      Best Time To Retire From A Forum.
      Aug 28, 2014 10:02:25 am
      I have been thinking of hanging my boots up for a while now but I am pretty close to some significant numbers for myself.
      On December the 9th I will have been a member of LFCREDS for 7 years,
      I have got just over 98 days logged in.=Target is 100 days.
      I have got 7650 posts=Target is 8000 posts.
      I have got 377 pluses=Target 400.
      Dilemma, do I wait for all the targets to be achieved or just sit back and watch the Mighty REDS go from strength to strength. :kop5cf8koxp6:

      I don't post that much but I go through each and every thread of this forum and I know that you have been supporting LFC since even before my Dad was born. It would be a sad day if/when you decide to no longer post in this forum.

      So the answer is NO. You need to keep going on and provide us with your valuable knowledge.

      We can't be losing posters like you mate, you and others make this place what it is!

      I know there's some bickering/trolls that are pulling the quality of threads down but use that ignore button. ;D What you should do is hit them targets and then smash em by going even further! :)

      I thought you are motivated by love to the club not personal stats  ;D  ;D

      Just joking, hope we will not be deprived of your posts.

      Hit those targets Billy then aim for some more.

      We'd miss you if you left here mate.

      Surely the choice is yours Billy?  I have almost twice your post count but not a tenth of your post quality! it's up to you mate but you'll be sorely missed if you retire.
      I miss the banter from 3-4 yrs ago but times move on and new members come and go, I spend a lot of time on here reading posts (some sh*t, some excellent !) but mostly find they're not worth replying to or are above my head.

      Either way Billy you can't go without a forum party !
      Edit:
      If you want some new targets Billy set them for your team, you can go when we win no.6 and no.19 now I know they can both be achieved within a year but I can always move the goalposts again !

      I normally retire after a glass or two of wine.


      No harm in a break either Billy.
      Take a breather, enjoy the season.

      I know where your coming from Billy I have been close a couple of times in the last year or so. So many new members seem to have different ideas and the bickering caused by just a handful really takes the joy away at times.
      Whatever you decide mate you will always be a RED YNWA.

      Only jesting Billy, you know that mate.
      Once a Red always a Red and from the chorus of replies here you also know you'd be missed if you did rest your keyboard.

      No more plusses for Billy....if he's going to quit at 400, we just can't take that risk.  :)

       ;D

      Come on Billy, as long as your heart still beating and your blood still RED

      Do you really think you can stop?

      Take a break, two or even three. Take your time, and you'll be back.  :aaliverpool2xt1: :kop5cf8koxp6: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

      Did it last season for a bit and just enjoyed the footie, without endlessly dissecting every decision Brendan made, chances we missed etc.

      Sometimes you need a break Billy ;)

      I've been on here for almost 5 years now Billy and in the past couple of them I haven't really been a regular per say, a lot of on and off time, more reading then posting but I don't think I could quit this place, the way I can't stop supporting LFC, it's just under my skin and that's because of people like you.

      It's deffo your decision, but I'm gonna echo others on here, it's gonna be a sad day for me and for the forum if and when you call it a day.

      To be honest Billy I don't think this forum can do without people like you on it. I really respect anyone who saw the great names of Liverpool play long before we became world famous. In fact I would say that respect for people like Billy is sadly lacking and shows a total lack of understanding about what this club is really about.We should hang on his every word.

      First off, thank you for all your kind words, they are greatly appreciated. I have decided to take Huyton Reds advice and have a rest for a while. For the time being I wish you all the very best and the sincere wish that Liverpool Football Club have a fantastic successful season.

      Billy, I'm stunned mate... been off the forum for a couple of days as I do every time I have a coupple of days off work ( that's my chance for a breather). To come back and see this has made me very sad. It's posters like your good self, that make me want to come back every time. I love your knowledge and I love your positivity. I hope you come back one day soon mate, coz the place won't be the same without you.

      Will send you a PM mate with my email address just so we can keep in contact.

      Cheers Brother.
