Little or no success.
You only have to look at how many guests are here during the darts, but never post.
I guess something about the place is off putting to "outsiders"
Fair enough.

As I have said elsewhere, I will be a regular on both forums. It's a shame that there's been a split, but hey ho, life moves on.
It seems almost compulsory for darts forums to fragment.
Much like darts itself.
This one came into being from df.

Theres a certain symmetry to it.

Guess it would be rather repetitive and tedious if I wrote that it probably has something to do with the excessive banning, so I'll refrain.
Dice banned Gaz but let's not allow facts to get in the way of a good whinge

I said I'll refrain, so why bother to respond. Or is it a cunning ploy to boost the post count?

I'm curious as to what "Excessive Banning" relates to or actually means in this context but hey ho, you can refrain

In this case probably a euphemism for "cunt".

Just guessing here, of course.

Educated guess.

All the Matchplay is available on Sky now, probably why the PDC can't stream it
That may be for UK, but rest of world subscribers should have access.

NZ/AUS events are live for all subscribers I think.

I was referring to the fact that Live PDC does not offer full game replays even for non-UK subscribers. The World Matchplay final has 9:48 of highlights, and there isn't a dart thrown until 4:30. They show the walk-ons in full.

Still only German commentary games of this on YouTube.
This may suit Gaz but not me.
Have sky stopped UK uploads?
Was going to watch the Taylor/mvg game again.

Interesting reading the last page, the questioning why new members aren't attracted from years ago, still relevant now? I mean the answer is glaringly obvious yet still not been addressed and i still notice a huge number of guests reading during big events..

Here we are years on and still the same applies, one of the biggest flaws in the PDC machine in my eyes.
