150 Members - Well Done

Membership now at 150 (I know that includes some of Newell's lackies). This is good news for Argyle.

I actually see this website as good for South West football in the long run. I know Argyle and City will never see eye to eye and yes you are a bigger club than us, yeah yeah yeah however better relations between both sets of fans and Argyle doing well will inevitably help City.

Relations between Pasoti and Exeweb are at an all time low thanks in the main to continual bannings from the Porkus or whatever name he goes by. A website that acts merely as a nodding dog for the Club owners is no good for anybody. Exeweb was set up as totally Independent to the Club it supports (just like here) and criticism of the Club isn't moderated. OK, the criticism is nowadays uncalled for in the main, but our dark days included Jackson, Geller and 2 crooks who shat on the Club, its supporters and local businesses. Striking similarities with your own Club. Exeweb will continue to be a thorn in the club, but never a death nail.

Brent appears on the face of it a good thing but you need to be very wary, you are not out of the woods yet. Pasoti ( well certain individuals) appear to be putting self interest and self promotion above the long term good of Argyle.

Well done ATD.

Thank you for the kind words. Ourselves and Exeweb appear to be broadly in agreement.

Thanks TRS.

Exeweb does look a very well run website and although there can be some crap posted on it,the banter board does provide a good service for Argyle, Exeter and TQ fans to take the piss out of each other. It doesn't seem to spill onto the main Exeter forum either.

Ali, there is loads of crap but it is an open forum so you have to expect it. It can get a bit tasty at times but football is an emotional game. It is also free of bullying. Well, there has been some in the past but the posters tend to weed them out. You are not expected to give your name, there is no "I know where you live" mentality.

What I find quite heartening is that the City fans on here do not come on with the sole agenda for taking the piss out of your plight. We had waited many years to get our own back and whilst we do like to see you at the bottom of the League we recognise the lonely furrough ATD is currently treading. Pasoti ban all discent and even minor pisstaking from rival fans is not allowed. If you cannot ask difficult questions on a fans website or simply take the piss, something inherently is wrong.

Ha ha ! You boys are very welcome on here but you must find it a bit irritating when you take the piss out of the slime and we don't bite.

We KNOW we're crap !

Normal service will be resumed one day but probably not while the new owner listens to the wrong people

Well 151 now, probably won't post that much and never under my own name. I have joined here just to show that I am free spirit. I had a real old ding dong about the pseudonyms on PASOTI and I think it pretty well sums up what is wrong with Pasoti at the moment. When I told what my problems were with this I got told that I had "issues". TBF there is a lot of good on Pasoti (most of the membership is pretty cool) and I don't think that I need to point out what is wrong with it to anyone on here. There was a huge amount of PM'ing going on when the pseudo thread was going as your link was being deleted and censorship is wrong, what are they afraid of? Anyway thank Mr. Newell as he has done more for the membership numbers of this site than anyone else on here ever could of.

Hi there,

1st time poster here. Not sure if I have posted this in the correct place but here goes,

I only recently became aware of this site ( you'd never guess who alerted me to its existence ) anyway, looks a really good friendly site.

I was only an occasional poster on Pasoti but have become disillusioned with it for a number of reasons,

1) It has become very boring, maybe due to lack of footballing success & the conclusion of the take over

2) The extreme dictatorial bully boy tactics of a certain Mr. Newell

3) The way the site seems to have morphed into a quasi-official cheerleading site for all things PAFC/Brent/Webb

4) The ridiculous cliques of the "in crowd" & " the "I know something you don't know brigade"

There, got that out of my system !

You can call me Altijd Groen (Forever Green in Dutch) although recently I have also been called Vermin & a Troll for not towing the revised party line re: Tony Wrathall

Talking of Mr. Newell, does anyone know how he seemingly controls that site without intervention from other mods ? Have I missed something or does he own the site & is it his full time job ?

He claims he's one of two remaining elected mods out of a group of ten. They pretty much appoint whomsoever they like, it would appear.

Welcome aboard, you should feel at home here as you are in line with mainstream thinking. The Newell question has been done to death, look at the other threads. Frankly we have had enough of it and him. There is no moderation on this site, but we do ask that you comply with the laws of the land regarding race, sex and the like. Also show a bit of commonsense regarding language. Apart from that no problems.

Welcome fellas!

Not to happy with the numbers growing like this, I ran out of 12 fingers and toes ages ago!


And thanks to Red Star, it's just such a pity he's from "up there"!


Unlike some sites, you Exeter fellas are welcome here, just be prepared for the consequences!

Fxxk off gob that ain't going to happen any time soon

You're right, it bloody well is irritating.

I think the link to this site was deleted "for obvious reasons".

Beautifully explained, my sentiments exactly particularly points 2 and 3, and as you say Mr Bombastic has done more for increased membership on here than anyone.

Bloody hell, membership now at 300, 50% increase on December.

The Argyle Spring in full force.

100% increase surely as the numbers have doubled.

And I'm fairly certain we don't do multiple accounts. Possibly the 'odd' Pasoti mod, but that is an OCD for them.

And we don't have thousands of dormant accounts that haven't been used for years. can't believe the increase in numbers on here in a few months. Also the awareness and reading of this site must have gone up hugely in the same time. take a bow Ian Newell ATD's marketing genius.

Surely its got to be worth a gold ATD jannerbanner on his 68 ATD accounts?

Bugger, yes Pete a 100% increase.

Hangs head in shame

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Great that numbers are rising so quickly. Perhaps Boss Hogg should be made honoury President in appreciation of his work to boost ATD membership

Now I like that idea!
