Come on guys, we're a new board and we need you guys posting to survive! I had a look at the other Cardiff boards earlier and it's the same old depressing stuff, fans all having a go at each other, names, insults and all the rest. It never used to be like that, messageboards were a laugh and that's what we're trying to get back with this board!

When you check in and see a post, give it a comment before you go! Your new board needs YOU!

If you are on this list and you post in this or any thread - I will give 20 bonus RBMB points to get you going!

Don't be shy - we are not scary

Any chance of my 'Brucie Bonus' - I could do with the points!!!

Rhys'll sort it all out tomorrow, I've given you some flair though!

Cheers, I knew I liked you for a reason.

:D In that case, have some more! :laughingabit:

It's hard to permanently pull away from CCMB after the entertainment you got from it for years but it does seem beyond repair at the moment. When the mods are so clearly pushing their agendas and any alternative views getting instantly shot down (by posters who have admitted they rarely went before anyway!!!) you do question why you still bother

I think a lot of us felt the same despair as you did - I loved ccmb but just got so fed up of it. To be honest, though, I am missing ccmb less and less everyday as this forum is just getting better & better imo because of the people that post on it.
Get stuck in, you won't regret it im sure.

This ^^^

I agree with both of you. It's a new era though, so let's embrace it. Take what was good from the past and create some great new stuff for the future.

(Is this thread in danger of getting rebranded to the Rebranding section?)

Well said Rhys, TH63 described this site as frivolous like it was a bad thing. The frivolity is a reaction to the dark place that the other boards are in. This board will have 'more substance' or more to say about football etc. when the time is right. There are lots of clever, funny and passionate posters on here but the common attribute is that everyone is decent. So for now let's bond, take the piss in a safe way, have fun and let's prepare for the cracking season ahead

I got banned from there for pointing out facts about the said agenda, and I had been a member of CCMB for 15 years! And in all that time I have never insulted or threatened anybody, just enjoyed having a good laugh. Me thinks somebody over there has lost the plot, it all seems very wrong at the moment ...

I still have a read every now and again, and it is shocking how people are speaking to one another

I'm not posting because I don't have anything to say at the moment - the 20 points will come in handy though

I've been trying to provide a bit of balance on CCMB as it had seemed to calm down recently but the meeting tonight has kicked everything off again and Baker is there to just wind everything up even more if he can

All in all this is a great place to come back to. You are right that I should post more but I think all the CCMB regulars have got used to mostly reading and commenting. It's hard to start threads for the sake of it when you're my age :-)

Give it a go, you might find you have a hidden talent I've started hundreds of threads over on CCMB (with most of them being rubbish ), and I even got into the 'Big Threads' section

Spot on. It's definitely in response to what's been going on elsewhere and I kind of like it tbh - I'm all up for some quality city related topics when the season starts - I do think though it's a shame when a forum loses all it's sense of fun and it becomes a not very enjoyable place to visit, it's not what people log in for.

I think it will take a little while to really get on our feet, but the more people who join in, the better it will get

Yes - just give it a go! I pretty sure that a lot of people on here respect what you have to say

Points added! :)

I'd also like to mention the lack of ego's, which is refreshing We are all equal on here

I think that I am possibly more equal than your Mr dots but there are other posters who are nearly as equal as me.....
