Huge thanks to you guys for hosting and moderating those Politics threads over the years. I have found them really useful, particularly over Covid, but so often certain threads would just degenerate into snide remarks and playing the man not the ball, so must have been a nightmare to stay on top of.

Agree on the quality of the sports forum, the analysis here has always been a lot better than the mainstream sports media (low bar I know), but there's a lot of daylight between the two now. Also the separate forum for match threads has been a big success too.

Thanks for your efforts and understand

I learned a lot about economics from the UK Politics thread

[canefan]

It formed a valuable part of the Fern for a while, but I hadn't crossed there for some time. Like Jaffas, I guess all good things come to an end

A shame Rachel from accounts didn’t visit the forum.

Mods: last dig, hope it’s allowed but if not, quite understand 😀

Sorry to be pedantic, but that's JAFAs

Just Reddit?

There's more serious analysis on here than any of the MSM. @Mauss and co. are light-years ahead.

[Victor Meldrew]

@Duluth

Thanks for the mod efforts. Appreciated.

As @MiketheSnow has said, an Economics thread could be good. Plenty of good discussions around that and investing in the past

Just to add to Duluth's post, I think the Politics threads were the most useful during the Covid lockdowns to allow people to let off steam.

The title of the first Covid thread -"This Coronavirus thing - should we be worried?" - was a classic of understatement.

Who is this co you speak of?

[sparky]

@Victor-Meldrew I learned more about the early stages of the Covid virus crisis from here than from anywhere else.

Impossible.

@Bones

I was being semi-serious. Some of your pithy analysis is right on the nail

I was going to fix it but that seems apt

There’s other rugby forums out there? Well I never….

@Duluth @Kirwan huge effort keeping this institution alive over 20+ years and evolving.

[JayCee]

Cheers team for keeping this forum alive.

Thanks to you all - it is my secret sauce to sound the most knowledgeable at the pub when talking rugby. Yes. The bar is low.

[Smuts]

Thanks to @Kirwan, @Duluth and anyone else who have kept the Fern the best place to be wrong about rugby online.

The rest of you free riders can all get stuffed.
