lake district canary 4,531 Posted July 28, 2021 This is still a great place to discuss NCFC stuff. Very little real abuse, just the usual spats and arguments which are sometimes irritating, sometimes entertaining too - and a forum that has people in it from all over the world. So it is still the main forum and better and more inclusive than the rest. With Facebook and twitter, it is difficult to sift through the rubbish to find something sensible, WOTB is not a great format to use imo, NorwichTalk could have been good, but stifles emotion and argument too much. Difficult to get the right balance for any forum, but this one has a real community spirit at it's heart, which compliments the community aspect of the club. A good place to talk about the club, make new friends and as we have seen with dear old Lapps, comes together in adversity and shows what a real community is all about. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good place to talk about the club, make new friends and as we have seen with dear old Lapps, comes together in adversity and shows what a real community is all about. Absolutely, well said LDC. All forums have their characters, good and bad, but we all have one common interest, our club. The comments for Lapps are just a small example of the togetherness this board brings, and long may that continue. No need to go anywhere else for your fix, the fact that so many people have been impacted by the forums issues recently shows how many visit here, and miss being able to post when they wish. Hopefully the dudes at Archant will see how valuable this forum is, not just the clicks / adverts and do the necessary to improve its stability moving forward. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted August 7, 2021 I don't believe any explanation or solution was offered last time it went down? It'd certainly be appreciated if Archant could at least tell us whether or not they intend to fix it. If they have no intention of fixing it, we may have to find a new forum.

I'm assuming with so much traffic on here they need new software which costs money, doubt a messageboard is a priority for them with the pressures they are under, plus Pete looks after this in his spare time & is reliant on his tech guys.

Seems it needs to have someone in the office who keeps it maintained every day, then it gets to the weekend and that person isn't in the office to do it. It's getting very frustrating now as weekends is when we need it most! Needs sorting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have thought this forum generates more clicks (and thus more ad revenue) than the majority of Archant's sites. If I were them I'd be looking to consolidate any existing sources of revenue rather than letting them suffer. Given the parlous state of Archant after its takeover by a private equity firm, it'd probably be worth considering a contingency plan in case this community does one day disappear overnight. Archant has built and invested in this community for nearly 20 years, so I think we could at least expect a bit of honesty about where we're at. It'd be awful if the plug got pulled without us having any chance to come up with a contingency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
