This Site | Bite the bullet and migrate?

Post stubbo »

"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?"

I like the duplicate posts because people can't wait an eternity for the browser to refresh on its own.

Anybody got the feeling that this site will probably and accidentally & deliberately bounce back to life the day after the election?

"With no (proper) football, no transfers, an impending election coming up, it's probably for the best that it is fucked for the moment. It'll only be a complete cesspit. Oh, and what Kenzo said."

Come On You Irons 7:52 Thu Jun 27 So demand a refund and fuck off to a site that meets YOUR expectations - or pay for one out of your own sky rocket.

This idea stinks of moving from Upton Park to the London Stadium. I like it how it is

Are you for real North Bank? The site has been allowed to become complete and utter shite from a UX perspective and people who use it have a right to call that out. It's YOU who comes across as whiny and an ultra sensitive snowflake. Get a grip fella.

"No intention to be whiny or problematic NB. More just got the best interests of the community at heart, am prepared to try and help Wils with a migration plan/setup etc and do some investigation or platforms/legwork to move over to. Only interest is in seeing the site continue/grow. Have 20+ years invested in it!"

"FFS I posted this on the last "" This site is shit thread"", which was about a week ago, and most if not all of you commented on it, I also posted it on the one before that and the one before that ad infinitum So for the hard of 'hearing', I am currently taking a post season breather and when I return next weekend I am going to speak with Wils about migrating the site. We have some DNS & seevarbwest issues that can't be resolved on the back of a whiny post, although I do accept and share your angst. As much as you are all spiffing good guys whose contribution to WHO over the years has been commendable, your constant moaning is both irritable and annoying. Give me a few weeks to sort things out and if it's not acceptable then you can all form an orderly line and proceed to cսnt me in the bastard."

"How do you deal with posters who no longer have access to the original e-mail (address) they signed on with, or is it a case of ""Fuck'em, I'm alright, Jack""?"

"Tried SIX times during the course of the day to post on the Euro 2024 thread and only just been able to get on. Fuck this shit cսnt site off, just bin it and start again and then email all the users with the email they used to register to sign up again ..... all 15 posters that are still active that is. Site has barely functioned for fuck knows how long. About time it was put on palliative care and left to die in a dignified way."

Barely post now due to the constant issues. Definitely should make the move sooner rather than later otherwise it will lose more posters.

North Bank has suggested a change will happen after he's finished sunning himself somewhere on his holiday. But it's fucked as it is.
