Why not?

Becuase The Roar reads like it was written by an aids-riddled monkey on steroids with nappy rash. And that's at its best.

FFT uses outdated forum software because it allows them to have the parallel forum/article comments synchronised.


They should just update the site to Invision Power Board (like what mine is made from). It does exactly that.

I'll be willing to help them out with advice in exchange for a moderator/admin position. :twisted:

EDIT: But yes, there's also nothing wrong with seeing MF's name and avatar and deciding "I don't feel like reading that" and then not reading it. How brilliant!

I think he means the manual override! :d

Thank you for your support guys, I am going to try extra hard to be a good corporate citizen, although I feel I'm much more fun if I antagonise people every now and then.

By the way, is it appropriate that there is a swear word in the title of this thread?

Fail thread fails. What a shit bunch of reasons to ban MF.

To some overly sensitive types it's like AFL is up there with abhorrent things like murder, rape and (dare I say it) religion.

Suck it up. Or even better, use the ignore feature!

Do we really need a thread solely for a running total on how many new dog memberships GWS sold? Shut that shit down.


A soccer fan started the thread to compare WSW and GWS, and there's a broad consensus that WSW have done very, very well in their first season.

Occasional updates of GWS' memberships do not detract from that and add to the conversation.

Start a thread with running tallies of Gatorade sales in Western Sydney. It's about as relevant to AF as GWS memberships.

I'd love to know what grounds Girt reckons he's reported notorganic for :lol:

I wonder which Big Footy account this troll is owned by.


TBF there's not a lot wrong there, bit of an exaggeration, sure, but still not much to argue with imo.

One thread is more than enough, League, Union, American Football get one thread. AFL is no different.

There's individual threads for those respective codes in ET. We accept that, it's ET - off topic. But constant threads about AFL in the Australian Football sub-forum are unwarranted, unnecessary trolling and subsequently (I and many others believe) unacceptable.

The solitary AFL thread isn't the issue. The issue is Mr Troll up there with his non-stop barrage of pointless, bullshit trolling. That's the shit that needs to go him, and his lame trolling.
