Ideally the current forum can just be moved. That would be the most simple thing to do, however, I will happily create a platform for all the people that still want to keep a message board going. 3 minutes ago, scotsmanarizona said: I have made contact with admin, just waiting to hear back.

If I had any say in how this board had been run maybe it would not have posted a suicide note a few weeks ago... Did you have any say in how it was run. Yeah...

Haha, nope, as an TAMBER living in the states now, this has been a great resource to me over the years........as I am sure it has been for many. Fortunately, I have the ability to keep it going so it is a no-brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 My impression is scotsmanarizona is deadly serious but obviously with only a handful of posts a little due diligence would be required. The guy has his own server and knows the software, can transition the board in as little as 2 hours... Yes it could be ron taking the piss but I suspect not and definitely there should be no excuse to close this board until that offer has been taken. The people running this board are clearly pissed off at something but it is not yours to throw away, you are custodians of it and to announce its death in a closed thread is astonishing. Look at the response. The board has problems but is loved by many and many who are offering help. Where is the dialogue? The appeal for help before committing suicide? Ohhh I did not get that message, I did not see that post... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhh I did not get that message, I did not see that post... Not sure if due dilligence is required. If this is the last hope then so be it. What is the choice? If it is Ron, and I don't think so, I'll have him drummed out the masons before he can have his pinny dry cleaned. Sometimes people just want to help, let's take the offer for what it is and push forward. Maybe introducing GMC, Grumypy Auld Git, Scotsmanazizona and everyone else who wants to help is the right starting point for a team to make this happen. The clock is ticking ladies and gents.

Auld_Reekie Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 IMO, there should be a team of people taking it on. Handing it over to an individual or two risks same problems arising if/when they don't have time to give it attention it deserves. The more than just tech stuff that needs sorting out - moderation has been piss poor for ages and a fresh look at what can be done to make it better is needed. And even if it's transferred, how do we make sure it pays for itself? A group of people should be looking at this kind of stuff. Many hands make light work as they say.

exile Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Just catching up here, so can someone summarise, what are the options, what are the decisions, and what are the skills/roles/resources that people could volunteer to contribute?

Not a lot. I would also bet on this option. I suspect this fellow could sweep-up this whole mess quite quickly. I do not know the forum he mentions but he seems open about who he is! Wow.

jockodile Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Not really big enough an issue to get a friendly MSP to raise a question I suppose? If Arizona is legit then this should be seriously considered - it would be minor tragedy to lose this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we have someone who you could all identify if you really wanted to I guess... who can host the board and manage it... and is offering to do so. Has anyone any objections?

I re-posted your original announcement but you need to post it yourselves in an open thread and then reply to people! You seem to be making this very hard. You disallowed replies on your announcements and now you don't seem to be getting PM's... Coincidence? Used Fife Football Forums for several years and seemed pretty well run although the number of users that used that forum will be much less than on here. Giving the performance and technical problems this board has had over the years, it would be good if scotsmanarizona could outline his technical proposals, proposed costs and how he'll cover the expense, etc. If he's only one coming forward, then fair enough but if we're to clean the board up and have it running far better, would be good do at least some due diligence.

thplinth Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I am not confident we will get any where near the Nov 1 st shut down. I.e we will shut down much sooner. People need to be thinking about getting this shit sorted like now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
