FollowFollow is the 3rd Biggest Fan Forum in the UK

[Corporal Clegg]

I don't know what the breakdown of forum members ages are, but I'd guess that the majority of people using forums are probably in their mid 20s upwards. I think forums/messageboards as a platform for discussion have had their peak and are now on a decline, and that most of our younger supporters will be using other 'slicker' platforms like twitter, facebook etc.

 

[RabSpackman]

Always strikes me how quiet other teams forums are compared to on here which has different threads going on every time you log on.

To be honest, the pace on here is pedestrian compared to around 2003-2007 when the numbers of concurrent logins, the number of threads started and the speed at which a thread would disappear in to Page 2 were something else.

Twitter and Facebook probably taken a bit of the traffic away. Back in the old days of this forum and further back to TheRangersEnd and other email-based forums there was no letup at all.

It's about 10 years older on average than the other social media outlets.

But we also allowed sexpesting in the Bear Pit in those days

Mostly because we can't figure out how Twitter works!

 

[coplandrearl36]

I’m think the recent Aribo threads alone would probably make the top 20

That’s why Charlton are at 20.

 

[B10P]

OP, any stats on how many hits we are behind the top 2?

Here are the top 5 forums based with their ranking across all sites in the UK (sites like Google.co.uk, Facebook.com, BBC.co.uk will be the ones in the highest positions):

903rd most popular site in the UK: Liverpool | liverpoolfc.com
1,145th most popular site in the UK: Man Utd | redcafe.net
2,716th most popular site in the UK: Rangers | followfollow.com
4,164th most popular site in the UK: West Ham | kumb.com
4,220th most popular site in the UK: Celtic | kerrydalestreet.co.uk

As they say... standards have slipped!

 

[Graemelins]

Historically, Alexa data can traditionally be skewed as it is a South African based company.

How much dough are you making chief?!

 

[GimmeShelter]

Had a look at all they forums and a good few are TapaTalk compatible and have the option of a dark theme

I can but dream

 

[nybear]

Liverpool have 3 entries in the top 20

First one is the official home page

 

[KuwaitBear]

This is a Rangers fans forum? I'm only here for the deviant threads and big Jesy pictures.

 

[Square Deal Sam]

There is plenty of decent posters in there as well,I am not registered but go on there to have a look sometimes.

That forum's an embarrassment to Rangers.

 

[Rathcoole Ranger]

There's some good Bears on Rangers Media, and they do a lot for the Erskine Veterans too.

 

[thornhill bear]

Maybe we should try to get kerryfail higher than the orcs forum

 

[5*RFC]

Surprised that some of those entries are bigger than Rangers Media. I don’t post on there but occasionally read it and it’s certainly busy.

Rangers Media isn't a forum - it's a gang hut.

It means their admins have allowed a handful of cranks to dominate discussions and destroy it as a vehicle for rational discussion.

Agreed it's a toilet of a forum.

Only decent poster is sweettartangirl.

A member called born a blue nose posted a pic of himself with a green dildo up his arse in the OT last time i was on. Strange bunch.

Not one of our @Borna Blue Nose or @bornabluenose surely?

 

[5*RFC]

I'm afraid it's true mate. The stuff that goes on in the OT is enough to make even a crime scene clean-up person boak.

 

[5*RFC]

Nah haha it's a guy that looks like a real life Zangief from street fighter.

 

[subversive_bear]

I would be curious to know the average age of people using forums these days. I would expect it to be mid-30s.

None of that is true, If you dislike it so much why do you keep re-registering under different names when you are banned?

 

[Unicorn]

Surprised Jambos kickback isn’t top 20 as that seems quite busy.

 

[5*RFC]

I dispute this claim.

Wtf do you need to do to get banned from there

 

[TheSpark]

Lol, ask him ^^ he is an expert

 

[nithbear]

I bought FF printed version from issue 1;along with a couple of other long since lapsed printed zines; but joined the online FF back around 2010,probably as an extension of what I`d been used to.
As other posters have pointed out,there`s a sense of belonging;being amongst your own people;
and it is the first port of call for me in what is happening with our club.
Pleased to see the site ranked so highly. And it`s boiling the mentally challengeds` piss.
Long may that continue. WATP

 

[bornabluenose]

Not one of our @Borna Blue Nose or @bornabluenose surely?

Certainly fucking not ,mine's pink

Not for long if you’re sticking up your arse. Allegedly.

[Superrangers]

Liverpool and Man Utd each with 2 in the top 10!

Tells its own story.

 

[TheSpark]

Surely no?

Only in someone’s imagination on here

 

[Belvedre]

Ya this seems wrong. Liverpool’s subreddit has 170,000 members. That is obviously more than Hibsnet

 

[Belvedre]

Imagine if they ever did a “most talked about team” across all forums. We’d probably be more than the next 9 teams put together! Kerryfailstreet or whatever it is probably discussed us more than them

And Celtic would be number 2 due to all the stupid posts on here. Really wish there was just a mega thread

 

[mark hateley]

Thanks to poet posters and snoopers it probably added a few thousand onto it.

 

[B10P]

Surprised Jambos kickback isn’t top 20 as that seems quite busy.

It was in position 21, so just missed out on being listed.

 

[Blues and Royals]

That list is as about real as Celtic apologising tor anything.
Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wed attracting more posts than Man City and Everton ?
The biggest omission is Arsenal. If we are to believe all this, Charlton Athletic attract more traffic than Arsenal ? Yeah right, of course they do.......

 

[1690]

Was just wondering recently where FF ranks, it really is amazing that you can come on 10+ times a day and find half a dozen new threads and stories to discuss every time. Doesn't surprise me at all that we're 3rd. The vast majority of football fan forums look fucking dire.

It’s simple really if you read the thread. Arsenal have 4 forums all well represented. Similarly Newcastle, who have 3 heavily used forums.

Banned till fųcking 2038 no less!

 

[Brick_Top]

3 biggest clubs in the country make the top 3.

 

[tottie beck]

Genuinely surprised its not Number 1

 

[1690]

Banned till fųcking 2038 no less!

You can get back on in time for #GoingFor75

 

[bulldozer]

this forum is good but I personally prefer rangers media

 

[Surreychap]

The Carlisle forum on Rivals.net was good as well back then.

Loved going on there back in the day.
Some of the funniest threads I've read over the years were on there.

 

[dcbear]

4. West Ham | kumb.com

If anybody else was wondering, it stands for Knees Up Mother Brown.

 

[5*RFC]

None of that is true.

I seriously hope you are kidding. Surely you know the pure cancer BABN posts?

Do you dispute he once visited a one eyed RM posters house and posted a pic of him wearing the guys young sons pants on his head?

The pics will still be on there. It's 100% fact.

The other guy (the dad) as you well know was party to that joke. BABN is a gem of a guy, but obviously you’re upset with him for something. Come on, it’s not fair to slag someone on a different forum 5*

At the end of the day he's a Rangers fan and that's all that matters. No amount of shite online banter will change that.

The mad basturt will be comatose come 55!
