Stats wise PRE really peaked in 2007. Amazing number of posts/posters back then. Many of them quality.

Can't speak for others but I have met M33 once or twice at c80 functions. Wouldn't call us 'friends' as such but seems a nice enough guy.
Have met many PRenders over the years.

I have no idea what you're talking about sorry.

Not if you've spent the night on the turps with him watching the old Wallace Tigers get flogged by 120 pts by Footiscray at Gustiger's old house here in Chiangers.
I remember Krakouer alone was worth about 1000 posts that night ;D

That's interesting. Diggles and Laff cop harassment that's against the site guidelines but they post within the rules, they abide by moderator requests and they aren't abusive towards other posters. Not sure why people keep up with the Melbourne references. I look forward to their return. Hope they've been working on their material though. It's good to get an occasional laugh on here.

I know Newman and Geordie Tiger from here.
Both nice blokes.
Will see you both again this year at a game I'm sure.
I bumped into struggletown one game but that was years ago.
A bloke who used to be on here and i have made friends with is MadTiger.
Loves his prog rock and his Tigers.

I reckon this is still a very good forum and those who contribute on here are being sold a bit short imo. They mightn't be part of any cliquey in-group and they mightn't pump their own tyres and make a lot of noise but their input is appreciated by many.
I don't see Facebook and Twitville as any competition to PRE. People can use whichever kind of format they want to. I notice there's a lot less abuse on the forum these days so maybe those sites do us a favour. There are plenty who really enjoy PRE still...there are others here who probably don't enjoy it as much...there are no walls holding them in though. I'd rather spend time with a dozen posters who abide by the site rules and discuss opinions civilly than a thousand fools inflating figures.

Agree about Disco. He was the person I thought would be good to take over the reigns on PRE. I'll be forever grateful for the time and effort he put into this site. A massive effort.
Don't agree an amnesty is the best idea. It's an easy call to make if you don't help with the moderating and probably wouldn't be affected by any carnage and abuse. There have been some absolute some real cyber bullies and abusers on here over the years.
This is an example from one person on CC's opening list.
It's a fair spray but far from the worst I've copped. The mind boggles at the thought of him discussing hatred of me, someone he doesn't even know, with 30 odd people. Obsessed much? :hihi
He also made me aware he knew my address and that he was with a couple of people when they made an anonymous phone call to harass me. The police were involved due to threats I was receiving at the time. He told me he'd never pass my address on to the bullies..."...unless...". He also posted very ordinary comments on a website that was set up to harass and ridicule myself, other posters here and this website in general. That's just one example of the kind of behaviour I wouldn't really want welcomed back.
An amnesty wouldn't make much difference to a lot of posters, even many mentioned on this thread.
Some have left of their own volition. Some have changed usernames. Some had dual identities. One even had an accout as a female and one as a male. Amusing to watch certain people responded differently to both. Never knew if the roosters were preening their feathers for a ladyboy...not that there's anything wrong with that.
Some read but don't post. Some have passed away. Some didn't like the abuse and moved on. Some changed priorities. Some thought there was too much bullying. Some got bored. Some refused to abide by mod requests and ignored warnings.
Those who've been blocked made a fair effort to get in that situation. The rules are the same for all of us but some think they're above them and not only refuse to abide by them they go out of the way to breach them. The majority of posters on this forum don't have any issues. They are simple rules.
If people think they, unlike us mere mortals, are above the rules and refuse to abide by moderators requests then they virtually choose their own fate.
I think there was a bit of mischief in starting this thread considering many of those mentioned have been discussed in the past. It's been interesting reading just the same.
