WHO Fund management - Small changes afoot and some opinions/suggestions Required

Post **Moncurs Putting Iron** » 31 Aug 2023, 15:34

WHO Family, After 7 years of efficient and dedicated service, Charley would like to step down as the keeper of the funds. The suggestion is that we switch roles and I keep the funds but he provides the 'overwatch' to ensure I don’t do a Frankie Marathon flit with your hard earned. What will not change Flowers and Wreaths - Will continue WHO loans and purchases for those in need - Will continue with us both having to be in agreement before any money is releases. What we would like your opinion/Insight on How we receive funds Now: Go Fund me is an excellent, easily viewed, easily Escrow but each contribution they take a cost of 2.5% + 25p per transaction. Alternative: We publish account details and you pay the money directly in How we store the funds. Now: Pete uses an account in his name, I have an online savings account dormant and can use that as a clean space to easily show money in and money out, from where and current balance. Advantage low admin and will earn us some interest, disadvantage it is MY account and I can, at any time run off with your money. (But I will send Screen shots to Pete monthly and post on here quarterly. Alternative: Explore a joint access non-profit account set up in WHOS name. Advantage: Joint access and viewing more oversight and single points of abuse, Disadvantage: I suspect this will incur fees but will find out for sure. WHO Doomsday plan We know that there are discussions ongoing about the server and are both of the personal opinion that the fund could be used to update a site admin and give it a performance lift. If the opposite ever happens and the site collapses without trace, we will take the fund amount and equally divide between the Bobby Moore Fund and the "Dylan Tombides DT38" publishing out proof on our own social media and to those that now us.

I think if the keys have gone missing knowing this place you could probably get in by guessing in about five minutes. PASSWORD: PASSWORD? HAMMERS? HAMMERS80? cսnt? FOOTBALL? ADMIN NAME: ADMIN. You're in.

That all sounds good Moncur. Yes bin the go fund and set up what's easiest for you and Charley. Also do reports when you think its needed, every month sounds too much to me. Just do it like Charley was. Doomsday plan sounds perfect. The site is painful, but ok. As long as it keeps going it's ok for us. Just post if a few quid are needed and I'll bung a few in, but I' m not too interested in paying a subscription. Far too organised, it would be the death of WHO. I think you asked about helping people with loans. I say if it is not obvious to you and Charley to help, start asking other WHOers by WHO mail until you get a decision that your happy with.

Felching Fiddler. West Ham are 7-1 to score 4 or more goals tonight…..just saying.

I’d trust MPI completely and fully (unless it involves babysitting, the felching fiddler). I’ve no idea costs involved in getting the site sorted - I’d say just let it die, but I’d be worried Texas Iron would violate it. I mean I don’t particularly care, but surely before a decision on sorting site can only be made once someone comes up with a solution and prices it. But it would make sense to use the fund for this. I wouldn’t pay a subscription, too many twonks on here to have to pay to associate with them.

zebthecat 11:13 Thu Aug 31 "I was told the issue with site is that nobody knows the login credentials to the admin console.WIthout that nobody can do anything." I was under that assumption as well. Nothing can be done until Site Admin reappears.

Cant some of the fund go towards a more stable server and bringing the forum up to 21st century standards, don't need all the bells and whistles that some have and 100% don't need over moderating and all that nonsense. I know it nearly disappeared a few years ago when someone "lost the keys" but before it happens again, move it somewhere else that's more up to date. Maybe run 2 sites for a few months as the migration occurs and have a link and message on the old site so those not on the site on a regular basis can see it has moved.

MPI - Whomail sent

That all sounds very sensible MPI. I was told the issue with site is that nobody knows the login credentials to the admin console.WIthout that nobody can do anything.

I like a good lunch And I like MPI So MPI is clearly a good lunch, right?

Post **Vexed** » 31 Aug 2023, 21:54

Without doubt MPI possesses the cuntiness required to be the WHO accountant, probably wears a novelty tie and socks too, the lunch. Frankies marathon - did I miss this episode? What occurred?

I trust MPI, but I’m waiting to see what Kearley thinks about it.

Post **riosleftsock** » 31 Aug 2023, 21:06

I trust MPI with it, its not like any of us send life-changing sums to it that would tempt him to do an Arthur Fowler. Just use your savings account, makes sense.
