either I'm getting old or things have changed as I can't ever remember people being so bitter and twisted when I was younger, but it's like they see being cruel and others peoples misfortunes as a pleasurable pastime.
Have you ever seen daytime telly....?

For my sins, me. I thought the same as you - but now it is mostly utter tripe, but, I did help find a little lost dog through it & sometimes the info about what's happening in the local area is useful (if like me you're very nosey but don't know many people). I've just not been able to bring myself to get rid of it.

There are, I believe, several pages with similar names, as people keep restarting them in the hope that they will be useful - then the nutters invade...

I know what you mean it's like a morbid curiosity you think you've seen it all then another eye popping post appears.

Ssh, don't tell anyone but yes I do. I initially started following it with the thought that I would get to see what was happening in around stafford and its surrounding areas. So far all I've got to learn is that there are an awful lot of anonymous staffordians having relations with someone else's partner. There's lots of posts that go.something like 'VD is seeing STD behind HIV's back and I ain't joking' blah blah blah

I believe it's the worst kind of advert for the town. I am happy that I not only don't have these people in my circle of friends but my life doesn't encompass theirs.

It's purely x is having sex with y. Dreadful page.

Yes it would make you think twice if you were viewing it trying to get a feel for the area, but then again I love stafford have left a few times but always end up back here, however I'm sad to stay it has changed, people are changing they are more aggressive towards one another.

I am as guilty as anyone. Like a localised version of Jeremy Kyle I have a quick look. Feel dirty for it and then go look at something less aggressive.

Used read the posts, but it got so vile and nasty, that I got rid of it.
There's a Stafford Silver Surfers page on Facebook, not that I'm silver, but it's more interesting and friendly than current spotted Stafford.

Can't view either of those as I would need an account.

All the previous ones in this thread I could view without an account; but wish that I hadn't.

I'll stick with the forum, but will remember those Facebook pages and use them as perspective when someone new joins us here and starts complaining that we're crap, as in the painting thread.

The SS group is small, but public - the Riverside group is much larger, but closed, as a result of it being felt necessary to have some control*, I presume.

*Anybody that spotted the recent comment about the Chief Constable's letter box (still there on the old Register Office in Eastgate Street) will understand the requirement for some vetting....
