capricorn1 17 Posted December 30, 2014 Does anybody remember a rumour of the forum software being upgraded?Seems the upgrade has gone missing in action :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,497 Posted December 30, 2014 Oh yeah, they mentioned it when they were losing numbers to Norwich Talk.Now that things have settled on that they''ve clearly put it on the back burner. An individual member of an IT Team with a Developer background could have upgraded this forum by now, if they were put specifically on the task. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted December 30, 2014 Archant has the same dilemma as the Norwich City Board of Directors:The current incumbent is just about doing alright despite some clear limitations, and the required investment of time and effort to find a potential replacement, with no guarantee of compatibility with the existing setup or a resulting improvement in performance, means we''ll be struggling along for a little while longer.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted December 30, 2014 I am going to speculate about what may well have happened here.1. We know that NCFC and Archant are "cosy".2. We know Archant values the significant revenue generated from this forum.3. we know traffic on this forum is significantly higher when Norwich are underachieving against general expectations, and peaks when NCFC loses a match.therefore...I put it to you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that Bowkett and McNally demanded that Stephan Phillips sweet-talks the well meaning but naive Majority Shareholders (They who must not be named) into keeping Adams on as manager, KNOWING we would go on a dreadful run, and thereby maintaining or boosting Internet traffic and advertising revenue which justifies the lack of upgrade to this forum.It could just be me, but isn''t it all too obvious?

It is more plausible and with a greater factual basis (ie some) than many a theory here, probably including some I have proposed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted December 31, 2014 I''m working on a novel about this, and I don''t want to brag about it, but it will make the Da Vinci Code look like a badly written and error strewn novel full of plot holes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
