where have all the people gone? :o

I know it's summer but blimey, in crazy beeb heyupp days that deterred no-one roflmao

Hey Sam :hug:

I know, it has been quiet for weeks. :2quiet: I started posting on the BBC heyyup in the Summer holidays and it was dead busy back then. I think there were mor eposters but also more regular posters.

Surely maybe all those "regular" posters have overdosed on rennie...

Mayeb that took too much Senokot - I here that keeps you regular. ;)

maybe they need to take it - as owen from the vicar of dibley famously said when his cows had the squits: "It comes out faster than I can shovel it away" roflmao

Owen si halrious as is that show roflmao

It is very quiet on here these days, i don't think the new format of this site has helped-it's a bit over complicated and hard to see where the main discussions are at a glance. I know the layout has been running for sometime (not sure exactly how long) but i've never really found it as user friendly as it might be.

I know what you mean. Why not mention ti to trisco? He was aking for opinions on the layout and things recently. :)

Hey BT. SB is right, Trisco was asking people what sort of format they preferred - what do you think would work better? Any ideas welcome as we want to make sure the board is as the posters want it :D

Just to add to this, if you click on My Assistant you can see new topics and replies to your topics since your last visit. You can also see a list of the threads that have been active that day.

:) Oh I just wanted to mention this... if perhaps the theme of the site is also changed a bit faster after the major Tournies to reflect a more general Centre Court theme......

Some one who for example wants to join C.C might mistake it for a purely wimbledon site from the look.. So to be more pro active a faster theme change would be appropriate :) just a thought..

It has been quiet hasnt it? :huh:

To be fair, it's partly my fault as i havent been on very much :unsure:

It'll be picking up again soon DL don't worry. ;)

Ur right Suze re the theme, I am gonna hold out though as I will be bringing it all in line with the fanzine once done in a few weeks. One standard theme and not too much chopping and changing after Grand Slams etc. :ok:

I do have to jump to our defense here though and say I have seen a reasonable drop for other forums too. Not quite sure why? :blink:
Is there an internet revolution happening somewhere that we just don't know about?

or maybe people found theres life outside the internet... :lol:

i know i find it harder getting online these days because of one thing or another :)

but triscos right, ive seen other forums drop as well just recently...

You traitor you! roflmao I knew you coudl tno resist KoC! ;)

Heyyup BC :hug:

Yeah maybe the people who have stopped posting have got a life now! roflmao

I have a theory but nto sur eif it is right. It is based on a few assumptions, so go and disprove it! :D

Boards liek this oen and KoC were set up after a huge forum declined. A load of people were drawn together from a past board, and posted toether for a whioe. then soem drifted off, got bored or whatever, but getting new blood is really tricky becuase unlike the BBC this is not easy to find nor is it big enough to attract masses of folks. :shrug:

KOC! roflmao

I wouldnt let my dog go to that drag-fest of a board roflmao

roflmao What do you mean LET it? I'm sure it would refuse to go if you madee it! roflmao

Nail on the head I feel there SB but :pray: fingers crossed if I can pull of what I am working on.. it may just get a little busier soon. :D

The BBC theory is a good one SB - because that must get lots of passing trade as they have links to their boards in their general sports stuff...

the other thing is - and this may sound daft, but however much we moan about trolls and did lots of it back in the old beeb days, lots of people did enjoy proving what eejits the trolls were - look at the old beeb threads being dragged up - going to battle with SF used to be a daily thrill for some - and Dav and Sidney... I havent got to those yet but when I do.... I am sure we will fall about laughing! These types of boards dont have trolls on as a rule so the kind of threads that make us giggle then, dont occur now.

Hey BC :wave:

I reckon you are right here too, especially seeing as it is summer and we have had better weather recently, people will be making the most of it, plus people on Holiday etc.

Must toddle off myself again. Catch you all later :wave:

It may go there for a laugh or something roflmao

I hope so :D :ok:

In fact you can't find this place at all - even if you type th ename you cannto google it.

You're bang on, and I for one enjoyed havign a laugh at the troll's expense and i realyl do miss that. I know it might seem a wast efo time baut I use baords for recreation, and where else coudl you make up hilarious insults noen stop for free and without getting battered? roflmao

It might do if it has a poor sense of humour! roflmao Or to meet other dogs, like the one in charge! roflmao

if you type Centre Court in, it's on the second page of google......

its on the first page, right at the bottom when i type it in.

its first if you put centre court havoc though

i think we should all join random tennis forums and leave links to this one ;)

:lmaao: :lmaao: In my newbie days to find centre court I used to type

" Nick Havoc Superbrat Invision Tennis " those were the only names that used to bring up centre court... :lmaao:

Now , the question is why? :lmaao: SB care to enlighten me!! :lmaao:

Wierd. How long has it been there becuase I was away once and I googled it cos I did not have my pc link . I could not find it then. I asked George to do it in case I'd done something wrong, he had no success either.

God I have been trying for AGGGGGEEEESSS to get on the first page if you type centre court, looks like it's finally paid off! :yahoo:

Yes please... pop us in all your sigs on other forums. www.centrecourthavoc.com shameless plugs an all. :D Cheers BC :ok:

Wow surprised how popular this random thread of mine has been roflmao

I think with the design of the site, well, maybe, just maybe, less is more?

The beeb worked well at peak because it was so boring to look at and people had to look and dig for interesting threads. The fact it's so orderly has probably taken some spark away if i'm brutally honest. Also the design on the beeb was so boring that it forced people to use their imagination more (I certainly did, especially with what I could have done to Maria in 100 million song lyrics roflmao )!

What you googled and got moi? :o Never even realised I was that famous roflmao I am on google much to my dismay, but only under my real name.

Well yes that is true :) I think the board is very well organised and presented, but my problem is so many threads in sub forums and sub threads if you know what I mean. If i am to be brutally honest it is rather like having to search through files for that document you knwo is there somewhere, and that makes it feel less immediate. I did liek the fact that on the BBC you just had the threads up and you coudl see what was hto right away. A thread being near the top made people read it and post on it. The downside was though that there was no organisation and threads coudl just fade away. I also fidn myself forgettgin what threads I posted on here and then discovering them 2 weeks later, folk must think me ignorant for not replying! roflmao I knwo folk say use My Assistant but it doesn't really work for me and I stay logged on even if I am not on so I don't get a proper update. Oh and I keep findign threads i never knew existed when ti si too late. I seem to miss the 'live' convos then if you knwo waht I mean.

Btw this is no criticsm of the marvellous orgainsations kills of Trisco - please don\t think that. You do a fabulous job :clap: I don't knwo the answer either, I'm just saying what I think. I do find ti a bit mor eof a reader and bowser's board, rather than a chatter's \immediate" board but then we are all different. :)

this is spot on SB, what i was trying to say earlier, a bit complicated, i mentioned it to trisco
The graphics on CC are great though!

I found this site on the old 5 LIVE site, the day it closed-someone had left it in one of the very last posts!
