West Ham Online

"A well known regular WHOer messaged me yesterday to ask if WHO had finally ceased to exist cos he's been unable to connect to it, and only got ""oops, we are unable to find that site"" etc. I told him it was working for me. This morning he sent me this: Tried connecting via Firefox & Edge on PC and Safari on IPad and continue to get a message stating the server can’t be found. Can you ask Admin if they have any ideas please? He's been around long enough to know to try wiping his knob on the screen, so I assume he's already done that."

"Having said a few days ago that I didn't have a problem I am now getting the same as Trundle almost every time. The only reliable way to get in seems to be via Google and the login page, which is a pain in the arse. Anyone got any idea what the cause is?"

"Niblets 1:43 Thu Oct 26 Re: Admin assistance required please Mr Anon 9:08 Wed Oct 25 How fucked is your life to get so upset about it? How am I upset? Perplexed maybe, slightly worried for your Wellbeing maybe? Do you force yourself to eat food you hate? Sit through hours of TV you despise?"

Capitol has managed to give WHO his AIDS

"I've sent a couple of whomails to Anxiousdave, not sure if he's either too anxious to open them or just ignoring me."

"I've got the opposite, and when I use my computer I get a CloudFlare dns error."

"I get the opposite of Trundle, i can't access the site via wifi but can with mobile data"

I get an error message whenever I try to connect to the site using a mobile signal. It works fine for me when I connect via WiFi. I'm getting: This site can't be reached Check if there is a typo in www.westhamonline.net. DNS_PROBE_FNISHED_NXDOMAIN

Mr Anon 9:08 Wed Oct 25 How fucked is your life to get so upset about it?

I'm all for the setting up of a new site (and the inevitable bitching about who is in charge) but we need to ensure that as the users port across there's no hijacking of existing user names. I'm assuming mods have access to the email address attached to the username so all the existing users could potentially be loaded into a new website with password resets going to the email address held in the database (assuming they can be extracted all at once) Personally I don't think the content of the site would bother the hosting companes too much

"Phall Throw+ Niblets, how fucked must your lives be to actively view and post on a site you want closed down."

Coffee 8:30 Wed Oct 25 I'd happily help fund such a transition as would a fair number of others I imagine. Is there a mass Whomail function?

"One of the issues to consider is whether a host will take this site on, given it's liberal, non-woke, traditional Estuary English content. I'm all for the setting up of a new site (and the inevitable bitching about who is in charge) but we need to ensure that as the users port across there's no hijacking of existing user names. *switches on WHO PA system* ""Testing...testing...one, two...one, two...Is there a clever person in the house?"""

"Yes, definitely the speed/performance. Everything else is fine, including the WHO Icons"

"For me, the solution is to set up a new address. It's happened before - the move from .com to .net. Keep it in North Bank's hands, get everyone to make a donation to fund the start of the new site, and keep that wanker who's supposed to look after the technical side of things out of it all. At least as far as influencing the site's running is concerned."

kylay - agreed.

"Coffee, Just the performance for me. Last Saturday when I could not log on for about 24 hours, I thought that was it. It gets difficult to read and post on match days (presumably because the server can't handle the traffic). I know the place used to be more jovial and good-humored, but isn't that all of the internet. I know there were also more posters. Moderation is a very fine line, and I think this site does a good job of walking that line while encouraging open discourse. Anything with even a whiff of politics usually gets hijacked, but I'm not sure how much good trying to police it will do."

"kylay (and anyone else), what would make it better? Speed? Content? Appearance? Something else?"

"I don't really want to resist coming on here. There are plenty of cunts and absolutely useless threads, but the match threads alone are worth it even if we are repetitive. I have very few people in my life that follow football enough to talk competently about it, much less West Ham. Been here close to 20 years and probably my most consistent website over that time. It does seem to be on its last legs though. I appreciate the design for its simplicity."

So. Hands up...in the air! In the air!...who lacks the willpower to simply ignore this site or even just a few of the posters who use it.

Phall Throw 4:22 Sat Oct 21 Exactly this.

"I don't think this site is working at all on Safari. Edge is hit and miss. I just tried to post on the match thread and my post disappeared. It was a very insightful post too. In case I can't post anymore, thanks to all my fans for their support over the years. This could be me signing off for the last time. By then. I'll just go. I'm leaving now. That's me gone. Ta ta. Cheerio. ...Okay, I'm going."

"With the intellectual content and high brow debate, it was only a matter of time before we drew attention from mi5, Russia, China, Mossad, Walkers Crisps, RSPCA, Weteherspoons amongst others ."

Sounds like Northern Sold is back from Canvey and forgotten it’s .net not .com
