Away From The Numbers

All good things come to an end. Or so they say. AFTN has been around since 1989, first as a fanzine and then making the jump to a website and forum in 2003. We've been through the many ups and down at East Fife in those 12 years but policing the forum has become a giant pain in the ass in recent years. As such, we made the decision not to renew it when it expired.

The forum is no more and will remain as a locked archive until it is eventually deleted by the host. We're looking in to try to save some of the content as an archive.

This is not the end of AFTN though. The site will continue and will be revamped and return in its full glory for the start of the 2016/17 season. Maybe even sooner. There will be a comment sections and possibly even a new, registered forum. Check our Twitter (@aftnwebsite) for all the latest info and we'll also post in on the EFFC memories Facebook page.

Until then, have a last browse here, thanks for all your support over the years, and 'Mon the Fife.

Personal Abuse

Ok, we've had to take down a couple of posts and threads in the last week with fans personally abusing fellow fans and crossing the line.

This really isn't serving any purpose and is just going to lead to a whole host of nastiness down the line, both online and potentially at games.

We're not going to get on or agree with everyone on here, but try and keep the arguments the right side of the line.

I have no problem with heated discussion and sometimes it'll lead to some abusive name calling. Call someone a dick. Tell them to fuck off. That's fine and part of life.

When it becomes deeply personal and hurtful, the comments aren't going to stay up here going forward.

We are all wanting the same thing at the end of the day and our current shit performances are making us all a bit more irritable.

Re: Personal Abuse

I keep saying that I log onto a few football websites and obviously there are individual arguements on threads from time to time but this site is the worst by far for fans turning on each other.

I am not talking about opposition fans on the wind - that makes them fair game and they get dogs' abuse. All part of life's rich tapestry.

On a grander scale, I think we live in an intolerant age at the moment and not being prepared to listen to other people's opinion but respond with abusive language seems to be the norm.

It used to be 'I do not agree with a word you say but I shall defend to my death your right to say it'. Now it's 'I do not agree with a word you say you fucking retard'.

Re: Personal Abuse

Completely agree and well done GoF. Also, the personal abuse of players has got to stop.

Re: Personal Abuse

The use of the word 'Retard'.... would you like to explain to the rest of us....
It's easy to offend on a forum eh!

Re: Personal Abuse

it's easy to offend almost anyone in these intolerant times.
