Kickback is dying a death

This may not be popular with some, but it is incredible to witness 15-20 minutes between new posts tonight*.

 

I think the guys running Kickback now are far more professional than before, no question.

 

Just the interest in Hearts is on the wane. We are all tired, too long with the same crap and nothing much we can do about it.

 

The passion is gone out our club - one day it will be back, just hope I'm not too old to enjoy it.

It is incredible to witness 15-20 minute gaps in between posts at 10.55 pm on a Thursday night?

 

C'mon now, there are more active members on KB than EVER before.

 

I think you just picked the first thing that came to your head and had a wee moan about it!

Which is really surprising given the amount of Hobo wind up merchants who are still active on here, add to that those who are allowed to throw unfounded allegations at others which go completely unpunished....

 

Still I would agree with you, Kickback is dying a death.

maybe because there isnt any new rumours of our impending doom,or some other mass panic crisis for the happier posters to get stuck into .Give it time .

things are just slowly bumping along at this time as well as they can for our club.

No, no, no.

 

It's the club itself that's dying a death!! Just had a look at the rather excellent e-catalogue from the Superstore (sorry for the positivity) and any Hobos will be creaming themselves with the caption that goes with the shots at Waverley Station....

It's winter, the nights are fair drawing in and we are in the middle of a losing slump with little activity to keep us warm.

 

That and the fact that I'm working as much overtime as I can -- we are busy,busy busy -- that's my excuse for a lack of posts.

In our case, "no news is good news" but sometimes it reduces what people can talk about.

 

Reports of KB's demise are greatly exaggerated, therefore! :P

The problem is that too many FUNNIES post too often. When we are feeling good (or even bad) about ourselves we have floods of posts, but the fact is they are all rehashes of previoius posts.

There is only so much you can say about Hearts, and too many want to say it again and again and again. That equals boring, boring, boring...

New news; new players; new success and we will see a resurgence.

ps I will not even check the response to this post: too boring...

It's all the same ol', same ol'!!!

 

Boring, stuck in the groove bitching and moaning!!!

 

It's got that, when you see a thread and you think that sounds good, I'll have a look at that, and you get about 6 or 7 posts in, and it's like Groundhog Day!!!

 

You can pick any thread, and if it's on the face of it a "runner", it doesn't matter whether it's pro or anti, the same stuff comes out, sometimes regurgitated in a slightly different way, but often, not even as inventive as that!!!

 

The lunatics have taken over the asylum may be a bit extreme but, let it suffice to say, well, it's about as entertaining as it used to be watching Kilmarnock in the 60's - got it right, results wise a lot of the time, but boring as hell!!!

Speaking generally about sites such as Kickback, the trend seems to be that the number of posts increase when there is something negative to post about.

 

When things are going reasonably smoothly, people are less prone to rush to the keyboard and vent their spleen.

 

Things have been quiet of late...comparitively speaking that is.

 

Now, this obviously could be taken as a positive....but if you are a pessemist, then it is only a matter of time before another disaster strikes! ;)

Strictly speaking, it's not dying a death...user activity is around what it always was, members are just not posting as much.

 

Blame the credit crunch. :P

I think the whole 'Hobo' accustaions does act as a bit of a deterrent - posts like the guy who met Csaba at the airport are good but why the need to 'provide boarding passes' , 'name the names' etc. It is tiresome and I'm sure does prevent people posting as much, reducing the level of debate.

 

It's a message board for Gods sake - not a school playground.

 

I still browse a lot but have stopped posting - just interested to see the dramatic fall off in posts...glad to see there are as many lurkers hanging around though Dexter.

 

Maybe we can have a section for 'Hobos' ? Or ditch the Hobo icon?

In a nutshell. A t*rd can only take so much polishing.

 

I still regularly visit KB to read threads but apart from Uly's predictions thread (and I even forgot to post my scores on that thread last week) I find the topics mostly repetitive, dreary and doom laden.

 

A case of no news is no news.

Here's a thought - try getting out more, there is a world out there :)

Not complaining, merely observing.

 

I think it is interesting - we have done the state of the club to death, there isn't much more to be say, and interest eventually drops away.

