Hah, I think we both produced screenshots of the same list of blocked posts.

I've made liberal use of the block/ignore function on PR in the last few years. Definitely helps.

Lol I know you get triggered easily, but if it makes you feel better I have been banned from PR for no reason for 2 months.

Oh no - you mean until after the election? I fear that Harvey and Harveys will provide cover

The humorous bit is I wouldn't vote for either the Nats or Labour atm any way.

Pretty funny people turning to banning for no reason though.

Yeah that's the forum that the CP crowd have gone over to.

Which crowd ? And which forum ? I can’t seem to find a link there, I did have one years ago but was on old work account and I only really went on during world cups. Was just too lefty Chavvy sexist and racist, even for me !

Keith, Muttonbird, Derwyn et al have joined the F365 forum, they set up a rugby sub forum. It's about what you'd expect, and your summary of the soccer crowd is sadly not far from what I found over there. See for yourself:

Ah ok - might have a peruse some time, a couple of pals of mine are on there I think. Glad you and I had same opinion of the clientele there, I mean just how fucking bad must it be if even I think ‘god that’s a bit sexist / racist / anything ist’

Just different yardsticks and sensibilities , there id be in the ‘grrr all you Tory posh rugger twats are egg chasers who play soggy biscuit every day” bracket, here .. well, am just yeeb really.

It’s a shame because some of the football stuff and the funny pictures things there were immense like ‘where’s Carlos valderamma’

I tried that F365 thingy but it's not for me. I'm still posting on PR occasionally but this is my new home now. It's got a very cosy feel ☺

Was looking at the 365 one earlier

It is basically as boring as bat shit

I just post my "barely thoughts", and brain shit all over the place.

Here, Twitter, Facebook, Gwlad, YouTube.

You're welcome world.

Has PR gone again? It won’t open from me.

It works here. Now you owe me a pint and a wash for going over there to check for you.

I had a look. There’s a banner saying they are experiencing some technical difficulties due to an upgrade. Fixing it but in the meanwhile some users can’t log in.

No chance. It was never very clear how he convinced even a chicken-sh*t media outlet like PR that he was a journo but he's pretty much bomb proof there.

Were you not good mates once ?
Or was that Jmk ?

He was good mates with Softie but then something went wrong, so he threw a hissy fit and banned Softie.

The only other hissy fits I recall were Sara Jane & fatcat, exiled nzer and softie, and all of the ones the laydeez used to have amongst themselves.

The Boreds are spilt along Geography lines: Irish, Aussies and French over there. Kiwis, Saffers, Welsh, Scots and Nieg over here.
Poms tend to use both.

And onto the proven liars list goes Dark. He will say "atm" but his posts suggest that his blood runs blue and his lies run true.

So pleased for you. Manna from heaven.

Just wondering, why is anyone worried about PR? And isn't this really very similar? I mean seems at times there same abuse by some posters if you don't agree with their posts completely etc etc. We should have threads where you can do that and better still threads where everyone is encouraged to have opinions of there own and we all except it and discuss what we see as differance etc.

There is a bit of a regional split between here and PR. I was most recently interested in PR to see the Australian perspective of Bledisloe 1.

Please don't quote Dark/Ramble, I have him on ignore at both forums. Not that I visit PR much these days to bother me there. TIA.

Just had a squiz at Ye Olde Bored and it's an abomination - intrusive banner ads every-fucking-where, and if you activate Ad Block Plus the Rugby Forum becomes inaccessible. What a joke.

Quentin(agini) dying was the last Horcrux for that Bored..#RIP Bored that shall not be named.

I noticed that this morning. The ads weren’t there yesterday. Pretty much destroys the experience.

Noticed it on iPad last night
Fine on PC though!!

It works fine on mobile using Opera with the inbuilt ad blocker turned on

It's hardly worth a visit though and I feel dirty just for taking a look

Awful ads.
It looks so cheap.

Had been fine with my old browser and adblock but I guess they changed something in the scripts to get around it.

Seems ok in Firefox though.

A lot of sites are now using scripts to force you to disable ad blockers before they let you in.

Next step in the ongoing war to keep clutter off web pages is anti-anti ad blocker util!

News sites are a nightmare for that

Main advantage of the old PR is the greater traffic and chat to keep topics developing. That is rather offset by the extremely tedious, circular feuds between certain posters which infect every thread any of those posters take part in. All posters involved should just set up a dedicated thread to pell mell each other to their hearts' content; they do not contribute fun "bantz".

Long may those feuds stay away from here, though I've noted a few germs starting.
