Me? I like a forum that is a bit quiet at times, you get an oppurtunity to get your points across without you views getting lost in a sea of ego's and spam posts.
rafa's departure and hodgson's appointment was the worst thing that ever happened to this place. never has any decision split the fanbase to such an extent. we may aswell have changed the name of the liverpool part of the forum to rafa/hodgson discussion for the best part of a year as that's all that was discussed on here.
a lot of the regular posters weren't banned but left of their own accord as a result. people moaned about the forum going down the pan but made no attempt to make it better by starting any interesting discussion. they were more bothered about why their mates were banned, carded etc and spent more time just dragging the place down further by throwing insults around and having a go at the mods. at one point i was getting 20-30 complaints by pm per day.
