We got a draft page, the DTM page so can we get a rumours one?

I'm sick of all the posting of every dodgy rumour on the main GD board.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I had thought about a suggestion like this as well, maybe even a General Whinge board too... There are some old boards that are no longer used, that could be converted, and the previous threads maybe put into what can be called a Nick's Archive.

Couldnt agree more.
A thread will have the heading "Cloke to stay" and then in the thread it will say "I read on twitter that someone heard on radio that clokes uncle just bought a farm and that means Cloke will stay"

Absolute time wasters

New Sub Forum for these dribblers would be great

There would be nothing left in GD besides Donny's game day threads

Not that there's anything wrong with that

I was under the impression the whole site has always been a rumour....

Just making a suggestion to improve the site

What harm is it going to do to have a separate board for rumours etc?, sure the general discussion board might lose some activity but at least people dont have to spend time sifting through the forum to sort out the real topics from the rumours

What harm would it do to keep your old username?

wtf?

So new people are not allowed to join this forum? just old users that want a new user name?

Rather sad when someone like myself makes an observation (I have been a ghost on the forum for a while), tries to provide constructive feedback for the improvement of the forums (which others have agreed with) and gets a backhander from and accused by a fellow collingwood supporter.

All I see is a guy who joined up 2 days ago and providing feedback like he's been here a year. Why did it take you so long to join up and start posting?

And you seem a little precious for a guy who's happy to call other posters "dribblers". If I was new somewhere the last thing I'd be doing is insulting the locals, but maybe that's just me...

Welcome aboard.

I was going to join up a year or so ago but then went to register and saw you had to request permission so I thought it was a closed forum. Then never got around to joining so became a ghost. Should have requested to become a member way back but anyways.

Every forum has its dribblers and shock jocks, I am just trying to avoid them

Anyway..... Do you believe there should be a separate forum for the rumours etc

Not necessarily. Half the reason I come here is to read the gossip. Saves me having to go to Big Footy or other sites.

Plus amongst all the red herrings you'll find the occasional nugget.

We've already got a draft and trade section - that's where most of the rumors go anyway.

that's already there, it's called "general Discussion"
