Popular Post GinBoy2 Posted December 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2018 It's kinda curious to me how many active members of TVF actually exist. I know it's impossible to permanently delete your account, presumably for advertisement sales purposes. That being said, there seems to have been, at least anecdotally a tail off in member posts, especially the dearth of long time posters. Are we seeing a fundamental shift in TVF, or the expat community in general? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post madmen Posted December 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2018 Judging by the same old threads being recycled [emoji748] for weeks I think shows a downturnAnd the same 20 or so hard core members appear to be driving the posts on every new topic 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GinBoy2 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2018 I also see an increasing trend towards displaying threads that are years old. Is this clickbait to try to drive posts? Certainly I never used to see this before, which again sorta reinforces my belief that something is afoot 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then they add a comment maybe to a thread which is years old. And then that thread shows on top of the list again and maybe other people answer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2702 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 OK I'm gonna put a few votes in as I know a few hard-core posters and I'll give my reasons for there nominations: @BangrakBob for knowing next to nothing about the history of his favourite sport/club but he can read analysis really well and pass it off as his own. @Bredbury Blue for forcing his whole family to have matching man city tattoos. There's 8 in his camp. @carmine the sunshine of so many peoples lives @RonniePickering22 great guy but sadly a Spurs fan. @Kadilo as above but a spammer. @3 minus 2 most improved user of a spellchecker in 2018. Well DUN! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree,there was a time when anything i posted was attacked by mainly 3 posters who no longer post on here,this in turn led me to become as bad as i should have ignored them,so i stopped using tvf for about 6 months. I think now the forum is a lot calmer and friendlier than it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
