      If you buy a Roosters membership, posting access is included.

      I don't mind it being members only but considering it is locked, there's no reason for NRM to be so heavy-handed.

        Which is pretty funny when you consider that the main names in the FOFF crew were members anyway!!

            I have a differant theory, some of the trolls were racist and most of the stuff slanderous.

            Also PIM the stalker, he was one very odd character who had major issues.

                      Actually "The Wall" became members only WELL Before the FOFF began.

                      If my memory serves me correctly, around 2003 the wall became members only, you had to buy a separate membership ontop of the Season ticket. made the place a ghost town.

                      That was about the time the first peoples wall and the Rugby league site (by melon) started.

                      the Wall was reopend to the public due to lack of subscribers, then the Bulldogs Coffs harbour scandal came about, there were ALOT of things said that were not proven or had basis, leaving the club open to slander claims if these were seen in public.

                      At that time, a second mod, blacksheep was added to the moderators group on the wall along with NRM. at the same time, if anyone made a post, it was first moderated by the mods in order to censor what was being writen, in some cases causing LONG delays in posts showing on threads.

                      Since that was not working and blacksheep being removed as a mod, the wall was converted to a members only, it was after that when the FOFF commenced.

                        I joined in 07 I think and it wasn't members only, nor was there any post delay. The place had morons like darque that brought all the Roosters fans together, good times...less infighting. Slightly.

                        It became members only again in late 07 or 08 iirc.

                          I'm paying to support the club, get season tickets, and a half decent hat...forum access is secondary.

                            Yeah you could be right about the dates, they have drifted from my memory, but the rest is pretty much spot on.

                              It became members only again in late 07 - I remember because I was pissed off that after throwing money at the Club for years I was locked out when I decided not to contribute to the Club's coffers whilst Willie Wanka was in residence.

                                Remember what it was like in 2000 and 2001? You didn't even need to bloody register! When you typed the post you just typed a name that you wanted the post to come under.

                                That was the days of Da Man's infamous trolling and all sorts of funny shit. Wish there was an archive.
