Welcome MLB


I think we should present Newell with a special edition ATD Mug for all he has done for the site.

I think a little celebration is in order. Fortescue, Mutley plain 19:00 anyone? 

I would like to know, where have they been all this time? where have they come from and where did they hear about this site.

all is welcome

Of course 28 are mod room multis, 85 lapsed members, 128 have never posted, 52 pasoti poodles, 38 Dane accounts, 22 Paul Thomas accounts, 8 miserable old gits, 14 pasoti admin accounts, 124 regular posters and 1 goat.

Talking of Ponty, his posting history is quite an interesting read.

Just search for Ponty in the memberlist.  

Is this Ponty one of Newell,s goons? has he been on greens on screen?

maybe and maybe...wouldn't call him that to his face though....

So why do they call him Ponty?

Why not?

The whole of the Pasoti mafia always bleat on about REAL people in the REAL world.

I reckon he'd quite like it if someone went up to him in REAL life and called him a goon

Cuz he's from Pontypool I believe.

Which makes me think, did Ponty send any letter of approval for the development?

Not being in Plymouth and all that.....

Jean Luc ponty?

Because it's nicer than cuntchops?

I reckon it's corrupt Mods massaging and inflating the figures to justify their existance just like the Education Secretary with A* passes in every years exams. I see no evidence that there is more than 30 members at best. The rest either don't exist or have died of boredom from some people's postings. That first list contains many of the Most Wanted in the country or in some cases the World. The Authorities may be watching this site so they should keep a low profile for a while or in some cases permanently. Well that's what I think anyway.....

No Corruption here sensible...that dubious honour belongs to Pasoti, the reluctant bidder and his Toadies

You could always put yourself up for election as a mod SG and if the users believe you are worthy you would then be able to tell the world how corrupt ATD is. Apart from that I think you are probably right about the rest of what you say and I think it's even less on pasoti unless it is a match day.

No corruption here, we have no need to manipulate statistics.

I'm not bothered if only 5 people a day post here, the forum is here for people to have their own say without fear of censorship or having their details logged on a Flickr dossier for future reference.

Anybody who runs around boasting about having "a million hits a day" is talking out of their arse anyway.

How many of those are individual, unique hits. Not people returning to read the same thread after someone else has posted....

I have stated before that I have 32 regular competitors for the forecasting league and by no means every active member forecasts. We must have at least 50 regular posters.

Its not the size, its the kwalitee that counts:D 

I no longer think of pasoti as being the big boy these days, it's so sanitized that ATD has even took over the spot for up-to-date topics like the grandstand etc.

Ponty is called thus because he was Pontypoolgreen on the farm. Isn't he Elvis that used to walk in front of the Lyndy on match days about five minutes after kick off?

Imho, I reckon there are literately dozens and dozens of Patwotti users would would love to emigrate to ATD. Newallini and his black shirt's wrath is what keeps them from doing so, imho.

I wonder how many times a day they peek in as guests? and gaze in wonder at the utopian land of free speech and non-sanitisation of opinion?

I wonder how much information that newell had on people that wasn't on his Flkr account.
