It was quite lively when I first went on back in 2003/4...but as with most things it deteriorated over time into the usual group who would not stand for anything said against whichever owner was in place...except Massone; almost everyone slated him...but it was often good for a laugh & a chance to wind up the folk who took themselves too seriously.
Once they guys left to set up the Lion's Den it left a few decent folk like Liviforever, Orco, Budgie, Col Durward & a few other including me trying to find things to chat about & occasionally argue over but still actually get on with each other (unlike the dearly departed who fell out with anyone that disagreed with them).
I do frequent the Lion's Den a bit but its sleepy hollow over there, lots of threads, even some threads where folk that wouldn't utter a negative comment about the club now doing so (in essence agreeing with things they disagreed with before leaving Livilions). So I'll probably go have a look at the other site that I didn't even know about until now.
