I think that discussion forums are fantastic when teams are doing well but when they aren't, like our Cats now, well maybe they should be ditched, just too much negativity on them, rightly or wrongly whatever but negativity nonetheless which does bug me and I find myself getting caught up in it. But it's like a drug and you have to read it even though you really don't want to.
Can you imagine a discussion forum for teams like the Chicago Cubs, perennial losers decade after decade at one time. Now that would be some forum to read.
