Just had a look at it. man is it crap. Freediver, be proud of this very professional site, Be proud mate.
Cracker- since 1985 and still the same. ;D

It's crappola. Can't believe people actually still post there. Logging in is such a pain in the @ss.

hmm, do we really want to invite people from over there?

there are actually a few Cracker recruits in here Aus Nat...

And we are all very nice pple. :)

I agree with you about the  crappola factor..it can be a pain...

I think most must be afraid old freedivers gonna be biased or some krap like that. Or possibly that they're all very attached in there.

Wish my old mate beowulf would stroll on over. He's usually pretty knowledgable on most subjects. If you're reading this beo, MIGRATE NOW. The features on this site are SOOO much better. And I ain't never going back over there to tell you either.... I've wasted too many minutes of my life trying to log on for the LAST TIME.

Might be good to get old rightsaidfred over here as well.. the liberal fanatic.

And last but not least... betterredthandead... no forum is complete without a commie nutjob to prove wrong over and over again.  ;D

CALL TO-  BETTER RED THAN DEAD....

GET OVER HERE SO I CAN DECLARE WAR ON YOU.

They are all cool pple..more your serious political posters...but have a few surprises up theyre sleeve...I discovered quite recently beo is quite funny for instance.

I did a couple of posts there but then Freediver invited me over to this site.
Thanks mate.

the spam there drove me away mainly.
Just ruins the site

I think I have cracker to thank for the popularity of this site. If it wasn't so bad this forum would probably never have gotten off the ground.

We should invite sense over too. He thinks this site is a green/christian conspiracy. He started posting here as a guest but refused to log in. I had to disable guest posting and he didn't come back. I think pender was a bit the same but he made the switch.

Cracker is all about advertising.

Its not too concerned with its poster base., other wise it would be a good site.

Disabling the guest posting was a good thing to do, freediver. Seperates the 'pure' posters from the fakers. Don't get rid of it for some short-lived popularity increase. Slowly but surely they will join.


I can't imagine why people think this is a pro-Christian/greens site... given that two of the highest posters are mods and strong anti-greens/nationalists... plus a few being anti-religion.

Weird. Anyway.. take it as you will.

I think I speak on behalf of us all that we encourage freedom of debate and views here. -Nothing being sacred.

In fact... I want a bunch of socialists and communists to join this forum so I can argue with them.

well said.

I very rarely have trouble signing into Cracker - only if I type my details in too quickly.  If you go slowly and carefully it usually gets you in first time.

In defence of Cracker - I have been posting there for more than a year - it sometimes has some very interesting posters and views and the debates can get quite robust as long as you ignore the insults.

Ozpolitics of course has a more personal touch - and a wider range of subjects.

And DT -  beowulf probably misses you too - he is vilified by so many people because of his views and he hasn't got you to back him up anymore.  :(

Totally. The quality of postings and topics are very important.

Really? Well... I agree that it has a personal touch... but it seems that cracker has a pretty wide range of subjects too. People also tend to sway from politics talk on ozpolitic and tend to get ... 'too personal.'

I feel sorry for him.  :(

He doesn't realise how much greener it is on the other side. I guess he continues to post there becasue the forum always have new posters coming in... due to fairfaxes reach and advertisments. But I'm a feature man... and love sticking things in bold... etc. Beo is just there for the debate... which is good also.

Ive put an ad out for ozpolitic.  Ive baited the lefties. :o

I dont really have trouble signing in either...occasionally..but nout to worry about.

Funny that Beo hasnt come across..I think he loves Cracker though, his stomping ground..I mean who else can head up a topic with 'LOL....'?He owns the place.

He may get a bit of a hard time..but he gives as good as he gets..he thrives on it :)

He posts in Debateand Relate as well as do I..(rarely)..so he has strayed outside Cracker...

This site is well run so we dont get too much rubbish from troublemakers. :-/

Come to think of it, i got on real easy too.

i came from cracker, i have never been back there either.

Maybe you should.

I haven't had a problem logging into cracker...although I have only been there twice coz it's full of leftist whiners, xenophobes and spam. It's interesting but a little like watching slightly retarded monkeys in a crappy cage.

The monkeys here have a better cage.

Hmm... I don't know whether to agree with you or be insulted.  :P

:D

We are monkeys.... just another species of them. I dont doubt evolution.

I had another look,..... Man mozzoak is thick!
