NSC: better, worse or the same old same old?

[Bozza]

Reading some criticism of NSC on Brightonfans reminded me that I want to take a look at the general health of things this Summer and see what improvements we can make.

So, to kick things off, how is NSC these days? Better than ever, worse than the 'good old days' or just the same.

Please vote and feel free to post any reasoning behind your feeling.

Ta!

In the year and 6 months ive been here its always been the same. Cant really complain.

Too many 'superfans'

 

[graz126]

too many bounce threads. and misleading ones. but to be fair if the club sorted out contracts and things we wanted to know, then there would be more to talk about.

It always stays about the same. Old regulars disappear; new ones emerge. Annoying tits come on to wind everyone up for a while (remember Dave the Eeeeeeeaaagle?), then they get bored and go elsewhere.

Summer is generally a flat period when there are no league games to discuss/slate/get worked up about, and people start posting any old shit to pass the time. Always has been like that, long may it stay like that.

I like the fact that while NSP attracts the kids who like to think they're controversial, and brightonfans atttracts the sensible folk who are upset by kids who like to think they're controversial, NSC is a place for both, and also for everyone in between. As such a melting pot, it's no surprise that one or two people get wound up and flounce about on occasion.

Those people should be encouraged to use the "Ignore" function more if someone annoys them that much.

It'll never be the same as it once was but too many people want it to be a club love in, where no questions are allowed to be asked or you can't vent your spleen about the club or a player in the way you would when talking amongst your mates. It doesn't matter if your wrong, right or kinky, it is possible to discuss differences without resorting to calling people a c**t and telling them to feck off and support Chelsea.

I agree about there being too many superfans who can't do anything without letting everyone know they've done it and that somehow their opinion should be valued higher than anyone elses.

Brightonfans looks like turning into another always skint to me where everyone has a lovely time agreeing with each other.

People also seem to forget that they don't have to open every thread or carry on reading if they don't like a topic.


I love you just the way you arrrrrrreeeee

f***'s sake, Bozza. We get this EVERY summer. There's very little football to talk about so everyone starts bickering. Fair enough, some people deliberately set out to wind others up but if the same old faces didn't take the bait then the perpetraitors would soon get bored and stop.

The sheer number of users means there's always going to be conflict. On NSP we all like to say c*nt and find it hilarious, and on Brightonfans they all like to talk about how much they love the Albion. On each site there's a huge amount of dick sucking. The beauty of NSC IS the wide spectrum of contributor, (even if some of them are complete retards).

NSC is FINE, leave it as it is.

 

[Safeway]

Actually, it used to better when Gary ran it because it never used to go down every six months because someone forgot to put 50p in the meter.

 

[B.M.F]

There does seem to be quite a high level of twats coming out of the woodwork at present but guess they will soon get bored and go off to southwick square or somewhere acting all hard.

 

[Exmouth Seagull]

If it aint broke dont fix it.

I dont think its broke.

 

[RM-Taylor]

There's too many members on here, 75% never post anything, maybe a member clean up is needed

 

[goldstone]

It's good.

Frustrating sometimes when a couple of twats start arguing with each other over some mindless drivel, but difficult to prevent that so I say leave it as it is.

 

[scotjem]

A bit like the team. Occasionally Championship standard, occasionally bordering on the Conference, but generally somewhere in the middle.

how on earth is that a problem

 

[dougdeep]

Much the same as ever. Perhaps certain posters should get yellow cards for posting personal attacks and over the top content.

Safeway being all motherly and sensible.

A sure sign this place has gone COMPLETELY to the dogs

I find it laughable people complaining NSC is not 'nice' anymore. It was never THAT nice apart from recently. I blame the meat-ups for the touchy-feeliness. Seem to recall when I first joined in it was a case of dipping your toe in the water and getting your head bitten off. Like walking onto a trading floor. Full of MONSTERS. Maybe it swung too far in the 'nice' direction. and maybe it's now swinging back. Which is nice.

I think with NSC is that the board reflects how the team is doing - when we're doing rubbish everyone fights with eachother, the "superfan" name-calling comes out of the woodwork, whereas when we're doing well the opposite happens.

Obviously we havent done that well this year, so there will be the occassional "retard" as ZTEVEN puts in coming on and slating the team, which brings the board down. With all the confusion going on at the club at the moment, there is going to be a lot of bickering, but what can you do?

I think that about sums it up. Although we do have the odd poster that needs a good hard slap just to keep them in touch.
