Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

Ok. I didn't really want to start a new topic.
l only wanted to ask advice. Do any of you post on Bluemoon also or is that a no-no.
I read for years before deciding to post here and on BM also to see what would transpire. Have to say I'm getting nowhere fast on BM, but I've surprised myself, in how addictive I find it here.
There are some pretty good threads that I've tried to join in, but nobody seems to engage much. Maybe I'm boring. Fair enough if so, but has anyone else, tried and given up.
Feel free to turn this thread into a general other forums discussion or let it die a quick death. Just didn't know where to place the question.

Yes I heard it's great. But I promised a mate of mine I'd stay off it and leave it to him.

I post on both and like the variety of each. BM is busier. This site is more personal, Chinners daily update is the best, and there are generally more thoughtful opinions here.There is less site moderation here and one or two posters can be unnecessarily abusive.

I dont post on any other forum, however i do like to read other forums inc rag cafe, RAWK, KUMB etc. Just to see what opinions are from other fans. Also it makes me like this place better as there are some absolute idiots out there, however, we have very few here.
I have been very close to signing up to rival sites on occasion to try and put the eecord straight on some drivel being spouted. Then i count to 10 and click back and read something else.

I am signed up on Villatalk, but they are mostly decent guys on there and we had a couple of ex-City players there at the time.

I have the same experience but in my case I think it's because I actually mostly post benign or boring thoughts. In your case I think it's because you're relatively new, as the site's kind of personal and all of that. Stick around and post in line with the common sense you already have and I don't think you have to worry. Moreover, just because someone doesn't reply to a post doesn't mean people don't read it or find it uninteresting.
I used to post on a Swedish forum but that forum died. Or it never lived. I don't know. I kind of think I destroyed a bit by posting to much. Nobody likes a bore.
"I used to be 6 foot 2 with curly hair, look what it's done to me"
"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

For clarification, the bold bit is a comment about BM isn't it?
You've done only about 200 posts but the content of some of them has been first class. Stick around cos you sound like a top bloke with some very readable views.

Yep, on a geeks NFL forum that about 15 of us contribute to.
As for other footy forums, nope. Occasionally glance at BM as at the end of the day its all City fans and some of the stuff on there is funny at times, but I reserve posting to this place.

I used to post on BM but found it was a waste of time due to it being very very busy , good posts get lost very quickly plus it does get very personal , I still look in though . I also look in from time to time on other prem clubs sites just to get a gist of there opinion of certain issues , all good usually . This site has quite a few very knowledgable and thoughtfull posters who offer varied opinions and is far far less personal than BM . I enjoy this site and what it offers to get my City fix when we aren't playing etc etc :-)
Not really here

No . Since the Muen decided to insist on facebook accounts etc i have dropped anything to do with them.
mcf.net has my undivided attention.

Don't worry about people not engaging! this is an internet forum, not a counselling session!!
I went into BM a few times but there is a lot of shit in there way too much for me.

Think of Bluemoon as more like Mary D's - where everyone has to shout to be heard and its all very busy and quite a few idiots around but it can be entertaining
Think of this place as more like the Townley - Civilised, you can have a conversation, you can get your point heard and still achieve the whole point of discussing City with fellow supporters (however, every board has at least one dickhead)

Good summary. I go on BM when it's dead on here, lonely with no fucker to talk to! By definition it is then also relatively quiet on BM so you can get in a thread.
Oh for the days of all those arguments about Mark Hughes!!!!
I go on TEAMTALK as well. It's not instant, but you can interact with other clubs' fans, for better or for worse!
Edit - I too abandoned MUEN when they went all Facebook.
