[NSC] Are we a cult?

[Raskolnikov]

So with the how social distancing/isolation thing going on, I thought I would introduce my missus to the world of NSC. I started off with some classics like the WHC and the 'Swansman vs Paul Barber' thread. After a while she said we were basically an online cult and Brighton is just as the superficial bait at the surface to get people hooked.

This got me wondering, with the amount of time some spend on here - and will be with coronavirus - does she have a point?

Small typo in the title! Once corrected - yes

Does that make [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] David Koresh?

I’m not sure there is a higher purpose to which we are all working though.
On the other hand we all do hand over vast sums of money to the spiritual leader (the Albion, not [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] ).

Swansman v Barber is a classic? Should've led with Fireman Dan.

Or 'Jamie', a very early example of social media power. Not necessarily for good of course.

Lots of positives on NSC and I have been able to give people some free professional advice via PMs about Asbestos Issues for example.

And there is Crodonilson's Most Famous Supporter feature, can't get that anywhere else on the internet!

You do realise that NSC is all in your imagination, it's not real FFS.....

I have been called that many times...oh it's CULT..I thought it was c**t..my old eyes aren't what they used to be!

I've always thought it was a care in the community scheme and all the other posters are actually 5 care professionals

Unless there were threads discussing all the soap operas on telly, my missus would not be anywhere near this place.

Jamie, end, in NSC Gold, but sadly watered down.

You should have " led " with the Ben's Grandad has passed away thread

I just think I enjoyed it really. I wasn't aware of this one - I will give it a butchers now..

 

[Perfidious Albion]

The word cult is often used in a very broad sense these days.. eg to describe a t v show with a particular loyal audience.....
But really cults are highly controlled groups with veneration to a leader , and they make it hard to leave..
so No... , we are just a group of fans fixed on The Albion , ....nothing else in common. It’s great ! A healthy distraction from the cares of life.

you can log out out any time you like

but you can never leave

Hotel NSC

It is the opposite of a cult, in fact, in that anyone who posts on here because they have an agenda eventually gets driven out, with the swiftness of the ejection proportional to the relentlessness of their pursuit of it.

 

[Medwayseagull]

It is an alternative to CBT.

I tell the missus its like mums.net for man things
