Unless there's been a thread, or some posts that have been deleted, I'm a little bemused. Actually I'm flumoxed! There's really nothing here on this thread that's particularly egregious. Not that you have to agree with comments made by any poster. But nothing extreme in the slightest.
And having read past exchanges Scott has had with people: Here and even more on the other non-WATRB boards, especially on LFW, which has seen some really, REALLY nasty comments made About Scott, but which has had no impact on Scott posting, I'm even more bemused. Scott can give. Scott can take. Yet I don't recall other "Delete my account" by Scott.
So I have to assume - without any knowledge - that Scott has been "persuaded" to depart this board. By whom? Why? No idea. But I have to assume there's something more to this.
Anyway I wish Scott well. Scott I believe was the first person to "sign" up with this board when I started it just under a year ago. And was of course, the first person to become a moderator here. So thanks. And you're welcome back any time.

I would really like to know what you have against the IndyRs board, seems like a group of genuine fans to me. All these board wars are becoming quite ridiculous, let someone not interested in football read all these flame wars and they would laugh at you for being silly 3-year olds. Edit: says one who left the WATRB-board in anger

To be fair, this board should be join up with indyr's. Thats not a dig, but it would increase readership. You sing from the same hymn sheet and it would mean it will be all in one place, instead of going to two different sites all the time.
It makes perfect sense.

Well I invite you to go talk to Indys about that And I think I and Indys over the years have had some strong differences of views on a number of matters. I'd say a far more apt statement would be to suggest that WATRB officially link up with the Official Site !

Seriously you should email your buddy, think it would work.
Not for me to get involved in discussions, but good luck.
. You have a great moderating team and matching up with a board which has the same beliefs and agendas would work well, in my view.

Pete,
Why do you think that everyone has an agenda? It just takes someone expressing their opinion and it's called an agenda! (But I do admit the same is being said about yourself, which I also believe to be wrong).

I think most posters on most boards would actually think the most logical step would be an official merger of the Official Site and WATRB

If you visit this board, you will see a clear agenda. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to reconise that.
In regards to my agenda, I want the club to win games, aim for promotion. I've criticised when I've needed to and praised in equal measure when things go well.
I didn't for example write Simpson off after 2 games. I have maintained this squad is good enough, lets hope the fans that think that are right.

I'm a librarian, that is obviously too lowly an occupation to see the agenda, please enlighten me!

As I said, I don't think you have EVER Criticized Paladini. (You've criticzied the manager; the players; even occasionally, Aly Russel. Maybe once or twice said a harsh word about Britore action). But re Paladini. I think not. EVER

I think if you actually read this site, you'll see that posters are not interested in attacking WATRB (or any other QPR site). We don't take our "ying" from WATRB "yang."
There are difference of views expressed and encouraged and welcomed.

What point? That people are sounding like Indys?
I do strongly disagree. Now why Scott left, I'm not sure.

qpr-report.
i think its the point, regarding being like Indyr's
Which is not surprising, considering 90% members on this board post over there.
Before I go, see about merging think it makes sense.

To me it would seem that 90% of posters across all Rangers boards hold a similar view to this one. Typical of the minority trying to rule, it's the culture everywhere these days, sadly. Mr 10% not a bad name eh!

qpr-report. i think its the point, regarding being like Indyr's Which is not surprising, considering 90% members on this board post over there. Before I go, see about merging think it makes sense. I wonder how many people who post on this site also post on dot.org or LFW or even WATRB. I'd bet that most posters here at least post on one of those three. From day one, you've constantly sought to demean this site, Pete. Which is quite a contrast to how I was a frequent poster on WATRB in the early days, when you were almost desperate for posters. And when others sought to (and continue to) characterize your site as "Fantasy Island," I backed up your site in terms of often being ITK. Just a couple of facts to consider. And as I said, there's a far greater sharing of interests between your site and the Official site than there are between this site and Indys. There is certainly one shared interest I certainly have with a number of INDYS posters - And a number of posters here. And on the other sites. We're long-term supporters of QPR. And require no "Hecher" from you - or anyone to annoint us as QPR Fans. "What profits a man to gain the whole world and loose his soul?" Something to consider.

To be honest, this is very much like Indyr's maybe slightly busier.
Think it would be a good idea to merge, but of course its up to both parties.

Some feel threatened or out of their depth engaging in open debate unless they have to power to edit/delete posts they don't like.

Well I won't repeat what I already said, but given that Scott has never been a "shrinking violet" on the messageboards - and given the treatment Scott has been given on some other messageboards (which has occurred on this board) and Scott has evinced no reluctance to...Well that's all I'll say. Obviously completely his choice. We don't ban on this site(except once briefly for which I apologized). And he's welcome back at any time in the future.

interesting that the watrbs site consider this board and indy rs to be the same site, they have accused .org and loft for words of the same things...could it be shock horror a kind of addmitance, that they ve got it wrong? after all 4 sites with roughly the same views against one site, whom some posters are also failing now to toe the party line
