T'other board

[griff]

For the benefit of visitors, and there have been quite a few over the last day or so, and current posters here’s how I see it. There are two Carlisle boards but neither is king. Because one is busier than the other there is an “heir” (The Cumbrians) and a “”spare” (Carlisle Mad). This need not be the status quo though, and the more that the other board lets people down the more posters they will lose. They won’t necessarily come here, welcome though they are, but if nothing is done over there to stop this downtime continuing then The Cumbrians.net will end up no more busy than this board. After all, people have other options now and better things to do than wait around for a messageboard to load. Action needs to be taken if the other board is to be viable.

There’s the problem though. This has been going on for two or three years. Advice has been given and ignored. So, why? Do the Mods over there want a message board or not? Would they prefer folk to post more in response to their Twitter feeds or on Facebook? Because that’s the way it’s going. Now some of them (at least) are involved in Unita Fortior and some sort of maintenance was allowed to take place* on transfer deadline day. Eye off the ball, surely. So there is now a very large chance that that board will be allowed to fester and die because I can foresee a way forward for the owners of that site, and it doesn’t include a messageboard.

The funeral bell is ringing.

* no, me neither

And, as if on cue, it’s down again.

It might be worth bearing in mind their long proven incompetence and track record of lack of transparency when it is voting time for new representatives on the CUOSC Board.

To be honest I am confused about the CUOSC and its links with the message board and CUFC including the individuals. Could someone please enlighten me. As to the future members of the Board, the current incumbents will need to stand on their record against anyone from the new intake linked to UF who is interested, dynamic and offers strong benefits in terms of representing te legitimate interests of all CUFC fans. I have my own thoughts on that but lets see what happens in the next month or so.

The obvious link between CUOSC and t'other Board is that several (if not all) of the Moderators are CUOSC members.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. The more members CUOSC has the better.

The key words used in your post are that future members of the CUOSC Board should be "dynamic and offer strong benefits in terms of representing the legitimate interests of all CUFC fans.".

I totally agree with that but would also add the words "should have a track record of competence and honesty".

If UF can find some candidates that meet these criteria they will have done a good job.

However track record of t'other Board suggests it won't be any of the Moderators.

Oh dear .... as bad as ever.

I know. It’s the local treacle-wading championships. Or a reluctant hooker - there’s no way on.

And as I head for bed, tonight there were 21 posts on our match thread, 15 on theirs. Thank you, and good night,
