You gonna get in trouble for that!

Does highlight a problem though, i'm sure most would be interested to read this, but we no longer have a brilliant and horrific free-for-all twitter thread. Where to put it?

Nowhere?

I'm not sure most want to read this. For all we know, it's a load of bovine feces. I'm sure people can go on twitter if they want to read it.

Thank you for your guidance, oh internet policeman. In future I shall be more discreet and post along the lines of "pssst... you guys... there's something of interest on *the other place*... wink wink nudge nudge".

I bow to your wisdom.

That is the $64,000 dollar question, cos I reckon there's a genuine interest in this, and in the 'World of Twitter bollocks'.
But hey, whatcha gonna do?


There is no interest. Spurger King has spoken. Stop thinking for yourself immediately, peasant.

Well where else would you put it?

Im with you pal, why not have a twitter thread? it beats reading nothing in here!! IMO. Even if it may not be true. Also Spurvert used to PM me last window, Most of the stuff was spot on too.

It was a genuine question though, where *am* I meant to post stuff like that if not here?

Valid point but we had a 'dubious goals panel' piece of ITK via HoofHarted earlier & now this and the line is a bit blurry?
Especially regards the medium of 'general roundup', cos there's not a specific player thread to port it over to.

It's not even June! And I get that the mods don't want to provide alternatives or bend on this but it may become problematic...

Just my 2 centimes.

What was the verdict after the twitter thread last window (or was it last summer?). I think there was a thread to decide whether to do it again- I'm guessing the verdict was no??

I may have done something that will go down in history as a work of sheer genius or get A&C telling me "if it was that easy we'd've done it years ago": there is now a "General Spurs Gossip" thread to try out.

Last I saw, the vote was very close.
Think it came down to mod preference in the absence of overwhelming consensus

Saw your thread. Went to reply. Discovered the discussion had been shut down.

Sounds good to me.

I dislike the daily ITK discussion thread for two reasons.

1. Some of us only check the site once or twice a day, and simply can't be arsed to wade through 50 pages of irrelevant twaddle and off-topic nonsense to get to the three or four posts of interest.

2. I've just discovered there are apparently rules governing what can and can't be posted here (even though to me it seems like loads of people just talking rubbish), with no alternative place to post stuff which isn't worthy of the 50 gospel pages of the daily ITK thread.

I'm with you.

:D

'Tis a good idea. This thread should be for actual ITK discussion.

The simple answer would be to re-instate the twitter thread, maybe amalgamate it into a twitter/dubious ITK thread ?
