet go, this site is actually pretty damn good. And I don't find it difficult to scroll past or ignore posts or threads like that. 

There is no better place on the net to discuss the Nix, the A League or kiwi football. It might not be perfect but go read Facebook or Stuff comments sections and see how you feel about them. For me it's simple - I love to talk about football and I am a Nix and AWs fan so where else would I go?

Huge thanks to the fever elite and the mods for keeping this place going. You guys do a great job. And people will bitch but remember....
