The previous ownership was always a bit of a head scratcher. What interest did they have in owning the site? Why no interaction? Why the sudden close down? Just a weird episode all around. They were a sports betting company using the site for advertising and obviously decided in the end that we weren't making them enough money. It was very frustrating because we couldn't 'do' anything with the site, such as incorporating updates or additional features. But now look at us (thanks to Sam)!!! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure he could be very annoying and a little condescending at tines, but I honestly never thought he was bad enough to be banned. He was a passionate poster who sometimes went a bit OTT, but overall a brought a lot to the forum imho. A little condescending? The bloke was an outright punish at times. It made having any sort of reasonable exchange of dialog feel like having to jump through every hoop and over every hurdle known to mankind. I can appreciate he keep discussion moving but the cost of doing so was high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can all overstep the mark especially in the present Chelsea climate but sometimes it's a case of too much for too long. We only had one Droy here. The other place had over 100. I swear those guys are Droy cultists. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm half-minded to track down Droy or Cam4Blue and bring you all down to earth again. Nice bit of cynicism and trollishness about where to stand, deep-dug statistics and player assassination from their performance in an under-10s match at junior school (kidding, Jane/Michael, OK?). Not sure why but this also made me think of James Prescott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Moon Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 A month ago, I was seriously peeved we’d lost the annals for all time, but when names like Prescott, Droy and Cam4Blue raise their heads, maybe it was a blessing in disguise. Some things live on best as treasured memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James P is off doing others things; Cam4Blue was (and is) banned, although it's possible that he's back under another name, I suppose; DWMH has just disappeared! He did get a ban at the other place, but he was also reinstated when the ban ended. I've actually tried to find Droy, but to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I remember James Prescott being rabidly obsessed with us bringing in “young, hungry players” to the point where it seemed he would have a meltdown. Probably best for him that he disappeared from the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to somehow wind himself up into a frenzy over rumours he'd started himself 🤷🏻♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocked and unblocked him so many times. Only person I ever blocked on here since 2008. I always wanted to believe that he could be reasonable but every single time he crossed the line. His purpose in life was to cause conflict and he ended up with a very select group of supporters. When he had a strong case he argued the point. The other 75% of the time he challenged the poster whilst ironically rolling out the "ad hominem" card. It was exhausting. Would I have him back? 100% Would I block him within a week? 100% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
