Thing is I try to run it how you guys want it, not how I want it.
The other night - and it was night - my time and I was trying to help. Not sure if I have lost credibility, would be surprising after running the entire network for 15 years if closing and opening one thread caused such a downfall...
I could login as vitalfootballadmin, build no relations with all you fine folks, be officious/official and god how boring that would be.
And if I've made mistakes in the past, I've always reversed them, on any forum. I'm not very precious and respect the majority view.
I also, (despite my love of this network and my appreciation of all the users who come on, as the loyalty is what has made Vital so great over the years despite the onslaught of social media and other pressures competition wise) try not to take these things too seriously, there is a big bad (!) world out there and these places are meant to be our fun/entertainment.
JUST TO BE CLEAR though. I have consulted over the years with numerous users by pm and acted on what I think is the majority view, and I am not running this board as a Villa fan. As said, I am more than happy to go back to the boring vitalfootballadmin login, but that is without personality and to me, is 'hiding' behind a badge.
I have asked a few over the years if they want to be alert team members and quite rightly - don't blame them at all - they've said no thanks... (or two other words, one ending in off !!!!!!!!!)
Will be more than happy to make arthur_itis admin to do the sticking, moving, closing etc threads. Then I can do the other side as it isn't fair for him to come on and have to give warnings or get involved with the arguments (and lets be honest, most of this is fairly infrequent, it isn't as if I am having to 'tell people off' that often!)
