The knowledge has been banned several times and still gets edited quite often but a bit like JC he comes up with salient points but for some reason cannot type a complete sentence without a swear word or abuse, sad really. He'll go over the top and get banned again I'm sure but his love of all things EDO really shines throughWCDPA wrote:Agree Nikki but is the Knowledges posting style different to IFM's !!

In honesty we should have done something sooner but too much benefit of the doubt given to him for past glories so to speak.
Onwards and upwards
I try to give a balanced view of BDO darts with all its faults .

Now IFM isn't here to report posts, without The Knowledge around, there would be nothing to moderate.

As Much as agree that he goes a bit ott at times there isnt really any rules hes breaking by slating the BDO every post.WCDPA wrote:Agree Nikki but is the Knowledges posting style different to IFM's !!

As for the state of the forum, its actually been enjoyable for the last week or so.
Cant speak for anyone else but IFM had drained any interest that I had in this forum out of me, cant say I'm disappointed that he has decided to stop posting.
Hopefully a few others come back now. Forums are pretty much dead on the internet, Reddit and Facebook groups are to thank for that, but I still prefer forums for small communities like darts.

Agree that we have a great forum, but I can understand why some of our readers are reticent to become regular posters.BlueSpark wrote:The forum is great, always will be posters that just read. Never understood why tbh, but here you are.

I guess it can seem that seasoned posters are quick to criticise and even ridicule posts made on the forum.
All, I would say, is don't be put off. Many of our most prolific posters have been previous lurkers, so the best advice I can give is just go for it, don't let your first negative response put you off.
Oh and Ginge, leave the new posters the fuck alone.

Really bizarre, it's obvious what you'd do if he died - you'd take your foot off his headBlueSpark wrote:The obsession continues.oche balboa wrote:Bluespark went on a bender when he heard about IFM

IFM posts of "how was work"
"the mods have a vendetta against me.."
Anti bdo brigade,... bdo hatred,.....anti bdo bias...etc
and his name calling towards anyone that dared offer an opinion on anything has not been missed.

Much better without the ifm of the last 12-18 months. I still check in several times a day, it is the place I use for my darts news.
Always quieter this time of year until Matchplay starts then it slowly picks up again for the rest of the year.
Seems many "darts fans" have lost interest in the PL. It is now just a huge exhibition, when it started with the smaller venues the crowd were better, what worries me is that in the last 5-10 years the PL spectators have have started attending the majors. Only Blackpool seems to have largely escaped the influx.

Haven't watched a minute of it. Only know the results from the prediction comp.
Re: This forum - your opinion please, especially those that don’t usually post!!
Because seasoned poster just ridicule new posters who try to make valid points, its like they are scared of new people, so they scare them away by trying to make fun of them. I would love to have a bit banter and chat on here but the same few people always have to come up with silly responses, and at the end of the day who needs to put up with that eh. Plus has MVG won this yet isn't funny anymore
