Posters no longer on the Mix

[WonderWolf]

Not as long as us then

True

The situation is a condition that many choose to let foster/control.....clearly then having some but not growing them is a personal choice with this. ..

 

[Jonzy54]

So there will be some stripping and laying to do then.

And paying

 

[ShropshireLad]

So since when is it that when you get married you move on?

Apparently, since this coronavirus thingy, what with having to stay at home from work, the pubs being shut and the football being off several older chaps have discovered that their wives don’t go out to work any more.

 

[Burton Wolf]

Don’t know, but you could always stick your head in the Posada and ask.

Who do I ask for

 

[Burton Wolf]

If that’s me you are thinking of Jonzy I no longer have any contact with him. Felt very let down and learnt a valuable life lesson.

That's coppers for you.

 

[Flea]

Deutsch Wolf. I know he posts regularly on TWF, but didn't he used to do likewise on here?

He did.
The guy is very knowledgeable,and is good with words.
Unfortunately,the attitude that sometimes came with it wasn´t everyone´s cup of tea.
So to speak.

Did something specific happen ?

Indeed. I have enjoyed a drink with Dan on occasions before a game, and certainly he has great knowledge of football, and Wolves in particular. He has gone through difficult times, but is a good man.

I could tell a few things weren’t adding up and in the end i just gave up

I know.He has been open about his difficulties,and I do hope he feels better nowadays.
I don´t think he was ever the president in the Matt Doherty fanclub though..

 

[Burton Wolf]

Hows @Adrian_Monk doing?

Didn’t Jim get married and just moved on?

To edge?

 

[ricki herberts moustache]

I miss Battleships' sharp wit and scintillating humour

 

[Jonzy54]

I think there were several on here known for being a shining wit or was that a spoonerism ?

 

[derbyrameater]

Finally could have made good use of his expert knowledge of South Korean doctors.

[WickedWolfie]

This is my first post since my last one and you won't see another one of my posts until my next one.

Just to be clear.

What if that's one too many???

 

[USA Wolf]

But what about @USA Wolf? The club had one foot in the grave before he poked his head in

 

[WW1963]

I think the Mix got some bad press a few years back,with new posters getting shouted down and an almost elitist clique of posters that thought they knew it all and no one elses views counted
A lot left back then, some have returned,some not
The Mix is a far more welcoming place now and has been for some time,with good humour replacing enlarged egos for the most part
Yes we still have a few but thats life it wouldnt pay for us all to be the same would it

This is true in my experience and in the shared experiences of many others I have spoken with on alternative forums. I was here under another moniker a handful of years ago and discovered what others had warned me about - a group of elite posters who dominated to such a degree there was a cult-like group think that had to be adhered to. Failure to comply would result in shunning, ridicule, ad hominem accusations (usually you would be labelled a West Brom wum). The temptation would be to either become like the ruling posters or fight back.

One, who thankfully isn't here any longer, would say to anybody who contradicted him: "Mods - ban him! He's a **** fan".

He was even doing that on this newer profile years later, accusing me and others practically every week.

However, match thread aside this place is so much better than it was for me under my old profile and this newer one. With regards to match threads I think that might be the 'tipping point' reason why some longer time posters have gone. But then match threads are happening live and so people aren't having time to control their emotional outbursts - better to stay off them when things aren't going well.

As for new posters, there is far less of the suspicious behaviour towards them and the group think mentality has largely gone with the absence of a small cluster of control freaks. They did more passive aggressive moderating than any moderator has ever done and the place is so much better without them.

Often wondered what happened to Oldwolvesfart and miss the posts of Portugaletc because he offered really interesting insights. I always remember how he was laughed at for saying we would have one of the best midfields in the premiership if we bought Moutinho to go alongside Neves. He was right! And of course the great mystery that was the heron. That was indeed funny.

The two Portuguese posters were good value. Hope that they are ok and reappear (probably with details of our latest great Portuguese signings).

 

[ShropshireLad]

One poster who’s screen name always amused me is Grubbyears doesn’t seem to be around any more.

@portugaletc was a really good guy. We had a few private chats and as you say, he was very informative...and owf was a good chap as well.

 

[Yamalroite]

Remember someone called Del Pablo or something like that?
Left the forum in drama as he tried to 'steal' users using his power as mod as he/she set up the other forum?

hahaha. It was al serious and angry. Could do with some thing like that now....

Del Woppio?

I reffed him a friendly a few years back .Bod played too
He wore a t shirt with the words
Bono is a **** (sounds like fat cat hat) emblazoned on the front .Everyone loved it .
He used to love winding people up as the Fans Parliament Rep.
In those days you could print and be damned without needing the club to vet the minutes first .He used to spend a couple of paragraphs eulogising about which sandwiches he had and in what order before going on to describe the sausage rolls the quiche and whether he had cream or custard on his pudding .

 

[old wittonian]

Del Woppio?

The local policeman in my village in Majorca had this nickname. He hung himslelf.

I agree.
My experience is the same.
This place wasn´t better going fifteen years back.It was worse and things have gotten better for most posters I think.
To each his own,and the so called elit clique was a knowledgeable bunch..but they were also absolutely relentless and rigid regarding the boundaries for what they felt was okay or not.I don´t think they gave it a second thought..but it was school yard bullying on an internet forum.
This place is much better nowadays IMHO.

 

[Flea]

To continue..and finish.
Seeing them strutting off was a sight to behold.
A number of precious minds setting off in the sunset,and the dust left hit no one´s eye.
It was quite pathetic the whole thing.

Often wondered what happened to Oldwolvesfart

he got into a huff over the song association thread.

Glasgow Wolf was a character think he maybe banned though
