Yes.

I believe if you want a good forum you have to put effort into having things for people to read and comment on. For instance your BEL's draw in a huge audience, Karly's Radio Nuts has a loyal following and Bob's Vince Watch might not be everyone's cup of tea but it certainly is the butt of many jokes - all three in their own way benefit the site.

You have said this twice now and I'm a little confused by it.
The restrictions the BEN have put in place on the website affect us all. Whether we live in Bolton or as far as China.
I can understand why they have done this due to the loss of revenue last year when the lockdown started and not being able to sell the printed newspapers in newsagents due to them being closed.
There is another way of getting around these would be to use the built in privacy mode that's built in to most web browsers every time you wish to access it which will allow you to view the 20 articles every time you load this up.
This way is an easier alternative if you don't feel comfortable deleting the relevant cookies on a regular basis.

I probably didn't make myself clear. I don't have a problem with "news" being in the News section, what I think detracts from the site is the amount of "news" that appears in the Bolton Wanderers Banter section.
For example, as I'm looking at the list of threads in the Banter section right now, over half have no replies. What do they all have in common? All taken from the BN. They're not "banter". And they're clearly not encouraging people to post. Yes, people may read them, but they'd still read them in the News section.
All these "news" items pushes genuine original threads off the first page, and all these zero-replies-threads give the impression the site is quieter than it actually is. Someone coming to the site for the first time might think this is just the BN in a different format.
If it puts me off starting a thread, it will do the same to others.
This is no way a dig at KP, I think he does a great job in the copy & paste department. I have nominated him for an MBE in the new year honours list, his dedication to cut & pasting is inspiring.
Totally agree. It's one thing to try to make the site look busy (which clearly doesn't have any effect - perhaps because zero replies indicates the opposite) but in posting news items on the chat area just makes it more difficult and occasionally annoying for those who do post.Natasha Whittam wrote:
