New forum Outlook
Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2025 11:33 pm
Now were back in the prem i think we need to be looking to upgrade the board. Try and get back some of the lost users plus getting new ones on board, I've a lot more time on my hands now I've been made retired thru ill health. It looks like i could be DirtyLeeds Mamf (if yer know yer know 
). It would have to be contribution based to help cover costs to a certain extent. I will still cover the shortfall and keep the site going. Domain name is paid up until sometime in 2029 so were ok for a few years yet. I want to introduce some security features into the site to make it more secure so that's more expense. Also all posters would be vetted by me when they want to sign up so we don't get the fucking Russian bollox like last time. lets have a big push once the updates are fulfilled and hopefully we can get some more traffic flowing thru here.
after a brief chat, I've hopefully got a good lad to come onboard, he already runs a long term football forum (20+ years, no he's not from waccoe
), similar size & scale to this, but his site works properly
Batley's guy has been been a fucking godsend and saved us from fizzling out, but he can only do so much with what little money we give him, and he does more work than we pay him for. Also our mate Batts has been thru the mill last couple of years and now is rebuilding his life, hes helped keep this site running more than you can imagine. I hope he will still hang about once the site updates. We are also almost out of disk space and have used just over 90% so need to act now before meltdown ensues and we lose the lot. The look i hope will stay the same. I will be going thru stuff and getting the costings together so then hopefully we can give it a go. We are not going to try to be rivalling any other sites. I just want to try & get this back to how it was 5/6 years ago.
Any recommendations would be appreciated
