| Ipswich Star - Comments 10:16 - Oct 2 with 2032 views | DecageBruce |
Before I found TWTD, 6 or so years ago, I used to enjoy the comments on this site under the articles. There were a few clear trolls (Pundit I think being the last reincarnation that I remember) but living away from the town I sometimes found it insightful as to the thoughts and general feeling of some fans
Just signed up to take a general look through the comment as hadnt bothered for years and it appears to have died. Very few comments at all. I did notice that upon signing up is distinctly outlines and make you 'agree' for them to use IP address data etc.
Do you think this has cut down on what people are willing to put up on the site? Is it the same here? Would it make a difference to certain posters and what they put if it was?
Also, did Pundit (and I can't remember some of the others they went under) ever make it onto the forum. They had a very distinctive and repetitive style so not picked up that it is a current regular poster |  | | |  |

Pundit was perma-banned from here for, as I recall, making some pretty offensive comments about Dale Roberts. |  |

I think Pundit lives at the Star now. |  |

I don't know their specific terms, but I'm sure it's nothing to do with that. We probably have a similar request. |  |

Ahh ok. Never saw him be offensive on there just repetitive and boring.
I always pictured Adrian Durham at the other end of his keyboard | | | |

Pundit posted on here for years and was mostly an excellent poster, but he went insane over Burley Dale Roberts and Sheepshanks. His handle was NerdyKnowAll. |  |

I always assumed that Pundit was an Archant employee whose job was to wind people up on the comments to provoke more response.
How do you know that Pundit and Nerdy are the same people? |  |

I used to read that before I found twtd too, I remember there were a couple of Norwich fans who commented on everything, and every time someone would rise to the bait. It was the fact they weren't banned and Ipswich fans gave them the reaction they were after made me look elsewwhere :-) |  |

For much the same reason that people know that Bandbox and Facey were definitely, 100%, different people.. [Post edited 2 Oct 2018 16:09]
