They nearly shut the place down when their awful new site came in.

The only thing this forum is lacking is more people including the goalkeeper when writing formations.

To push the point, I propose that we re-name the website '1-4-4-2'.

Several things wrong with 442 forum, however-

Annoying adverts, often impeding your entry into the forum.

No facility for viewing your own posts.

Too many cut and paste posts from Joffa- these have the effect of continually driving normal posts from page 1.


I also forget to mention we have very knowledgeable football historians involved on 442 too.

I'm surprised you didn't pick me up on it?:lol:

You don't have to butter me up, or praise my posts, decentric. I'm not one of your school students. Given the length of time I've been involved with the game, I should be praising (or criticising:lol: ) your gallant attmepts to come to grips with the game...

One of the reasons for the unmitigated success of 442 seems to be the current link to 442 articles. Others cut and paste football articles from around the web and there is constant fresh material to discuss.

Another strength is that there are quite a number of posters who have involvement in football as high level club administrators, players, coaches, refs, player agents, etc. This provides insight and knowledge to football issues raised.


I am a high level armchair critic :lol:

16 000 plus members, with about 1000 regulars is a pretty decent achievement over the last eight years.=d>

The mod panel meet regularly and discuss issues to ensure a degree of consistency.

Kevin Airs has a greater forum presence than many admimistators/site managers of other forums.

What do others attribute the success of the 442 juggernaut to?

Look at this suckhole laying the groundwork for a potential audition for a moderator. Don't make me laugh.

Just remember we know what you are, what you truly are Decentric.

Your feeble attempts at reasonableness on here may fool these benighted souls but the core of your inherently insane darkness is something that should not be forgotten nor overlooked.

Least of all by your good self.


Good day to you sir. :d

Well for starters, there is a huge variety of discussion, which most forums just don't have.
Also plenty of guys who post 20 times per day, which keeps the place ticking over.


You've convinced me.:)

I would just like to see more malcontents appreciate what they have on 442.


The alternative is to leave. They tell me Forum Anarchy is looking for new members. They've lost about 80% of their regulars over the last year.

Yeah, I find the malcontent very frustrating too, however, I personally I know a lot of the regulars here, and they're all pretty good guys. A difference of opinion is what this is all about really, so some people need to chill out and learn to enjoy adult discussion and debate.
As for the way it moderated, it's brilliantly done, and you won't find much better from volunteers.


Yes.... volunteers 8-[


Yeah I was just checking the mail when I got a tranquilliser dart to the neck and woke up with with a mod tag.

That and my boxers were on back to front.

You're lucky! I don't think PV4 got his back....