I have taken a 4-5 month hiatus due to the fact that the board was awash and overrun with keyboard Nazi's loaded with negative equity brain power.

Mind you, if you start another "How about we do something about the current state of our club?" thread I'm sure JKB will be plenty busy. :eek:

Not sure whether to take that as a dig, or a compliment, or both, or what !

 

I'll go for the polite and cynical "dig" ... !

I haven't been a member that long but haven't posted as much as i would have liked to because i cannot be bothered with the fact that reasonable debate is stifled by the self appointed hobo finders, who contribute nothing but snide on liners usually ending with :hobofish:

As well as that, and of more concern, are the minority of halfwits whose sole purpose is to defend supporters rights to cultural expression (for that read bigotry and intolerance) without actually having the minerals to admit their own stance on the matter without the nudge, nudge, wink, wink smiley use.

KBseems to be full of gangs of moral guardians now, those that don?t toe their party line are subjected to stalking and abuse by numerous posters that seem to be able to operate with impunity.

 

Face facts people, its possible to dislike Celtic more than Rangers without being a bigot. Songs are just that, Songs, they are not sectarian just because you disagree with them being sung.

 

But of course don?t let the above get in the way of presenting yourself as a super nice person who constantly tries to shake with rage harder and longer than the other hand wringers on here.

 

FFS it?s an internet forum, treat it as such, no one cares what you post as long as you post your honest opinion, not what you thing other want to read. Your only lying to yourself by pretending to be what your not.

I like the board.

Mostly for Hearts related informational purposes.

Sometimes just to find out if I'm a biggot or a racist. :P

Used to be fun. Pretty much a crock of ****e these days.

 

Too many folks who care more about flags, songs, or apologising for Vlad, than they do about HMFC.

"Used to be fun. Pretty much a crock of ****e these days.

 

Too many folks who care more about flags, songs, or apologising for Vlad, than they do about HMFC."

 

when all is said and done, it's two opposing points of view which are people are equally entitled to.

 

if you don't like vlad apologists on the boards, surely it's better to turn them to your POV through debate, rather than trying to devalue their opinions with a dismissive statement like that.

Shut up and go away you naughty boy:)

It is incredible to witness 15-20 minute gaps in between posts at 10.55 pm on a Thursday night?

 

C'mon now, there are more active members on KB than EVER before.

 

I think you just picked the first thing that came to your head and had a wee moan about it!

 

I've noticed a slow down as well; there can be days when there is no movement on the threads below the top 6 or 7 (especially in the shed) for absolutely ages.

 

I used to be all about the terrace. Now I can barely be arsed. A lot of threads are the same arguments played out betwene the same sets of people, ad nauseum.

 

A lot of the better posters are posting less and less.

 

However, these things go in cycles. TBH a st midden game away, and no real news coming out of the club at the moment, means there is really nothing to talk about, so that could go some way to explaining the downturn. I can remember quite a few times in the last few years when I have despaired at the crap on here, only for it to pick up a mere 2 weeks later and go into a really good spell.

 

One thing I do notice is that the humour has gone, quite substantially.

I think thats due in no small part to the "i choose to be offended by that mob" who have taken it on to rid JKB of anything funny by deciding what is right and wrong.

 

It used to be such a funny board.

You're preaching to the converted there.

Been there, tried that, got abused for my trouble.

 

Too many on here appear to lack the intelligence or ability to debate without resorting to abuse, and it always degenerates to a slagging match. IMO.

Always playing the victim.......

 

There are many on hear who I am sure do not lack the intelligence or ability to debate without resorting to abuse, but what they do instead is flood the board with post after post basically saying the same thing over and over again.

fair enough, i know what you mean.

 

the shame is that we are here discussing this instead of actual hearts related issues. i think it's just a slow phase in the cycle, there hasn't been any really interesting news to discuss of late.

JKB is definitely going through a bit of a lean spell at the moment. I've still been browsing a bit I don't hang around as long as usual.

 

Hopefully it will pick up as the teams fortunes pick up. :whistling:

 

At the moment though, it's a bit like being trapped in a lift with a load of people having the same argument...for ever.
