Re: Yet more news re DFC Official news
I used to click on all the links, now I don't bother unless it seems important. I think the intention was to get a lot more visits to the official site, but these multiple posts will almost certainly have the opposite effect. They could have put all the reports on youth games, on just one post.

Where's he getting this kettle?
"At a meeting held at the Grammar School on Friday last - Mr Phillip Wood M.A., in the chair - it was resolved to form an Association Football Club for Darlington and neighbourhood. The opinions of those present were so unanimous as to the desirability of this step, that a committee was formed to complete the organisation of the club, and Mr Craven, 17, Garden Street, was appointed secretary pro tem." - The Northern Echo, Monday 23rd July 1883

This isn't a person doing this it is automatically generated. There would need to be a rule in place that a computer can follow to decide whether to post the article or not - if the article has 'under ##' in it post to an existing thread.
Mikky maybe time for a vote?

Re: Yet more news re DFC Official news
Pathetic. Was it not the mods on the independent forum that automated the links? Are "we" not us? I thought the fans were the club now, or is that not the case for you? Maybe we need to face facts - Uncovered was a hive of activity, and at it's best when we were at odds with the club and it's owners, or in times of jeopardy when we needed fans rallied to the cause. When things are going well, there's less to moan about, or get het up about, hence the reduced number of posts. Removing the official links won't increase "independent" threads, you'll just be able to notice quicker how few there are.theoriginalfatcat wrote:Here are some more news stories that are coming up shortly ---

Re: Yet more news re DFC Official news
You make a very interesting point, in the bad old days of the club acting as a Chairman's whim and folly then it was an us and them situation but now we are a Fan owned club then yes it should be "us", this is something that takes a while to adjust to for some and not for others.HarryCharltonsCat wrote:Pathetic.

Without getting into a long convoluted argument - I stand by what I wrote above.HarryCharltonsCat wrote:Pathetic. Was it not the mods on the independent forum that automated the links?

We/they/us/fans/club, that's not the point. The point is, if I want to look at the official site I will do, so consequently I don't want it all moving on to here - the multiple posts by a robot are spoiling the look of this board, take a look at the thread that Bushead started for a few reasons.
And as for "Removing the official links won't increase "independent" threads, you'll just be able to notice quicker how few there are" I never wrote or implied this!!
Anyway we'll have to agree to disagree.

Re: Yet more news re DFC Official news
The ironic thing is I can't actually find links to the highlights on here anymore - something that I do want to see!!
I can obviously grab them off Twitter but not everyone uses Twitter

Re: Yet more news re DFC Official news
They rather ironically don't put a link on the match highlights, just on everything else!!
Re: Yet more news re DFC Official news
I'll hold my hand up to that one. I normally do an article after I post the extended highlights and put both the video links in there. However I left the video to upload while I was out Sunday and launched it remotely by logging onto my computer via my phone while out. It totally slipped my mind to do the story when I got back in. Sorry.

Re: Yet more news re DFC Official news
You can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but just try pleasing Darlo fans. Herculean task for anyone.

Re: Yet more news re DFC Official news
Darlo_Pete in snide, repetitive comment shock...you are just a deliberate pest aren't you?
You are the kind of bloke who would buy a second hand VW now and then complain about the emissions scandal.

Hopefully one that doesn't blow off too much steam with officials.
