Is WATRB really a lowbrow forum?

[Stanley]

Oi, I'm a Guardian reader, but I like this site! I read the Guardian not because I want it to tell me how to think, but because just because occasionally, it posts articles with a far deeper analysis than the drivel you get in most of the rest of the mainstream media. I would class myself as a free thinker - i.e I'm open to all views, because I think everyone has a point of view worth listening to, even if they are rabid right wing t-wats..

But what I like most about this site is that it's unpretentious, and expresses more of the working man's (and woman's? Do we ever get any women on here? Is Shania a woman? I don't know! ) point of view than not just other QPR sites, but social and media sites in general. Having said that, I think it has a fantastic demographic, with opinions from across the spectrum. Some of the debates we have had in the Off Topic section have been excellent.

Plus, it's quite funny on here..

Well expressed Hubble and I fully agree.

You were one of the posters I was hoping/waiting to chime in to back-up my case, so thanks for that.

This sights like a pack of Pringles - once you start you just can't stop!!

Never even looked at another forum let alone post on another one!

Not even that side project of mine,
the Alternative Uses for Industrial Lubricants?
You must have looked at least once.

Ps, it's quite funny on here..

Yes, I am. But I sometimes wonder myself; reaching 13000 posts on this forum. Crazy! Ps.This forum is very good.

What what what!! So many on here love themselves. oh I'm a guardian reader so I'm obviously more intelligent than you !! Up ones jacksie springs to mind!!

I only come here from time to time, so my judgement might be limited, but from I see, many of the posters on this site seem to be the type who think

1) not being able to call someone a fa*got means there is no freedom of speech in this country any more
2) muslims want to ban christmas and force halal meat down everyone's throats
3) they're not racist because they have a black friend
4) all problems are ultimately because of immigrants
5) if they can't do their hate speech, it's because it is "political correctness gone mad"

But I still think it's usually a fun site to come to, as it has a community atmosphere

But for all their faults you can still forgive them because we're all QPR, right Van?

Is that one of the new emoticons, Stan? An image signifying a state of mind, representing an emotion or suggesting a feeling without words? Lowbrow, my a rse......

Good post, I agree with all 5 points.

Yes it's one of several great ones we're hoping to introduce shortly '77. The challenge now is for the mods and posters to persuade MYU to make it happen in our continuing strive to quash this mistakenly lowbrow image.

I think the majority on here are "sun" readers not that is right or wrong, this site is the least clique-iest?!?! Of all the Rangers websites. I like Loft for Words for the reports/previews as Clive is a great writer, I enjoy posting on here and feel it is the forum that typifies the cross section of our support.

[wortonranger]

surely we're all from the top draw of society -we are the Rangers boys after all?
I like to think this is a reasonably liberal forum (compared with what one might expect from certain other clubs based in the capital) and that one wont be exposed to frankly insulting stuff too often.
I too think its ridiculous to have factions based on message boards and will look at any for some amusement -though only making my fairly rare contributions on here. Personally I enjoy most of Clive's stuff on LFW so do check that out on a regular basis.
