The old Gasroom was never taken seriously as a barometer for fans' opinions, as it was I believe, always seen as a forum of the few. It seems to me that this new version has been a great success so far...are you able to say how many have registered, so we really know the strength of it??

    Seems like 163 have registered so far from looking at the activity page.

    Furthermore, does this forum have the capacity for polls? It strikes me that the club could do a lot worse than to embrace a community like this now that a lot of the nonsense has hopefully been cut out. A poll every now and then might really give them some useful (if somewhat informal) statistics to gauge what fans think.

    Does it matter that the Gasroom wasn't taken seriously as a barometer for fans' opinions? It'd be disappointing to me if Gasroom 2.0 became some sterile horror with everyone agreeing and being reasonable.

    There's always room for a well argued row or 'bit of nonsense' to keep things entertaining.

    One minor thing I think would be useful - although it may not be possible - is the ability to quote other posts (without having to cut and paste manually). Having lost the nested replies feature from the original Gasroom, this would give a good indicator when you're replying to a particular comment.

    If we can get up to 400 registered and active users, we will have approx 10% of our regular home attendance posting on this forum. I don't think that should ever be dismissed as a barometer for fans' opinions!

    Can I suggest some forum subdivisions?

    Wind Up Merchants - for pre-match banter

    Tucker Chump's Tactics Truck - for pseudo expert post-match analysis. May want to check with SMBU whether they will allow their meat purveyor to sponsor it!

    Brownie's Camera - for historic archive pictures and picture competitions.

    Good call Tory. I was thinking that would be the best way myself.

    Probably need none football related one as well for all the Power station, Piers and Music related stuff.

    I also need one on Coal mining and the eternal damage Thatcher done to the countries Mining communities.

    @drcongo I really should do more work, but its even more addictive as everytime I see the Yellow flash new I have to read it and that's makes me more inclined to respond!

  • arnos_grovearnos_grove

    @Tory_Goon for Tucker Chump's Tactics Truck section should there be a sub folder for those who want to pontificate about failings despite 'not being able to get to the game'?

    @drcongo top stats!

  • Morris_ItalMorris_Ital
    Reading other peoples forums mainly to get opposing fans opinions on how we played before vital posted them i see a lot of them have "off topic" sections
  • FidgetFidget

    Exactly what @M3G said - those darned yellow NEW icons really do make it almost addictive to click on the thread to see what wonderful new nugget of information/tedious drivel has been posted since last checking.

  • drcongodrcongo

    I think an off-topic section might be a good idea. Saw some really interesting things on the old gasroom that would promptly be shouted down for not having enough of a connection to Wycombe Wanderers.

  • Morris_ItalMorris_Ital

    Ive Been on the receiving end of the "purists" and am still recovering

    Who the hell is reading this stuff in Iceland ? (Presumably that's Iceland the country rather than the HW branch of Iceland purveyors of frozen cholesterol )

    Can we call the off-topic section "Piss drenched chinos", rightfully putting it where it belongs?

  • arnos_grovearnos_grove

    If Monsoon ever appears on here there will have to be a Yoyoyoyoyo section, covering away kits and Sky adjusted kick-off times.

  • WestLondonWandererWestLondonWanderer

    Can we have a section purely for Tattler and Devon Chairboys?

    But I still can't fathom out the Activity thing .

    Wowzers, top stuff! Don't suppose there's a winning lottery number predictor feature you could enable for us, or maybe a button that displays a random Rachel Riley picture on screen? I'm a simple chap, I don't need much to make me happy...

  • TomTom

    I think someone asked in a different thread if you got the Christmas light box off the Gas Man?

  • drcongodrcongo

    I haven't got the xmas lights box I'm afraid. It was stuck behind the water tank.

  • TomTom

    Prepare for the backlash to begin!! ;)

  • drcongodrcongo

    I'll pick up some budget secular holiday lights from Lidl and put them up in June.

    I'd vote for the Rachel Riley button

    A sub section for tatics would be nerdtastic, and probably my new home. Also a section for players of Football Manger, they can discuss how they have brought messi and Ronaldo and if they can do it why can't Gareth.⚽

    I pity any female visitors who stumble on here to view close ups of KeithBarret's chest wig ... You can almost smell the brut 33 dripping off the page

    I also second a football manager sub section. I'm currently battling to keep Wycombe in the Championship in the year 2020. The only original player I have left is Pierre, although I only just shipped Ingram out this season.

    Sorry. I just nerded out to the max there.
