But, lets look at the way it has actually gone, the anti BDO brigade have totally taken over, this place is actually now known throughout darts as a place you are more than welcome as long as you abuse the bdo, note i don't say favour the pdc as that is rarely the case.
The only posts on here since 3.43 this afternoon have been to troll the bdo.
Right now we have three active mods, Nik who is so traumatised by a pensioner asking him why he allows abuse towards his wife he has completely distanced himself (run away and hid under a table) from trying to be balanced (he was once honest).
One who is so convinced he actually now has power he does nothing but copy n paste graphs literally nobody is interested in and deletes any kind of reasonable comment on any pdc thread while letting anything go on bdo ones.
One who just sit's on Whinges lap jumping to any command by the master.
The point is, this place has been slowly dying, the players have all left and the genuine intelligent discourse has gone too, this entire forum is now purely a hate platform for those who loath the BDO, no need to take my word for it just look at any thread, they all descend (or begin as) into BDO hatred.
It's sad, RIP.
Actually let me address some of these points for you, albeit obviously a trolling exercise.
So what you are saying is that pointing out that just over 80 ticket sales for a 'major' is quite poor is actually hatred, pointing out spelling mistake and omittences in official literature is hatred, pointing out that jumping into bed with a conman is hatred, questioning why a major has no TV coverage announced is hatred, in fact anything negative is hatred according to you.
Hatred - intense dislike; hate.
synonyms: loathing, hate, detestation, dislike, distaste, abhorrence, abomination
Apart from the odd post from JC or The Knowledge which end up getting edited or deleted I am struggling to see the 'hatred' in what people post here.
This term 'hater' which you and your cronies on BDOF bandy around is the worst type of dumb Americanism used by people who have neither the intelligence to understand the criticism nor the capacity to rectify it or respond so they just type the word 'hater' as a type of rallying call to their fellow cerebrally challenged to join in like sheep and agree with them even though they have no idea what the comment was all about in the first place. If you dismiss everyone who disagrees with you or what you are doing as 'haters' you then feel you have a free pass not to address the points raised in the first place. You have become but a parody of your former self and the exact kind of person whom the BDO board rely upon in order to keep their position. You are the worst type of troll, a troll who doesn't even realise that he is trolling and is himself a big reason why some people do not post as much on here.
I have to ask you, if the BDO and it's tour were that fantastically good then why do you choose to play PDC?
May I respectfully suggest that you stick to BDOF where you, Ross and Egerton can tickle each other's tummies and hit the ban button to get rid of anyone who has the audacity to question the way the BDO board are dragging the organisation further into the ground day by day. As for us on here we will continue to question their actions and results, we will continue to point out how things could be improved and continue to hold the board to account for their failings.
