    Why is this site hated by so many R supporters

    So many fans iv talked to absolutely hate this site, obviously well known as "fantasy island" but every Irish R fan iv spoken to say they hate the site and most on it (prob including me) haven't a clue what their talking about, are they right ??

    Why would anyone HATE any messageaboard in the first place?
    Banning people is no longer my hobby,
    but take a look at my photo blog:

    How and why did I start supporting QPR in Estonia:

      It depends on what you want from a forum. If you want reasoned, objective debate I think it fair to say WATRB is perhaps not its natural home. On the other hand if you want heart on sleeve emotion and honesty you do get it.

        No sense of humor. No tolerance for different opinions. Don't get irony. Little Napoleons. Some racist. Some thick. Some with a superiority complex. Lots of reasons

          Attention seekers.
          "I could think of a number of what I think would be interesting (and not even "gotcha") questions. But they wont be asked"

          Fans forum ?

                That's what I am wondering! Hate is a strong emotion, I don't know how people could generalize about the many posters who contribute and have hatred towards the site!

                  I've seen some very harsh replies to pretty innocuous posts. That kind of thing can turn people off very quickly. Not much of it recently though, which is good.

                      Im only on here because I need a place to rant. My co-workers are still trying to grasp the difference between clubs and international. I blame American sports for calling NFL teams "World Champions" lol

                        I think when something needs to be debated seriously we do it as well as any other rangers forum difference here is we have some characters who like a joke and others struggle with the concept. Forums are taken way to seriously

                              The other forums are boring as fuk, I mean who actually wants to talk non stop about Rangers? I come here for a mix of banter about QPR, general football, aliens, UKIP, and microwaves. Would not change it for anything.
