Oh and call me a cunt and tell me to fuck off but as a person who was mistreated by Ja in the past I feel you really missed a trick not re branding this place.
The Offhand name is not the strongest out there in light of the arch fantasists/thiefs reputation.
Tbf, it was put to the members to either come up with a new name or keep the old one. Personally I would have prefered to re brand it but the majority of members either weren't arsed or wanted to carry on regardless. It's the members who put the effort into the board that keeps it going, it's run for them now, Ja is history!
I was all for a name change and layout for the forum, too many old fuckers on here that can't deal with change. Probably still using ration books aswell !
Some of the names that were suggested were shit, i didn't bother suggesting one either as it would have been equally shit and Iains probably was as well
And whats wrong with ration books anyway? Nowt wrong with powdered egg, don't know you're born you young'uns.

Can only only remember one "the gentry" which I thought sounded really pretentious. I've tried to block the others out as they were also abysmal, probably
If there was a generic football thread I wouldn't bother looking at it. Individual threads (on anything) suit my mindset better but interesting to hear other's views and opinions. What You Are Wearing and Recent Buys suit generic threads in my mind The other names suggested for the forum following the issues with Ja were khazi (apologies to people who suggested, and I didnt come up with any suggestions so can't complain), but its only a name. To change it could have been seen as trying to re-invent what happened. Fuck it, it happened, it wasn't good but worse things happen in real life all the time
If i'm brutally honest this place is deader than flares in my opinion. Littering the home page with random threads that no one replies to is a no no in my way of thinking. And you can say what you like about WYW etc but the proof is in the pudding.
I wish Tone well and hope to bump into him again, forum admin/generating interest is hard work.
You are all masters of your own destiny and I wish you well.
In defense of this board, its run differently now, its run by the members, its their board. Admin are there merely to tidy up and stop any silly arguments which may occur. Its not a board with ideas of splendor, filled with egos, who love to go onto social media sites and attack other boards to the gratification of their sheep like followers. Its also not a board full of wannabe Daiki Suzuki's who's only outlet and free advertising to boot is on the sites they have made their home. Its a board of like minded individuals who share a passion for clothing and football.
Dan, you really need to make your mind up who you are, Anchor10000 or anchor1000

To be fair, Dan is like the Tim (Nesmit) of the site. Declares he's finished with the forum, disappears for a while. Then returns from nowhere, taking in all the attention that comes with it. Then within a month declares the forum isn't what it used to be, he's done, disappears again. AND REPEAT.
