"Not sure on others experience, but the site seemingly gets worse and worse to use. Is it time to just migrate to a new site, even if that means existing users re-registering usernames, and old threads being consigned to the WayBackMachine for reliving old times? Wils has obviously said he could get us up and running on a smooth running new platform, and this current site feels like we're bleeding out with death by a thousand cuts, through no fault of those that expend time and effort to keep us operational. Would be gutted to see the WHO community fade to nothing as we're unique among fan sites, but IMO feels like it's time for a 'best efforts' migration to a platform that is fit for purpose. Worth running a site poll to canvas opinion on this and make a community based decision?"

"@iphammer No migrate. As in usernames, users, content...take it (or as much of it as possible) and move it over to a new site."

Migrate to a new site ? You mean buy a new domain name and set up a new site?

Fantastic security on this website with buttons for EDIT DELETE YELLOW CARD plus showing everyone's IP credentials *Claps hands*

Not myself or Wils. Assumedly North pulled a rabbit from a hat (good man). Great to see the old girl chugging along again. In the meantime we'll work in the background to provide a viable upgrade option should it be required at some stage.

This old site seems to be much perkier these last couple of days. Long may it continue. The clock's still fucked though.

"Last few months its like the site has a virus (is that still a thing?) 50/50 if a thread is gonna open, 90% chance you get logged out if you go to page 2, entire site crashes randomly, replying makes the site hang and then give up. Completely unusable. Worked for a while briefly using .co.uk instead of .net Got no idea if this reply will ever post. Is there actually a fix for this? Don't use any other forums but are they like this too? How is KUMB coping? Is it just what happens to ""old"" websites in 2024? Be a real shame if WHO goes"

"Given the trials & tribulations of getting stuff up on this site, most people (and, yes, I include myself in this to save you the bother of spending hours trying to tell us) seem to insist on posting absolute drivel. Only on WHO..."

"I often have trouble getting the site at all and then, it often wants me to sign in again. Even when I do, it then rejects me a few times, before I can get on again."
