Is WATRB really a lowbrow forum?

[Marshy]

From what I can see here, this forum definitely has many The Sun reader types. Many posts seem to be reactionary, and the fans seem your "ENGEEEEERLAND" type who just get p*ssed and miss half the match.

But it does seem to be a community atmosphere, which is good.

I didn't know there was rivalry between different forums, that's a bit childish IMHO.

Well DSQPR started all this, so I await his response to this thread in earnest!

I would say that's from a very small minority of posters, and certainly not from those that run the forums.

I think it's more a case of people just getting used to one particular site then sticking with it.

I post on here cos the other QPR forums are either pretty dead or boring as fuk

Yes, I think once you start posting in one place you just get used to it there.

Not a criticism, just an observation, but sometimes it seems that some posters try to talk like they're pundits on sky sports. The overuse of the word 'quality' shows a lack of vocabulary, or an attempt to sound 'with it', as is the phrase 'number ten role' trying to sound like Jamie Redknapp, who uses it a lot.

You also see people who, instead of saying 'you're right', like to say 'you're bang right'. Either you're right or wrong. No need for 'bang'. The same with 'top top player'. Do we say top of the league, or top top of the league?

There's also a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. Yes, there are people who are dyslexic, but there's stacks of it going on. It is not difficult to see why some people may think this site is full of illiterates.

Like I said, not a criticism, just an observation.

I like that there are less pedants on here than on other sites.

I like this forum and don't really get involved in the others although I post randomly. Feel some of the other forums take themselves a little bit too seriously but there is a place for them all.

Is WATRB the bottom feeder of QPR messageboards I would say not we just have our own niche and discus things that perhaps get ignored on other sites

You cant beat a good old thread which starts with moaning about another poor performance which then turns into a massive row and brawl between posters before finishing with a conversation about b oobs it happens time and time again some proper good characters on this forum and some sadly missed

I like that you spelt it right. Could have had all sorts of trouble.

I've yet to see the word 'of' grammatically more abused on any QPR site other than this.

So, you are not aware of the fact that "top top player" etc. are qoutes from Harry Redknapp´s press conferences??

He did spell it wrong, he meant peasants

[easthertsr]

what i love about this site is its non clique pythonesque risque attitude.....the other sites are like the local boating or tennis clubs.......full of self centered dullards n guardian readers!

Facto, Facto, chill out, I am a Guardian reader! What I love about this site is it's relentless love-in with Farage and anyone who thinks that all Muslims are terrorists! And how our country has gone to the dogs and how all those who start a sentence with I'm not a racist BUT, keep posting! look we all disagree politically but our love of the Hoops unites us! PS the Pythons would not have agreed with one thing you vote for!

[Stanley]

It is a great site full of a mixture of funny, silly, insane, thoughtful, articulate, knowledgeable, passionate, heart on sleeve types, concerned, loyal, absurd and most of all followers of the mighty QPR

here here.....it really is like a cyber box of chocolates here!

Indeed. We're the smorgasbord of messageboards!

Could you be more specific?
