I think so
But I might be wrong. Obviously I'm, going to be biased, but I struggle to see better. I often go on forums , especially following a game
Also, when we get visiting supporters here, we disagree, but we don't tend to give them total condemnation , we have banter, proper banter and we often quite
complimentary to the opposition with a subjective view. Many fanzines just seem much more aggressive and dismissive
All I would say is , well done fellow oatcakers

Every fan base suffers from the same petiness, the same few retarded posters and a couple that just enjoy winding people up. We're not the best, we're not the worst....
Because the Arsenal fans are the worst, what a bunch of cuntbags

It's one of the better ones. Some of them are laid out so terribly with adverts IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DISCUSSION...!

I believe several similar size clubs have their message board audience spread over 2 or 3 similar sized sites, I think it is great that we are all pretty much together in one place on the Oatcake.
I know someone will tell me that their are other SCFC message boards but whenever I have checked any them out and to see who is posting on them the answer has for the most part been 'not a fucker'!
I like not having to think where to go to get my fill of Stoke City chat.
Oh, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, we have some great posters on here...knowledgeable ones, those who know their history, deliberately funny ones, accidentally funny ones, emotional ones, ones who could start an argument in an empty room, wind up merchants, the clinically insane...all life is here on the Oatcake!!

It's one of the better ones. Some of them are laid out so terribly with adverts IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DISCUSSION...! Blue Moon is hell. Videos that play automatically when you access any page on any thread. RTG displays a tiny number of posts per page. Too many boards are split into too many sub forums (fora?) that are virtually unused. One of the best bits of the Oatcake is that there's a football board, where all of the football stuff goes. None of the pratting about with a board for Stoke, one for the Premier League, one for the Championship, one for League One, one for League Two, one for world football, one for the rest of the country, one for the FA Cup, one for matchday threads and so on. It's also good that while the admin don't like multiple threads on the same subject, they don't insist on limiting all discussion on any given topic to one single thread. See how most other Premier League boards have a giant 1,000 page thread that starts with the rumour of a certain manager being appointed and then devolves into everybody moaning about said manager or whatever. I hate other boards, they're crap. This place keeps it nice and simple. A small bit of pedantry, though. I'm not sure that this board counts as an online fanzine, since it isn't actually an online version of the fanzine. It's just a forum that's a sort of attachment on the side of the fanzine, if that makes sense.

Fullermagics news service is invaluable. Ted brings pathos. Sadly some genuine ITKers have been abused and left the site. As for the rest of us we just talk rubbish!

I think for a lot of us this message board is Stoke City. I spend hours every day looking at this board (pathetic I know) to get my fill on all things Stoke. The posters on this board are what I have based my affinity for the club on. I rarely if ever look at the official site because all I care about knowing is on here.
I have very little interest at looking at other Prem league boards, although for a laugh I'll pop over the see what those deluded c@nts on RTG have to say.
If there is any problem with this board I blame Kitson!
