i had a thanksgiving in china (with mostly yanks) and we all held hands and gave thanks one by one to various people, objects and establishments. i gave thanks to tff and everyone looked at me strange. this was even after my unjust banning. that kind of forgiveness would lend itself well to a mod position

It's been bizarre today, watching people - some friends, some acquaintances, a few complete bellends - drift in to this forum.

It's like some kind of disaster zone or at the RAF airfield in the war, where you wait anxiously on news of those who 'made it'. With every familiar name appearing, a cheer goes up and there's a round of slightly un-British hugging with a furtive look round to make sure your mates don't catch you being a bit dodgy.

Glad when it's all over and we can get back to the banter and just fucking with each others' heads again.

I was also given absolutely no explanation for my banning.

Macclesfield Town/Manchester City. It's complicated.
So, essentially, dummies were spat? Any chance of someone getting the old url and sticking up a holding page pointing here?

Lol @ the TFF admins and mods who were resolutely united against any dissent, deleting critical posts, banning members without explanation, and insisting on nothing but RESPECT and GRATITUDE, under punishment of exile... and now it's like "what, the old regime has crumbled? Well, to tell you the truth, I was against it all along. Tried to argue your case. Was only obeying orders... those bastards *clenches fists*. Anyway, we cool?"

I think we need a TFF Truth and Reconciliation Commission. I understand the Archbishop of Canterbury is free and would be happy to sit down in a big circle with all the TFF mods, admins, owners and those who were, at some stage, banned for being too disrespectful, too c**tish or just downright rude.
Everyone would hold hands and hum and shit, and then ring bells and then everyone sings peace anthems and Gregorian chants. Then the Arch will lead a pub crawl.

But, on the other hand, we're mostly English blokes and we don't really do holding hands or humming. Not even with a man in a purple frock.

I can't help but feel that the person to blame the most at the bottom of all of this is James.

We don't need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We need Nurenburg Trials and those responsible to be lined up against the wall.
LF looks a bit like Goering, and Rich like Goebbels, both of whom evaded justice by committing suicide.

Now, if they've any sense of history...

It does feel like we could have some kind of sit down interview feature type thing with people like Smat, LF, Pagnell and others to get some insight into the goings on. See if anybody has any regrets or whatever. I can just picture LF sat there now saying "I didn't screw Smat... Smat screwed Smat".

Oaf used to torture us and lock us in dark rooms with no clean air supply.

His carefree nice guy persona is just a front :(

'Wall
We're doomed to go round in circles, but to address something that hasn't been discussed yet: how was the most recent 'disrespect' different from the garden variety disrespect that comes with the job? I had seen much worse directed at admin in those preceding years. Tom was no stranger to the other side of that coin, either, and has engaged in some pretty off-colour wind-ups and attacks himself over the course of TFF's history. It was part and parcel of the forum when I joined up. But then it was OK to torture members, as you and others did to me, Max and Renegade, and attack other forums in the name of 'good fun', back in the early days. You could take it just as well as you could dish it out back then. Maybe it stopped being as much fun once the good ol' boys had departed?

Edit: then again, those moral double standards are nothing new. I can remember on one occasion you having to talk Tom down from banning me and a few others for a (fucking hilarious) prank we pulled on Denilson when I was 17.

Christ knows how the mods on HOF cope with it all. The cocks on TFF are like school children compared to some of the lunatics on there (and don't get me started on MISA)

I was a member of TFF for 6 years, I don't know who Tom is. :whistle:

Must admit I haven't a fucking clue who any of them are. They were obviously very important people and deserved a shitload of respect and a very considerable quantity of Cap-Doffing and Bowing Down Low.

Like the queen. Only bigger tiaras.

I completely forgot about that!

I can also say LF is a harmless fluffy bunny... He did once give me his sarnies :cool:
