I have every sympathy for those who posted there and lost pics will always touch a nerve but every pic would have to have been uploaded from an original which should be available on a pic hosting site or am I mistaken. I was without DATM for a while recently and missed it more than I should, but I put that down to being overseas and this being one of only a few places to talk all things Town But 3 years after the event this seems to be some sort of Lynch mob mentality. Is there a need for naming and shaming? All of which will probably lead to accusations, recriminations and a bad taste all round. But I guess some people will always want their pound of flesh. All this talk about the pikey Sambuca bar is over my head but I am enjoying watching it unfold it's a bit like a shakespearean play I am just waiting for the alas poor I knew him

I'd rather see them shamed and then named.
All this name and shame stuff is sooo passé.

What goes around comes around, never read the original unfortunately and sounds like a real shame.

Why name and shame? It's a bit sad to be honest. The nonsense board was deleted yet those who participated on that have no need to drag it up years later. So you're OK with admin deleting/amending whatever they like without prior knowledge, consent or even a vote?

The poster thinks 10 grand is not excessive to kit out an amateur football team so pinch of salt when it comes to his opinions and all that. Of course the admin was in the wrong and of course it's pissed folk off. Shouldn't even be brought into question. Get it off yer chest I say, the only things that should be bottled up are fine ales and lube.

I'm equally against dragging someones name through the mud on the basis of 'someone told me this' about something that happened three years ago.

Although I only browsed the bar pages. And I was both distressed and alarmed by the nature of the conversations. It is clear by the fact this thread is up to 3 pages long that you old boys need somewhere to reminisce. So I say bring back the bar.

How about discovering people taking the piss out of something they were privy to knowing that it upset a lot of people?

No names have been dragged thru' the mud...and the ones that will be are those that contributed to the bollocks of deleting/amaending threads/profiles and posts for no apparent reason apart from the fact that they had the option to do so...YOU don't!! But as a matter of interest what is the time span as far as you're concerned before the facts be known...For me it's when the facts become known...It's not what i've been told, i have a screen shot of the conversation...If this is not that important to you then why are you posting on the thread....and if it is then keep you're powder dry kid.

I ain't much of a techie but can't you just set up a new separate website called Pikey Sambuca. Just a thought like. I'm sure a tekky could sort that no problem...and there is a Pikey Sambuca Bar sub board on here that was set up a month or so after the original was deleted albeit minus the fixtures & fittings.....But that's not really the point mate. I get your point scoffa. It ain't right that someone should just be able to delete a sub board full of memories and I agree.

OK, Don't know about the rest of you guys on here and i've been registered for nearly 6 years on DATM now but i wasn't aware until a couple of days ago that there was a parody forum called DWTM....downwiththemac....... It's a forum that was set up as invite only by ex admins for more....Let's say "open and frank debate" without being too PC about what or whom you wish to talk about...I've had a PM from one of the 2 posters from downwiththemac that i mentioned in the opening thread detailing the innocence of the remarks made...fair enough mate and i appreciate your response...albeit the facts of what happened are still the same...The person that egged on Terry (ex admin) to delete the Pikey Board is ex admin Lindley Terrier.... a manufacturer of all things anti this/that & the other as he finds it easier to burn things down than spending hard work, time and effort in building things for the better...The person that deleted it (Terry) is Luke...not got his surname but tweets as @huddersluke...Personally i think it's a right fcuking shame...and if it was an accident that the fantastically interesting & almost footy poetic Pikey Sambuca Bar Board was deleted as was alluded to in the PM i was sent then why didn't the admin at the time put their hands up and say sorry....we fcuked up!!!...It would have saved a whole lot of mud slinging and fall outs at that time..I don't know about the rest of this forum but if you take on the job of looking after the forum as an admin then it should be done responsibly with the welfare of ALL users as the primary concern ....Any way fcuk it...It's done now, and for all you existing and ex Pikeys out there and those that gave a fcuk at least we know for sure now what actually happened at PIKEYGATE...which i now officially rename ADMINGATE!!....Hope that's good enough for you boys n girls....Finally time to draw a line behind the whole damn thing.

I can assure all posters that the current Admins do act responsibly and with the best interests of DATM at heart
Yes some times we may piss posters off but this is in no means personal
I like to think we run a fair , open and honest forum where we try not to be heavy handed and let the forum flow as much as possible.

downatthemac.proboards.com/thread/60977/away-days?page=6Im pretty sure we knew it was Terry (luke) 3 years ago didnt we scoff? The pikeys just refused to believe he was a real person. A lot of the admins at the time apologised (terry didnt which didnt help!) . I'm just glad I wasnt in charge when it happened..

Good to finally find out more about this Scoff even if the full story will likely be never known! The old away days board and pikey sambuca bar thread were the best things about DATM! A lot of posters including myself have disappeared from DATM or the very least less prolific since this happened! That old board made away days more than just a trip and one day of fun! There was the build up in the weeks and days before then the reports, photos, discussion and filling in the gaps in the days that followed!! The virtual pikey sambuca bar was probably the best bar in the world!! I spent many a late Friday night in there with the beers and karaoke!! I would like to finish this post by raising a glass to the old pikey sambuca bar and the late great fitzy blue!!
