Totally fed up with SCFC a team I have supported all my life.
zFound the Oatcake some years ago after I started to discover the internet and many years after my only source of information was the Sentinel.
I enjoy the EE on the Oatcake, but despair at the vitriol and abuse that I often see on here.
I have no intention of leaving but would welcome some encouragement of why people should stay, as it has been quite bad just lately.

It's an opinion board mate, you can choose to or not to, it's up to you. You are never going to gain any moral satisfaction from it. I find it good to not have an echo chamber which many social media applications may give you. I hope you stay, the more the better! |

There’s a number of posters that I respect and in no specific order are:
deesidestokie
mickmillslovechild
sheikmomo
bigjohnritchie
salopstick
Views and opinions vary and I don’t agree with some of the things posters comment on but everyone seems to bring something to the table.
There’s some PROPER gallows humour which I just sit and belly laugh at and also cringe at the same time
It’s how you approach it that counts I think. If you take things too seriously it gets a drag.
Try to see the brighter side

Although most threads are still "relatively normal", I think the political threads have greatly raised the levels of vitriol and abuse when posters have the temerity to voice an opinion that disagrees with that of certain posters. At times it's become an extremely unpleasant place. At the end of the day we're all Stoke fans (that's why we on here in the first place, isn't it?) so surely there's no need for such outright nastiness just for having a different opinion. |

As a relatively new poster on here this site has enhanced my "enjoying" the football and I've spoken to some genuinely interesting and nice people on here esp the EE board. I've also gleefully blocked a few utter twats which has in turn improved my experience . Without becoming stuck in a rut, once kids are in bed it remains a small pleasure in life to come on here and see who's arguing today and posting stuff that's simply interesting to read. Better than Facebook  |

This forum has always been full of negativity. It's the way it's always been. Certain posters were even moaning about Arnie and Shaq when we were privileged to have them playing for us. If you want cheering up, you're in the wrong place.

If you want cheering up, you're in the wrong place. I don't think it's this place per se. If you listen to the news or read the newspapers it's become the fashion to concentrate on the negative. Now whilst I don't want the news sugar coated it's a fact that there's plenty of happiness out there going unreported. There's plenty of well rounded (not fat ) posters on here contributing but the empty vessels make the most noise as usual. |

The constant vitriol from one particular poster was hate-filled and deeply unsettling - to put it mildly - and literally made me feel quite ill. |

Must admit that I don't come on here as much as I used too.
Yes some get carried away with their fingers some times and have been on the receiving end, but others chime in and sort it :-)
There are lots of interesting views that if sober can make one think about what is posted and as I live other side of the world these days but do visit every other year, keeps one informed of whats going on.
The football page is always lets pick on someone that from week to week changes mostly.
Happy New Year everyone, UTMP.
