    Maybe Lancashire Lad can do a Statbank Closethreadometer to measure how many and why threads are closed?

    Its sad that the Old Firm has such a grip on our community.

    I think it is depressing the Elliott thread got highjacked .I opened the discussion on Friday following a Twitter feed to the Mirror article about an ex Charlton player who might come over to be Chairman ,yet the debate moved on to Paul's time at Celtic and alleged remarks he made about racism north of the border. Why ?

    Sorry mate, but this isn't a thread for that - otherwise we'll just go round in circles again.

    i like going round in circles. each circle gets more aggressive and irrational to the point of no one knows what the conversation started over.

    I quite liked the fact it just vanished. Plus I got to be called a wanker.

    Don't want to go round in circles just talk about Charlton on a Charlton forum , I like the fact this community goes into other subjects ,I just wish people would be more respectful to each other .

    It's the anticipation of the closure that I enjoy. Once certain characters turn up, you know it's only a matter of time. Do you think the same thing happens when they turn up at parties?

    I'd agree with this, i had a thread pulled about 15 minutes after i started it in the week but posts abusing each other stick around.

    Can I just add that me being called a wanker has nothing to do with this abusing each other ;0

    I'd rather see posters 'yellow carded' than the threads themselves closed.

    I'll reopen the Elliott one tomorrow once I've taken out the rangers, celtic, racism, abuse etc. Just to subjective and taking it off at a tangent.

    as soon as thatcher is mentioned in any thread it should be closed (even in political threads, over 20 years ago now, getting less and less relevant everyday) since some posters seem to have unquenchable thirst to splash bile all over their computer screens (on both sides, anti and pro) the thread spirals out of control.

    So, yet again thatcher is the reason for all our problems ;)

    Bit disturbing that people would celebrate the death of an old lady...
