What do fans of other clubs do?
Rather than risk sending the Go/Leave poll down a rabbit-hole, I'm starting a related new thread.
Where did everyone else go, I wonder?
I just looked at collection of other MAD forums to see if there were any similar threads about potentially ditching MAD because of glitches. I didn't make a list but from memory they included Brighton, Southampton, Millwall, Swindon, Pompey, and Barnsley. The last was the only active one I found. Most were dead or dying with maybe one or two threads this year. Swansea's forum has nothing but a separate post for every match, and each gets less than ten posts. Wrexham's has virtually nothing doing, which explains why WillyWotsit and BenFostersGloves are always on here.
What I didn't find was any debate about jumping ship. We shouldn't kid ourselves... Notts can't be the only club with a substantial cadre of fans wanting to spend a lot of time together online. So where is everyone?
Before I looked I thought maybe FootyMad was having such success that it couldn't keep up with the bandwidth demands. Having looked around, I now think that maybe they've throttled back on bandwidth because their portfolio isn't getting enough traffic to generate the revenue needed to make their offering palatable. It looks like all the lifeboats have gone, and we're the chamber orchestra going down with the ship.
I really do wonder where other clubs fans forums are. They must be out there somewhere, if not on Footy Mad.
PS No surprise. Having written the above, I've had to wait a half-hour for MAD to wake up and accept it.
