Tober... Do you know why they dont just make it so that you cannot open an account until you have deposited a minimum amount and/or made a few minimum bets? They seemed to change the rules to allow anyone to make multiple accounts, and went from that situation to just stopping all new accounts. Still reckon the forum will still be here in 12 months.

I think though many of their blatant nonsense threads were deleted and do not contribute to the count. Though it is still striking how many surviving threads were started by 'Metal Mickey'

No Rob . Yes i recall when you had to have placed a bet on an account linked to the forum name to be able to post .So people had to have a new bank card to get another account.
I imagine it would be fairly easy to set it like that again so the fact that they dont suggests they are just letting it run down |
|
By:
If they wanted rid of the forum surely they could have just done it in, say 6 months. Just give a warning and say this is the end date, and that is it.

As I said...You know who you are!
 Must admit I hadn't noticed that Kenny. I suppose we can put it waffling at your age.  |

It's 17 posts a day over 3.5 years maydam, plus the previous 8 years before that.

Right, I'm having a break.

I expect when the forum closes it will just disappear .
There wouldn't be a warning as that would the cue for all sorts of threads slagging of betfair |
|
By:
I'll still pop in from time to time.
|

By:
Well why havent they already done it? I know the cricket forum(and the barmy army forum) have largely migrated to twitter, at least for in running stuff. I dont do twitter, tried but couldnt work it.

Good man poker, I would defo have put you (and tober) on the "will" side.

As long as the demand for billiard and pacman related threads remains high, I'll be here.

i'll tell you what's ironic, and plain strange
there was a poster on the football forum called milan12milan he went to the great effort of creating a forum replicating this one - and a decent effort it was too, created on the premise this forum is winding down and will close, given registrations have been closed for 12 months solid without any foreseeable reopening and the numbers here are getting fewer and fewer - he had a good point he was banned for posting the link. figure that out. |

By:
what was the link?

By:
I bet erse wont be here in 12 months' time.

PM the link for your own good ayersrock, no way the betfair IT boffins will be able to track that.

not surprised he got a ban. trademark in the domain name. silly choice, as betfair could easily seize control of the domain.
|
|
By:
it redirects to a different domain now though, which is good.
i wonder if there's room for an erse on that forum, with a seemingly enigmatic penchant for fart threads. the customer base is getting a little thin here.......... |

"does dying count as not being here"?
"no that excuses you". Only if you give reasonable notice and post a copy of the death certificate! |
|
By:
I definitely need taking off that 'won't be' list.
I'll be here to the bitter end until the forum becomes a burnt out lifeless cinder. |
|
By:
You'll be the only ember of the forum left.

Or 2009 rolls around, whichever's sooner.

My current ambition is to find myself on one of these lists, that way I'll be somebody!

Which reminds me, has anyone got the 2014 dead-pool list drawn up?

Where did you suddenly appear from, I don't recall you being on here before. Did you migrate here from Poker/Footie/Horse racing/General betting? |
|
By:
I appeared from outer space!
I've been reading stuff on these forums since I joined, but I only started posting a few months ago. Firstly it was on General Betting, then on here. I tend to do things in extremes. It won't be long before I get into something else and you won't see me any more. (I only started using smileys a few days ago and now I can't stop!) |

Obviously, the lack of new registrations will lead to the eventual death of the forum, and people do keep leaving/being banned.
However, I really haven't noticed much of a percentage change in the numbers of people viewing the forum, as given on the main Chit Chat page. I hypothesise that there is a higher proportion of passive viewers than is generally believed. I read Chit Chat for a while before posting. I often read comments on YouTube but never post anything there. |

I was here from day 1 and posted on the first ever thread so no doubt I'll be here when they finally turn the lights out, which will be a sad day and hopefully not something that will happen in the immediate future.
One of the most popular threads back then was "In what order would you do The Nolan Sisters?" Quick as a flash I said Coleen but I obviously had no idea she would end up weighing more than me, I just liked her big boobs at the time  |
