I've been looking at our site stats on Google Analytic lately and I have to say, we're doing really good considering .... we got over 200 people on tonight and the average for the last month is well up year on year .....

We're growing even though some people speculated [or rather wanted] our site to fade away .... and this growth spurt we are now experiencing is against the trend in terms of the financial side of our industry ... our UK membership is up along with the rest of Europe.
Our second biggest national demographic [behind us] is the US, hardly surprising if you think about the common language .... but it's more than that.
I think people get worn down with bullsh!t and idiot kids spouting off here, there and everywhere, we do not suffer that crap on here and I have the greatest set of mods I could wish for, they do it because they love our sport and seek no compensation for putting hours of work in, people like Gassy, Mrs Gassy and Lump.

They are our filter, they help keep our site free from scammers and idiots. I'll ban a few people here and there if they start performing but for the most part, our major demographic is young ballers who genuinely care about our sport and behave responsibly. We might not always agree on things but in a sense, that's what makes things fun sometimes but hey ... nobody can be right all time.. come to think of it, I ain't a nobody so it must mean I am right all the time ...woo hoo !!!

PS And a big thanks to Bon as well, he's Mr Admin .. he helps me enormously with the techy side of things and is responsible for a lot of the chnages we have made.

I blame the pies (for me personally getting bigger and bigger and bigger).

I'll second your assertion of the mods making this place so good, they put so much work in and put themselves out to help people so often. I don't think I've ever seen them make a decision in adjudicating between members of the forum that I disagree with.

CF, does that mean you agree with every decision I've made to ban people then?
The reason I ask is, a lot of people criticise me for allegedly banning people who don't agree with my opinion; that's absurd, I just ban people I don't like ... seems fair to me :)

Can't remember any bannings I disagree with Robbo, after all we're in your house so it's your rules.

I know you don't reach straight for the ban button if some one just disagrees with you, every one I've seen has taken the banned member being down right rude before you've banned them.

As mods here we try to present a unified front, but in all fairness some of the mods are so insanely good at what they do. In that sense I would like to make extra mention of Mr and Mrs Gassy. They manage to see things on here and dig up information on evildoers that's insane! They go well above and beyond! And technically Mrs G isn't even a mod, she just logs in under her man's account. Hats off...
