Thanks for the update Rich

Happy to go with the flow then re a new board.

Thanks to the person concerned.

Hopefully it will be the 'end of an error message' and not just an end of an era!

A very big thank you to that person.

Have we had any luck with contact from a tech savvy individual yet,as this seems to be the area we are having the problem finding someone rather than the funding?

I see the Eastleigh Fan's Forum use a Proboard and that it's adapted for footy discussion only. Is this the way we want to go?

If only we had a low cost, low maintenance solution that could be activated at the drop of a hat.

Course you do pro-boards, unless it has a limit on amount of users cant see what the issue would be

All this has gone very quiet since the good news on funding was announced. Has this issue now been resolved?

I think it’s a case of waiting for someone to step up and set it all up and administer it all.

I kind of promoted that idea a few pages ago by setting up a test message board, just to show what could be done in a short space of time but it was mainly met with indifference as I think most preferred a more complex solution.

It would be nice if we could have an update to establish if anything is going on behind the scenes and of course what the timescales are because initially it sounded quite a pressing issue.

Edit: Perhaps it's not anymore as someone has stepped forward to fund it.

Yea, I noticed someone stepped up with the funds but I’m yet to see anyone come forward to administer it now Rich is hanging up his gloves.

The update

As it stands we could continue as is with the fundingin place but this board version is in much need of some TLC / upgrade which due to various reasons i dont have the time to do currently

The CFSS as an entity no longer exists so who actually owns this im more of a caretaker so i new domain name would be good

I personally think a new start would be best and that needs to be up and running by June with a new andn perhaps some old names running it

Would it be worth asking Dave Allen to finance it and Ashley Carson to administer it?

Personally I am only concerned that the Spireite Debate section continues,plus I would like to see the 'In Memorium' included so that we can pay respects to fellow Spireites,after the years of suffering we all deserve that. :rolleyes:

What a hypocrite - you are always on that section posting stuff. Although I post on that section I have to take prolonged holidays from it so personally I’m ambivalent about it but I think the danger of not having it is that the political stuff will spread to the main board

It needs moderated so I would say if the moderators want to moderate that section on a forum that works properly let them, otherwise don’t have that section.

Agree with this, maybe 1 or mods dedicated to that section alone .. ?
Might help 🤔

Yes, I am a hypocrite, I admit that I do post on there, "always posting stuff" is a bit of a stretch though. I also take holidays from it, just like you.

I dont think its relevent on a messageboard dedicated to a football club. There are hundreds of "political" forums on the web, all there for people to use to their hearts content and lets be honest, the personnel section on this messageboard is more like a political section. Its a political soapbox for a number of people.

Why would it spread to the main board if we didn't have it? Do you think people are not capable of restraint.

Maybe do a democratic poll asking if people want a politics section or not and go with that?
