Those that complain about posts to garner hits.

How do you think this FREE website is paid for? Bandwith and all the components required to run a forum costs money. We all use and enjoy this forum so even if you have the misfortune to mis understand an ambiguous post headline the worst that happens is it takes no more than 3 seconds to click back to general chat. I would suggest if that's the worst thing to happen to you in a day then you have had a decent day.

Moaning about something that is provided for free with a lot of people's hard work is quite ridiculous really.

A valid point, but for the benefit of some readers, you might consider restricting the content of your post to words containing no more than one syllable.... :thumbup:

Cheers

Thanks Neil and as usual you say it as it is, for or against me :thumbright:
The forums engine is massive,so that it can never crash, it does cost a lot of money to run it.
Nbody forces anyone to come on here.
Yes there has been a lot of other clubs posts on here,a couple of misleading posts,which will stop,not just mine by the way.
As to other clubs,this is a football forum and all football news is interesting as far as I am concerned :thumbright:
There has been nothing to talk about regarding City as we have bid for NO one so far and are trying to sell first.

The forum costs nobody a penny as you say and we try to keep it updated 24/7 :thumbright: :thumbright:

Ok I'll try.

Forum free. Don't moan.

Do you gain much from them?. I guess you get something for the clicks, with the adverts on here.

But I think it may do more damage in the long run. Like I am suspect of all stickies now. There's click bait then there's is clickbait. Like that welsh assistant manager one was OTT to the extreme :lol:

You pretty much completely dominate Google for terms related to cardiff and forums, so you will always get hits.

But as you say it is free. And we are all more up to date for it. When my father finds out news on cardiff I always end up saying "Yes I knew about a week ago".

We need to take the positives of this board which is up to date news and a pretty good place to debate.

Together. Stronger.

although it costs a lot to run. does this forum/site actually make money ? not a dig at Annis or anyone at all. just something iv never really known a lot about. guessing when u mean hits its the amount someone looks at a post and then u can charge companies for the advertisement per hit is it ? if so do mods get paid as they seem to put a lot of work in aswell ir are they just voluntary ?

Re: Those that complain about posts to garner hits.

Wed Jun 17, 2015 1:51 pm

oh and Annis. theres been 6 days of rain in Majorca. finally a day with no rain today. seems u left it at right time :ayatollah:

Re: Those that complain about posts to garner hits.

Wed Jun 17, 2015 1:59 pm

this site would make plenty, ive heard rumours :D plus its a great place to gather business for carls buses.

Not that i have a problem with either, or a problem with posts about other clubs (though quite why we would discuss who scunthorpe have signed is beyond me)

but "chairman to spend big" (man citys)
or "season ticket sales so far" (Bradford)

and many other examples of basically tricking people into reading the site. Of course, annis can do as he pleases.... but its not cool :mrgreen:

The first 2 years this forum lost money,the engine is massive.

I love football and the banter,plus Ive made many friends through it :thumbright: :thumbright: A couple of idiots along the way,but theyve never introduced themselves :lol:

If any City fan makes money out of this Forum then good luck to them. Apart from being informative I think it's pretty entertaining. And it's free.

Just clicking on the forum makes virtually zero,the adverts pay for the engine , We could have 20,000 viewers and the site would still run smoothly :thumbright:

By the way your rumours are wrong and i person who spread them,who spread them without even a fact or any evidence.

As to Bradford City season ticket sales,I thought it was a great topic :thumbright:

Paul, the viewing figures are there,fans not just want to talk about Cardiff City,but fans like to hear whats going on.
For 5 years and 7 months this forum has been going and viewing wise,its gone higher and higher.

We got rid of the idiots,who still by the way continually try to get on here and a couple have,but if there only intentions are to slag other posters of,they are not welcome,as for me this forum is about having good football debates,without being keyboard warriors and to me cowards are not welcome :thumbright: :thumbright:

If anyone happens to make any money, good luck to them.
Nobody is forced to come on here.

I guess that if it was all about hits then people like Roathie would not be banned as he created massive response with his comments.
