Jesus your not around that much and the whole place changes.
You'll be surprised to find it hasn't changed much at all Robbo....for example, Sid still reads the Daily Mail, Bri still loves gagging on gonads and Dozer still hates anyone with a foreign temperament....(only one of those is actually factually true).....
Indeed. we all know that Sid reads the Economist and the Telegraph and that dozer just has issues with the French temperamentfat maradona wrote: ↑2 years agoYou'll be surprised to find it hasn't changed much at all Robbo....for example, Sid still reads the Daily Mail, Bri still loves gagging on gonads and Dozer still hates anyone with a foreign temperament....(only one of those is actually factually true).....
Good job that after Rant disapeared the first time that newbies didnt see the posts from before then the good old daysFuck the Glazers wrote: ↑2 years ago Yeah I think we should remove the toxicity from those bad years. One it's off putting to newcomers. Most new members read the forum first (sometimes for years) then post. But having that shite hanging around is off putting.
Also we should keep it in line with twitter, FB, reddit etc who have all had to clean up their act. There are laws against online bullying, pile ons, dogwhistling, threats, harassment and obviously racism & misogyny. I aren't accusing anyone and certainly not avoiding blame myself. But the internet is very much not the wild west anymore. That applies to Rant.
Moreover it's in line with Ed / NQATs values and beliefs. NQAT and the other contributors on the pod, on twitter etc have been strong on Ronaldo, Giggs, racism, misogyny - the lot. This is Eds forum at the end of the day. He pays for it. He's also liable, I think? With this in mind having posts that refer to black people as "black pudding" need to go asap. Back em up if you must but get em off the main view.
I would also get rid of the dead topics. Threads which haven't been posted in for years. We use the forum differently now. We tend to post on matches and transfers. If people want to talk about other stuff eg politics, other sports then we can set up new topics for them as and when.
I would like Rant to be a part of NQAT and hopefully pull some members from there. But also just reflect more accurately what this place is now.
