The future of The Fishy

Quoted from bradzmilne

Think blaming the school holidays is abit harsh.

Sorry Brad, wasn't directed at you or younger posters in general, more of an observation that this sort of trolling does tend to increase in the Summer holidays - particularly when there's no football on!

Aaron tries far to hard to be popular and funny.

Not everyone wants to read 'did you see me' or some may not find your humour their cup of tea.

I posted Ask Marinerian to get some banter started but I made the choice not to do it to often.

Also not everyone will agree or like you. I am sure a fair few posters can not stand me. People have to realise people have different personas. Fir example people behave differently during different situations. You are likely to behave differently at work than they do at football or at home with the family. I remember studying it during Sociology A level course.

Some of the topics discussed have seemed to have made people tense and frustrared, this has made the board and the posters very annoyed and wound up at times
I
am sure Aaron is a decent lad but he just needs to find a gf or bf to help pre-occupie his spare time!

Thefishy is a good laugh. I read it for a good year before I joined and electronic fishcake which was awful read with the old layout, some say its not what it use to be well what is? England not what it use to be nor is grimsby or the club itself.


It will improve, I've used foul language and post crap but I don't do it as often now. Few weeks when the football is flowing so with the debate.

Quoted from aaron rattray

Do i post about buying eco carriers? Do i start of a thread like the 1 minute ago 10 seconds ago ect just for the urine take?, or start a new thread to ask where i can buy fifa or football manager?

Um Bongo seriously wonders why you post "did anyone see me?" after town games, Um Bongo cannot decide whether you are lonely or just want hugs?

Quoted from Hagrid

As a new poster, I hope I am not being victimised by the actions of others, I will not post drivel or balderdash or silly little troll messages, but post my views and how I see things. Not to the 10 posts a day of others as I am at work, but before anyone starts, no I aint no troll!

Sorry, you've been outed by the grammar police....two negatives make a positive, ergo you are a troll!

I recently signed upto the Fishy to post on a non football thread that was close to my heart. For the record I was born within a stones throw of Blundell Park saw my first town game in 1972 and now exiled in Shropshire, I have suffered the highs and lows of town for nearly 50 years. The fishy is the lifeline that keeps many of us in touch with the fortunes of our beloved club. I have great respect and admiration for the way this board is run but the one thing I don't like  is new posters like myself having to run the gauntlet of flack. I have seen to many first time posters shot down in flames because of objections to their point of view or because they don't live in the local area. I like the banter but this personal stuff has to stop, otherwise the fishy will spiral out of control descending into a free for all putting people off.

Read my new thread before it gets deleted mate

Quoted from aaron rattray

There are some trolls on this board who know nothing about football and these threads what sometimes appear about an eco carrier

I think if you don't average at least 0.50 posts a day you should removed because they just post once in a bluemoon about random excrement

This is the reason that some give you a hard time, please think about what you write.  My "average" is 0.18 ish, but when I comment it is usually football related and hopefully reasoned.  I'm 47, read the Fishy everyday and remember the "Electronic Fishcake" well (can you?)
