Separate rumour page so that the main forum is not inundated with made up crap. Also separate section for matchday threads for games not involving BHA. Bans for anyone posting a thread about a rumour on the wrong thread!
SPLIT
Too many stupid threads, not about football or the Albion
Suppose the chattering classes would like to leave it as it is....you are just driving real footie talking fans away.
Am I wrong? Don't think so. Other club forums split their content.
Totally cringeworthy especially if you are from another club having a peep!

NSC is self regulating, when there is Albion news to discuss, it is at the top of the main board, and when football is secondary, then such non-Albion topics are discussed. Some of the greatest threads are non-Albion in nature, and if they were effectively moved to 'the other stuff' area then the level of contributions would be drastically reduced.
I have had tears of laughter reading some of the posts/retorts from chucklemeisters such as Easy and Edna, and it would be a shame if such talent was wasted.
I say split it up a bit between football and other off topic stuff.
Part of the reason I don't post on here that reqularly is because of all the crap you have to wade through to find some decent opinions on an Albion related subject - it would be much easier to find football based threads. The other part of that reason that I don't come on here that much is that I post on another forum (not football related) much more regularly than I do on here and even though it has fewer contributors / users than NSC, having it split up between the technical information and the off topic stuff means that it is MUCH more navigable.
The fact is, when footballing/Albion stuff is afoot, NSC quickly reflects this, with mighty relevant threads relegating the bizarre and quirky workings of the NSC consciousness out of the way.
It happens organically, and it also means that while footballing/Albion stuff is not afoot, we can share arse wiping techniques and idly speculate about Boris's Johnson.
