Appreciate what you're saying, but at times last season people were complaining about posts from anonymous posters or people coming on the board to have a pop at Bash (in fact I remember you in particular having a spat with a Gloucester City fan). This makes the board a hell of a lot easier to moderate. It's also a lot easier to prevent people posting under multiple names as happened this season, and the new board will mean we are able to ban users who are out of order (under the present board I can only ban IP addresses, which means that innocent users can also be banned by accident!) On the subject of posters, if it wasn't for the website we wouldn't have any at all, so if you have a better idea for the design and distribution of them, feel free to come up with an alternative. Don't think handing them out at matches would work because people won't carry them around for two hours and keep them in perfect condition!
