to my memory; in the mid to late 90s, two main greek football sites. greeksoccer and phantis. greeksoccer had many more members and the conversations got very nasty, some threats made. not really political arguments, but, big-time arguments with anti-osfp and osfp fans circling the wagons as corruption became clear. an old-west style website. anything and everything goes. phantis was much more reserved. at a personal level, i got sick of the nonsense on greeksoccer, so, i only posted on phantis.Originally posted by Brklyngrk View PostAgain I don't know the history of the other site. I believe everyone should be able to tell their point of view in a non-confrontational manner. It's up to the individual to either accept or not accept it. That's the beauty of these sites, different perspectives.
eventually, greeksoccer disappeared and phantis got a bump from former greeksoccer posters. as it turned out, political posts unsettled phantis and the run-up to and after trump's 2016 victory was too much for management. political posts started getting deleted and warnings given out. any post with any tinge of conservatism got deleted and we saw BLM and other liberal-based posts allowed and encouraged.
it was clear that the issue wasn't about politics, the issue was and is: does the poster post the 'CORRECT' politics??? as posters got banned and others got turned off by phantis, reaper started this website.
so, if you have a thought or comment, thank reaper for this website - a website that allows you to freely post.

So in the mid late 90's Laz and Kosmas created a greek football forum that, with the internet, set the greek soccer scene alight, mainly for the omogenis.Originally posted by aek66 View Post

In the mist of the craze and growing numbers, not so surprisingly now, Laz and Kosmas had a fall out, thats when it become gs. com and phantis
GS. Com had great success, but as you mention there were some crazy people on the forums who behind a keyboard became monsters. We went through years of clean up by having to ban these "monsters" who would ruin any great topic and initially it was from all clubs.
For many years gs. com was doing remarkably well, moderated well and even had tipping comps were members could win jerseys as I did in 2006. In all this time many unhealthy members were banned so we had many good members and the forums were a pleasure.
Around 2011/12 the forums were upgraded, Kosmas decided to make it a free for all back in... a move that would eventually kill the forum, many if not all the of the banned posters over the previous 10 years came back, it went well for about 2-3 months, but then become a OSFP cult vs the rest, even new (red) moderators that came in were subjective, as well as another guy that was part of the original group, it was a mess all round, on the forums and then trying to manage it, some good PAO posters have never been seen from the abuse they received duirng this period but especially after it when some messed up people would write the most disturbing things about them and me at times too.
I was reaching out to Kosmas as this was happening, no reply, when he did reply it was way too late and he simply decided it close the site.
It really was a fall of an empire imo simply cause it was managed so poorly and good guys were put in impossible situations with guys who had no business managing a site of its size and popularity.Last edited by Amorgos; 10-02-2020, 09:07 PM.

having said that, we did leave brothers behind.
before i left, i told banana's that i was leaving due to unacceptable censoring. who knows, maybe lazarus deleted that private message. i told him to come create an account here. if he did not get to read it, i hope he reads it here. he's a very nice guy.
i wonder if this whole rebellion is not from a spark i lit while i ran through the door.
what did bananas say anyhow?
as for PetitPoutsoPepe ...... sto mpoutso mou

However when I sent the message as join Hellas football.com, it automatically changed the text to Greeksoccer.com....then you get banned lolOriginally posted by Don Giovanni View PostIf you really want to get banned there, pm someone about this website.

, clicked on the link and had a flashback to the old GS forum, what a shitshow. Typical leftist dystopian behavior and gives a portents of things to come if, God forbid, the most powerful country in the world, elects a cognitively compromised man to the white house, with a bunch of Maoist extremists pulling his levers.
