From Hibs-Mad it’s mostly just AJ and Billy. The rest here are all all SF.net alumni. We were in another SF.net splinter board but the guy who runs it is a madman was got pished or coked up and started banning loads of folk. He had a track record of threatening to kill people also.

So I just set this up quickly as a bolt-hole. 250 posts in the first day and a half is an ok start, and 13 of the finest have come over.

Did you not set-up a board before????

I went on a couple of times for a wee look. I may have posted I can't remember.

Aye, years ago. 2012 I think. It lasted about a year before Proboards binned it due to Tims complaining I wasn’t tough enough in banning buns. It was getting 1000 posts some days and 40k page views. I was too busy to start it again.

Like the old days at Hibs-Mad.

When me and Brian took over, it was me, him and Notorious posting.

At it's height it was mental, we were getting over 100k page views a week from about 1k a week at the start.

Everyday when i come in from work at midday, i'd be scared to go on, id have about 10 complaints, and 4 pages of new threads/posts.

We were turning about 10-15 pages a day. News articles were getting easy 5-10k hits.

Brian must have been getting paid a fortune.

It’s amazing how these things just dwindled. Social media probably. That and bad management.

The old footymad Scotland board is in some state now. It’s just EdScottishFitba posting to himself over and over again. Think there was a mass walk out at his behaviour in 2014!
