Coming back, what's happened here?
No posts in days? Apart from Stanley? Like they gave two hoots...
What has happened?
My last sign I was 08-08-2017, always tried to look but Ilost my memory due to I'll health. Tonight I logged in and read old posts.
Some where ****e, some got folk talking.
Read back and you just wouldn't believe the people who made this when you lost Garinda.
Gordon P, maxthecollie,gdm27, Retlaw, loads of folk who became famous and then mocked.
Less its nothing to do with your clique, that should be removed from your description, you set out to a knob from society. You just did it, everyone had your ****ed up trolling ,was clear to everyone else. I clearly envisaged you harming the forum. I was clearly right...
Ban me, it would be funny. When was there last a moderator on here...when I last logged in? I feel sorry for MargP, Cashy, Taddy and dotti(SHES ACROSS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD) trying to keep this place alive.
And that's a message to anyone reading and lurking. Come back...not you Less. You ruined it

and yet you obviously already know the answer, it's all the fault of just one person, I'm glad you got your memory back even if it is a rather biased memory, I'm surprised you didn't blame me for it's loss in the first place, if there is anything I can do to assist in your continued return to full malice such as throwing myself into a burning pit of stakes or slicing my neck from ear to ear with a rusty razor blade please, just let me know.
Welcome back, it's always good to hear from old members, look after yourself and have many hours of fun now that you have returned.

Re: Coming back, what's happened here?
Yes, Odders, it is a pity that there aren’t the good old debates on this site any more that used to get people expressing their views, agreeing, disagreeing, arguing the point, have to say not always respectful, but definitely interesting. A few controversial subjects would be great and would hopefully stir more people to say their piece. It does come across as a site devoted to dear old Stanley at times but we must keep on keeping on, even though attempts to bring in interesting topics do not always seem to tempt people to have their say. These threads soon go by the wayside, dropped like a lead balloon. Bit frustrating.
I am sorry to hear you have had ill health and hope you have now recovered, but oh! dear me, you have come on a bit strong re Less. As soon as I read your post I knew you would have at least one reply, and that from the man himself. I was right, and as much as I would normally jump in where there is controversy, this time I will keep out of it and leave the pair of you to spar on. Now THAT could be interesting.
By the way, Odders, when born in Lancashire it doesn’t matter where you live in the world you are still a Lancastrian at heart. Well that’s how I feel, and that's why I like to keep in touch.

I'm afraid it won't be too interesting because I shall apply the wisdom as supplied below:-

Re: Coming back, what's happened here?
We always hope that when we post,that it will stimulate some kind of interest.
If it does, then we are pleased…but if it doesn’t then we head back to the drawing board to think of something else.
But, yes it is dispiriting….but it would be even more dispiriting for the forum to fold because of lack of interest.

Re: Coming back, what's happened here?
Well Less, considering it made no difference maybe you should have waited. Nobody bothers anymore here. You use the same old CnP balls. You should have waited, maybe it would have drawn interest to the main forum. Why would I believe you gave me cancer? You can only play God here....
Thanks for the messages Ladies, thanking of my return. Unfortunately it won't be for long. As MargP I have never done social media. I like Accrington and miss it dearly. This was the first place to find out anything.
Nobody's posted in 24hrs, apart from the Stanley faithful. As much as I don't follow football, if anyone asks were I'm from its Accy...and everyone nearly replies "STANLEY, WHO ARE THEY'.
God bless good luck to one of the best local forums ever made. It's impossible now to resurrect, let the Stanley faithful keep you going:

Re: Coming back, what's happened here?
Odders, I said I was going to keep out this but anyone who knows me also knows that I can’t keep my lips zipped, or my fingers off the keyboard, if I have something to say. I have already written that I am indeed sorry to hear about your illness. I hope I am wrong when I interpret your posting as meaning you have not recovered. If this is as is then it is very sad, and I am so sorry that this is so. As I said, I hope I have misinterpreted your post.
However, there are four things that I have to respectfully disagree with you about regarding your comments, please do not take them the wrong way. They are my thoughts. Firstly, I seriously doubt that whether playing at being one or not, Less would ever reach the status of God on this site, secondly no half-decent person would ever wish such a cruel illness on a fellow human being, and he is at least half decent (sorry Less, I couldn’t resist that one, but I’m sure you will take it in good spirit).
The third thing is that people do bother here, they do care – I have had personal experiences of how much they do. Finally, the fourth point is that nothing is impossible, so here’s to plenty more of Accy Web, over and above dear old Stanley.

Re: Coming back, what's happened here?
Something else but along the same lines, there must be lots of Accy Web members who have jokes they could share. I feel a bit embarrassed when I see that for a while, apart from a very few other postings, it looks like I am hogging that section (Joke of the Day). I don’t mean to and I keep thinking I won’t post any more ‘funnies’, but as we can all do with some laughter in our lives I can’t help myself. I just wish others would post there, it’s a bit lonely….

do not think its a lack of interest but more of a case of the vast majority who agree with each other on most subjects that are brought up on here. all you do is ending up underlining someone elses opinions who beat you too it.

hard to do jokes nowadays unless you are face to face with someone you know well. someone is bound to be offended for someone else no matter what you say. back in the good old days people rarely minded fun being taken out of them as they actually knew it was the evidence of their existance.

Yes, to some extent that is right, but…..fir myself I know that I always hope that my posts will stimulate some interest…..and I do not care if that interest is dissimilar to my own…..life is boring when no one has a different opinion/point of view.
Dotti has started threads with the hope that it will encourage participation, because a forum is nothing without participants.
Those who comment on the progress of the illustrious football team…..don’t they have any other interests in the forum.
I do not really like football, but on odd occasions I will visit threads to do with football(not that I am much wiser when I leave).
