Kill-Joy Mods and the Carlton Train Wreck.

Come on Mods, this newish idea of moving anything not Collingwood related to 'down the list' areas where nobody can find them is not user-friendly. We all went looking for the Carlton threads last night and this morning and had to search high and low for them. Why? General Discussion should mean discussion of anything Collingwood and anything guaranteed to interest, amuse or entertain Collingwood people. When Carlton is on its knees, with talk of its President and CEO getting shafted, we want this news front and centre so we can all enjoy it.

Come on you kill-joy mods, rethink this retrograde decision.

I went straight to the other AFL forum and was disappointed to see GD polluted with Carlton crap.

I disagree 1061; if it were Carlton spin or anything remotely positive about Carlton then yes, send it south, but when it's talk of Carlton crisis or demise then no, keep it front and centre please. When Carlton is in self-destruct mode, it is immensely satisfying to those of us with very long memories.

I agree,it should all be amalgamated on the great big, "Laugh at Carlton" thread, which should in turn, be made a Sticky for us to enjoy for years, decades to come !! LOL

As a member on here since 1999 I could count on one hand the amount of times I've been into any of the other areas. If it's the hot topic and everyone wants to talk about (and let's face it why wouldn't we) it then it should be on the front page. Spot on Neil.

The laugh at Carlton thread should be front-and-centre on the GENERAL DISCUSSION forum, like it always was.

Go the Pies

Dunno how many pages our 'sack bucks' thread is up to but over at 'talking carlton' the 'sack Malthouse' thread is up to 66 pages!

I sense a milestone coming on. Maybe it'll coincide with our game with the scum and we can make them a special banner

The banner is no longer made by "us", we buy it of a Company.

Malthouse should receive one of Tony Abbott's new Knighthood's for going to a club that is rotten from the core. Malthouse took a pay cut to go the Blues and now look. The players are not listening to him and he can't implement his game plan. Alas the failure is bigger than one man. I reckon he should go and coach the Footscray Muts and build a side from the bottom up with a supportive culture. Footscray are a noble and decent club looking for a new coach with Mick's premiership record of success. There is no job at Collingwood because we are the real deal with a great young coach with a vision for success. Carlton deserve to be wooden spooners and rot like that foul dwarf.

It's only right to laugh at the less fortunate, (in this case Carlton) that's what they are put on this earth for.

Watching the cyclical and regular imploding of the Carlton Football Club is one of the pure joys of being a Collingwood supporter.

+1 - especially for those of us unfortunate enough to have had to endure 70, 79 & 81.

Long may this continue.

"where nobody can find them" ? The 2 forums are clearly delineated as 'Pies related' and 'Other AFL' and the description of GD explains where to go for other AFL issues.

Are you really saying that an extra mouse click or two is too much for you ?

Neil, there are ways of contacting the Mods' team and it's not by posting in GD. Please read 'The Rules' (atop any Nick's page).

Hey Donny. It's a game enjoy it!

Give the members what they want instead of making nicks a nanny state like everywhere else!

Had to come and find this thread out of curiosity only.

I found this searching for the 'laugh at Carlscum' thread which has been greatly missed from General discussion. The mass of posters seemed to love that thread and to have it missing now of all times is greatly disappointing. I think NA is bang on with his opening comment.
