GrangemouthRSC 832 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Most of the new members are taigs who are found out after a few posts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieG54 812 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I joined over a week ago but had been a member when site was first created (2006?). Banned for some unknown reason but been reading Bears Den since last summer and love it. Joined up to create my own views and have some banter.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 They are easy to spot: they start topics,; they are not new, because they navigate their way round the topics too well. When someone really starts on here for the first time you can tell: they don't come in throwing the 'furniture' about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The RST threads amuse me as when the 'influx' enter the fray I just picture the Ultimate Warrior running in to save Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle 3,734 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'm new to this forum and don't think I fit into your stereotype.There are some of us who are long-standing Rangers fans, but the issues of the last few weeks have made us both desperate for news, and also looking for anyone that might understand what we are going through.

TheCutch 4,340 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I joined up not long before we went into Administration, and so I am probably not in the group you are talking about.But my reason was I had been a long time reader (nightshift) and just decided I would join in with the banter.P. S The Goodwillie thread got me hooked. My F5 button has never recovered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.J. MacReady 226 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Do you have to hate the RST,TBK, MD and FF to be a member of RM? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast 9,300 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 For clarification, this thread is not about genuine new members who are of course always welcome but instead about those new members who's only purpose seems to be to defend and push the agendas of those organisations and especially those individuals quoted in my orginal post.

bluepeter 5,627 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 There are members who come on here when the RST is being discussed purely to defend them, but that's understandable. I have no doubt it's mentioned on other websites if there is a perceived "RST bashing thread" on here, I'd expect it to be mentioned on here if an "RM bashing thread" was ongoing on a different site. There are people who are members of both sites, but mainly post on one. For them to come over and defend their position is understandable, we have absolutely no problem with it. I'll repeat what I've said several times in the past couple of days, we want to hear both sides of every debate Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesteel 218 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 There seems to be a significant influx of new RM members who only post to defend the RST or TBK or MD or FF or all of the above.Has there been some form of mobilisation on FF or somewhere else for these people to join RM for this reason and this reason alone ?I have been a poster on another site (nearly 3000) I feel there is an agenda being pushed for TBKs who I support anyway but,cant help feeling there is an ulterior motive,for their support. (seat on the board.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldo 7 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 The bizarre thing, to me, is that any support for one group or another won't have much discernible effect on the outcome of the winning bidder for the club since I'm under the impression it's down to the administrators (and don't think they post here regularly )Think there has been a more noticeable push lately from RST supporters to drive fans to join up. Don't have a problem with this as such, just feel there are broader issues to be discussed and debated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Its only fair that people know about any skeletons (perceived or otherwise) in the closets of anyone who may be involved in our club in an official capacity.Especially after the Whyte debacle.The accusations and insinuations about cash issues and lack of transparency of the RST would be easy to nail in one single post by their treasurer.Until that happens I fear these threads will keep recurring.

Lets face it, mistakes happen and that's just a fact of life. What's needed is complete transparency and engagement with all fans (regardless of their membership status..)

Balgairbear 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 There seems to be a significant influx of new RM members who only post to defend the RST or TBK or MD or FF or all of the above.Has there been some form of mobilisation on FF or somewhere else for these people to join RM for this reason and this reason alone ? I am a member and agree with some of those above you talk about in your OP, So does that mean i should not be a member of this site Or just not allowed to disagree with the majority on this site ?

The Beast 9,300 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 No where did I say that?My point is that there seems to be several people who tick all of or most of those boxes.I'm wondering if there is some kind of campaign going on elsewhere encouraging them to join at this time.

As you have probably worked out i am a member of the RST and FF but it does NOT mean i agree with everything they say or do, But it does make my blood boil whenever someone on FF comes up with an idea and RM explodes into " MD must be behind it and making money out of it " mode, I would expect that from the darkside but not from fellow bears, It really saddens my heart when i see this inter site rivelry, After all " It's all about the Rangers " is it not ? PS I have never seen any sugest we come on here to " mix " it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
