Never mind. You* can just let it die and then pretend the zombified remains are the same thing**.



*Not you personally, you have never been to see either incarnation of Rangers

Saw this on twitter.

I was probably half of that just on the 2 second clip of Goldson slipping against Motherwell.

If you lie with dogs and all that. Why you and Bennett still bother puzzles me. 

The number of posters bothering about P&B is diminishing rapidly - certainly when it comes to the main Premiership/GN/Politics/Scotland threads.  You just have to look at the paucity of new threads/replies to threads to see that The P&B is just around the corner.  Bit of a shame but not surprising given the way the board has failed to evolve over the past few years. 

Big game for us tomorrow, though.  Qualifying for the EL group stage was magnificent but we need to start racking up Premiership points and tomorrow is an easy opportunity.

I normally ignore your posts on the Sevco threads as they show the above levels of insight but just notice that you're in Palo Alto.

Are you enjoying yourself?  When I joined Xerox after Uni as a management trainee in 1984 I spent a month at PARC  and absolutely loved the area.

Kinx desperate to keep Sevco relevant by posting any kind of shite on their thread.

Hes being spouting that P&B is dying pish ever since I joined.

Probably just wants a typically underhanded dig at Div since he fucked off the auld bigots various grassing attempts.

You just have to look at the paucity of p&b'ers who can be arsed replying to the alcoholic bigot to know the old fucker is getting lonely, hence the lashing out and "ignore us and the forum is dying pish".

Tbf it must be pretty horrendous spending hours crafting posts with vocabulary last used by Dickens only for it to receive no replies and just the same 2 likes from the only other remaining bears of the old guard, who are yet to receive a lifetime ban and have a combined IQ of 47.

His literary prowess wasted on just 2 credulous bayard's, one can only speculate on the magnitude of his despondency.

Yes, it does feel like it's in decline a bit, which is a shame.

Genuinely though, how do you think the board should have "evolved" to counter this?

I’m sure  there will be a SevcoRangers ‘event’ just round the corner - whether financial, criminal, general rule bending, corruption or their own unique brand of all-round c***ishness which will reactivate the forums

I don’t think he’s wrong. I’ve been an avid reader of this forum since it’s inception and there’s much less discussion than there used to be. The reputation system has been a poor introduction in my opinion as lots of  threads get derailed and spoiled by folk spouting pish desperate for likes.

Well there is the cultural aspect.  This is partly (though not exclusively) down to P&B turning from a broad-ranging discussion forum to a Sevco-obsessed mess.  You saw this when our manager made a throw-away remark about referees after the Aberdeen game.  I counted 7 active Rangers threads that evening.  This is horrific stuff.  Now I know that Ken Fuckall is trying to be tongue-in-cheek in his post but, in his clumsy and inane way he isn't wrong.  I quote:

The decline has been gradual over a few years but has accelerated rapidly over, say, the past 12 months.  Like you, I'd prefer it to be reversed and would start with the board's structure.  We currently have too many forums and sub forums.  The present set-up needs to be pared back.  We have a structure that was fine when active users could be counted in their thousands and match threads could attract 411 users and more.  We now have hundreds of active users and match thread numbers can be counted in their tens on a good day. 

What we have, though, is the equivalent of an old country mansion with several wings which, at its peak, was occupied regularly but has  been near-abandoned apart from a few rooms.

The upside of a serious rationalisation and culling of forums/sub-forums is that it brings the active users together rather than dissipating them as it does now.  As a trivial example, I browsed through the board a few minutes ago and had no real memory of us having an NFL thread.  Seems to be fairly active but is hidden in the bowels of the forum.  Equally, looking at posts about Scotland requires more clicks than is necessary and the 'Tartan Army Ramblings' is in an odd place.  Streamlining the board would, hopefully, draw one in to some new topics and make potentially popular topics easier to access.

'Easy to access' is, of course, important.  The likes of you and me who have posted on here for a decade plus may be ok with such a clumsy arrangement but the competition for P&B is Twitter, Instagram  and indifference.  Easing the board's accessibility will stave of the competition pro tem.  The cultural issue of indifference is trickier.  How you get a discussion group dominated by Sevco-obsessed, empty-headed Yesser sweetie-wives to be winsome to new entrants is much trickier.  This is one I'll leave to people more adroit with social media than me.
