As far as I'm aware, the lovely Barnabus is not about to become a mod. Although I'm sure he'd do a splendid job, if he were.
It seems i/we've managed to be both hopelessly ban-happy and haplessly lenient. Soz!

As you know the vast majority of HKR fans post on HKRfans.co.uk (as do Castleford and Widnes fans on their respective forums). Those I know who used to post on here all stopped because of the percieved moderation leniency on this board, and I doubt will return unless/until they see the process is tightened on par with other moderators on other boards.

There's not been much to be lenient on, of late. Roversmad's unabating antipathy towards JTP, apart. Mind you, as Bendybus points out, there's not been much of anything.
I enjoy a 'robust' exchange of opinions and bizarre tangents. I take your point though and can appreciate that others will be turned off by 'rudeness' and off-topic nonsense. A genuine sorry to those folks.

The intensity of the intra city rivalry makes comparison with other boards tricky. Even with the Hull FC board, as there's no equivalent of HullKRfans for our B&W brothers and sisters.

HullKRfans itself has been relatively quiet of late, as has the Hull forum. I suspect some people have moved to Twitter, where you're effectively you're your own moderator. On the other hand, i suppose there hasn't been much big news, no Paul Cooke or Tony Larvin type stuff, to get worked up about.

Oh, just bring back Mrs B, Mr (not so) Yoghurt and stop wringing your hands. She'll help punters return (as I suspect you know). JFDI.

Unfair - no right to reply!

Perhaps the original banner feels it time to review his decision, the reason for it in the first place being one of concern that numbers on here were dwindling because of Mrs B's presence.

Now, of course, the counter-argument screams in neon letters - the post count since she's gone is approaching negative numbers...

No real need for reply, I was being trying to say she should be allowed back, pretty sure she'd agree on the broken record front.

I have no problems with hull fans or any other clubs fans being on here, adds to the debate as long as kept on track.

I clarified this days ago, the Coffee Women has had ample invitations to return, nice to see The Worm back though.

Well, the new era appears to have been ushered in quietly. Where is that polar bear?

Hi all.

Unfortunately, my coronation as a moderator has taken a kick to the nads. However, this is merely a set back in my quest.

It seems that the RLfans elders preferred the two no shows, Anakin and Gavin. They didn't like my moderators manifesto, commenting that it was too bold & a sticky thread on RL in Greenland was too niche.

I had a number of hashtags ready for people to use to celebrate the rebirth of this board too. Such as #allaboardthebarnabus and #youcancountonbarnabusjustlikeanabacus. Wasted.
