Nate Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Mike Baird's comments about the booing of Goodes. the oxygen thief basically said its wrong to boo Goodes, but it was ok to boo Wally Lewis. double standards from the toe rag.incidentally Lewis also attracted incessant abuse along with the booing. he was even booed when he captained Australia. If that's not shameful I'm not sure what is.(Lewis's "crime" was to be from Queensland and be easily the best rugby league player of his time.)if Lewis had refused to play would the good people of NSW have come out in support of him?whilst I'm dredging up this story the other thing that irks me is comments on Facebook by 2 people I know who wouldn't even know which team Goodes plays for & prior to this week probably wouldn't have even known who he was. Both now experts on racism in the AFL. Sigh.I've often found that it's the people who have no idea who are also the loudest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Yeah it's fucking putrid. Just went to quote you and a comment I started typing from months ago appeared lol.It saves the post that you are typing, which is a pretty handy feature, but yes it is annoying when it's a post you changed your mind about making months ago and it's still there. But personally I'd rather take the half second to delete the post I dont want to make in those circumstances, then having to retype some long post that I accidentally closed the browser while making.I concede that I probably upgraded to early as there are seemingly a lot of issues still, but they are some improvements and overall I'm confident with a few more updates it will turn out much better. I've just seen there is a new update I have to install so they are rolling them out pretty quickly.The main issue for me is that they seems to have tried to make the editor (the thing you type your posts in) too 'noob friendly' and now it's just a piece of shit and the source of 90% of the issues.Could probably make some minor improvement to the editor myself tbh, let me see.

n i k o Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 That is true Tesla, there have been a number of improvements with the new forum. And the majority of problems I encounter are with posting. Some examples of issues I've had are:-the cursor is flashing ready to type but the txt doesn't appear-when I click onto the 'box' to begin typing it loads back to the Melbourne City subforum-if I quote a picture I'm unable to scroll down below it to begin typing-when I begin typing the cursor often is located inside someone's quote rather than below it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Died of natural causes from chronic heart disease in his sleep. “He died of natural causes and was always likely to die suddenly due to chronic and serious heart disease, but he was entitled to die in peace, in the comfort of family and friends … He was entitled to die as a free man.”How about we don't lock up anyone then, heaven forbid some cunt might suddenly die while in custody instead of at home or on the street while blind drunk being a public nuisance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadete Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 TTIM: The AFL getting rid of its Eastern Seaboard Reserves to destroy the VFA... esp as it's now very highly likely that either the VFL will completely become an AFL Reserves Comp shortly or the AFL will just re-established an Eastern Seaboard Reserves League.And before someone says it... crowd attendances and def not league interest have not become higher since the AFL took over the comp as both have actually become lower and real hardcore fans of VFA clubs have just disillusioned and left to be replaced by theatre goers who like to spend the occasional free saturday to watch their Reserves side for free.
