[NSC] The Bear Pit

[ManOfSussex]

As there seems to be ongoing discussion and conjecture in regards to NSC's newest feature, I thought why don't we take the pulse of NSC itself to ascertain the true feeling about it all with a poll.

So here's a poll. Vote away.

We don't need it, the footy is back and its dominating discussion again...

 

[Machiavelli]

I voted neutral, because I don't know at the moment.

Be honest mate, you’re missing the Brexit thread dominating the main board [emoji23]

A bit, OK I admit it...

Fair play for being honest [emoji106]

I always liked everything being in one place. Sure, some of the threads descend into circular arguments but then you can avoid them. Then you can dip back in if it looks like something interesting may have happened. There was always the option to bin a thread in the Other Stuff if it was completely out of hand.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Not this again. Can all threads about the bear pit be moved to the bear pit ?
(I haven’t voted).

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

This.

It's a great idea.
All the political type threads and the people that enjoy this sort of thing all in one place.

it's an idiotic, stupid and moronic idea. NSC is of course primarily a football discussion board but for the nearly 20 years it's been around we've discussed everything and everything has been on one single board. I get the 'Other Stuff' board to prevent Google wetting their bed but other than that, until recently, one single board. I'll even begrudgingly accept the Covid sub-forum ( no idea why though ) as it's accessible from the Main Board. I've said many times before that NSC is like a virtual pub - albeit without the drinks ( the Friday night drinkies thread excepted ). You would have to go into a separate room in the pub to discuss a different topic - so why here ?

What next on trying to move non-football threads - lets have a separate forum for all these ridiculous music threads - you know the one's like "Name your favourite band that went on stage in wellies". Or maybe we could have a "Crap non-football Sports Thread" and get rid of the golf, running and NFL threads ?

90% of thread titles make the subject matter obvious and yet you still get the morons posting in them "This isn't about football so why is it here ?" - well don't fvcking click on it and comment in it you moron.

The Bear Pit is a shit idea.

Absolutely wonderful change for NSC.

All the poison quarantined in one area.

The toxin superspreaders can spread it all around amongst themselves.

 

[jakarta]

Really can't be arsed to read this nonsense so parking it in a skip at the far end of the Car Park where I don't have to smell it is fine by me.

 

[Da Man Clay]

One of the joys of NSC was that everything was in one place IMO. It was pretty clear what you were getting form most threads so not sure a separate forum entirely was the answer. Feels NSC has lost something for me. Judging by the poll results i’m evidently in the minority though

 

[Weststander]

The right and left wing obsessives can keep their blinkered and never changing thoughts in one place. If anyone wants to be ‘enlightened’ as to how the country would be so perfect in the hands of hindsight merchants, back seat drivers or 1930’s nationalists, you know exactly where to look.

To run with your analogy - should you and a few other folk, ruin the atmosphere in the pub, by insisting on continually engaging in loud, angry and unpleasant circular arguments, again and again and again, the landlord would understandably tell you to go elsewhere.

 

[Goldstone1976]

I assume that if the vote is 52:48 or wider that’ll be the end of discussion about this topic for all time, because them’s the rules, right?

It’s a super idea

I think things have changed from a few years back. There are posters who register simply to try to impose their left wing/right wing propaganda and who never post anything about the Albion or indeed football. This takes away some of their influence. Personally I think it's good to hear other people's viewpoints but many of these whichever side of the divide, have no intention of listening to anyone else who doesn't agree with their world view, and furthermore I object to being preached at by people who have come to our forum but who have never and have no intention of ever, setting foot in the Amex.
