Go start one then...
Start one then tell people about it and if they want to come by and chat they will... If they don't they won't!
Simple really.

I'm saying that having another site for Loyalists business (not to discuss RSL, soda pop or love in's) would send a message that Neil's site is neutral.

In the past, we HAVE referred to this site as the official Loyalists forum. So is it? Or isn't it? If you want to leave things the way they are, we need Neil to give us an official definition of this site. Is this a "neutral" forum with an "official" subforum?

I'm not trying to create division. I'm trying to make this place a forum that is unifying. Does anybody other than me see the vision of this? Oh never mind. Nope. Whatever. I'm not all that set on it to make a big deal out of it. I'm just throwing the idea out there.

But by the way, the people who would appreciate this are already gone. Of course nobody who's left is going to agree with me....

I really don't think another forum is warranted. There isn't anything that we would need to discuss that we can't do here, if there were, we could hold a meeting.

For whatever it's worth, I'm not a Loyalist and I don't feel threatened by the fact that this has been the official Loyalist forum or whatever the perception is.

I just want to talk about RSL. Preferably with people who aren't *&^%nuggets like 99% of the BigSoccer forums.

I can't imagine anyone having a problem with any post that is directed towards RSL, no matter what supporter's group you belong to.

I agree also.... :stupid: I can barely get signed on to my computer and this web site, let alone trying to find several differnt places to look and post.

This isn't Burger King... Striving to make every single person that comes here or wants to post here happy is an impossibility. We have accomodated RCB, they have their own page here, if they choose not to use it that's their prerogative.

I understand what you are saying Jules, I just respectfully disagree. Like I mentioned in a different thread, once time has healed things a bit, I think RCB will be back. Why? One reason:This forum can act as a great recruitment tool.

I think Jules has the right idea, trying to make RSL.org club-neutral.
But I think this site already works. Others (such as those in the RCB) may disagree, but as this thread has shown, there are still many non-Loyalists that are RSL fans that post here.
And they think its fairly neutral.

If the RCB wants to have their own forum because of percieved prejudice, let them. They can also post on BS if they like.
However, as a Loyalist, I like this forum and what Neil has provided and feel any creation of a "Loyalist -only" forum would just be a drain on our limited resources.

Fine.
Y'all think "the problem" has gone away and are happy to say "All is Well." Forgive me but I just don't see things the same way.
Neil, Ethan or Eric, please close this thread before I elaborate.
