This forum (or ANY forum for that matter) will never be like the ‘good old days’ (when we first started TSOD, after the abrupt demise of The Stars of Darts)
Social Media is now the ‘go to’ medium for instant results, gossip and information – this wasn’t the case back in the supposed ‘good old days’.
Forums still have a place (clearly, as you are reading this) but they aren’t the places they once were.

I come here despite that, because there are people who post interesting and useful information.
It might help if the default configuration for lurkers was _not_ to display signatures, which would make things more readable and cut down on some of the persistent childishness.Ian was right in his original assumption. Maybe mortally wounded would be a better description at present........

Re: The death of a forum
Where did my forum of choice doublefinish go? I tried to find it but just got a forum full of idiots giving out bad gambling tips.
It's a complete violation of Sharky's legacy.

Some things never change, do they?ifm wrote: ↑Sat Apr 28, 2018 12:33 am OK, we have all watched this place descend from a balanced, interesting, topical forum which actually included as posters many of the best darters in the world to a bdo hatchet job, that's fine btw, if that is what is required to keep this place afloat then ok i will live with that (providing i can offer some recourse which is getting harder as the mods become more anti bdo).
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.
Re: The death of a forum
I like Ian. He's good company on the occasions I've met him and a hell of a player on his day.
But he really believes this stuff, bless him.

Re: The death of a forum
Always liked Ian but he's like someone else we know in that once they've had a good drink they get a bit emotional and lose all self control in their posts, now who was the other guy, its on the tip of my tongue, David something.
