    This site!

    What on Earth is going on with this site? Access recently has been abysmal and it is back to minimising itself. It?s OK for a while, then is virtually nonexistent for days. Whoever runs this site must be absolutely inept, they really should employ some programmers, although relating to my experience of system maintenance, it?s probably being done in India. Truly dreadful.

    It's been pretty appalling my end too Ketts-and is it just me, or is at its worst during games when I find it virtually impossible to even load? Obviously it cannot cope with the relatively small number of regular posters on here, let alone any increase of those trying to view!

    Once he's read this I think Regis may appear shortly to plug his own site again 😁-mind you, he has a point!

    I am having the same the same issues. It is most frustrating. Not sure if the Footy Mad sites have had their day or what the issues are.

    I am reluctant to join the other playground to date albeit I do have a nose and I can get in every time, though I haven’t signed up so don’t log on.

    Hope this site gets sorted.

    Agree with all other posts on this subject. This site is now appalling and often impossible to access on far too many occasions. I am a technophobe but wish this site to continue. I just hope that someone with the required knowledge can sort it out.

    Seems to have good days but then really bad days such as during the match on saturday, a real frustration.

    Me and Leicester mentioned this not long back and it seemed as though we were the only ones having a problem at the time. I blame the lurkers and self imposed exiles for slowing the servers down by continually looking over the fence 😉 .

    I?m not sure why you all insist on this site so much, it has so many technical issues. The baggiesforum site could do with contributors from you will and i think you?d all like it..if you gave it a chance. Come on guys, it?ll be like moving house just need to put up with the same members of the household. Did I say there?s a pool?

    Omeg - you know you want to join.

    Yeah he signed up on new site but not sure where dubs has gone. I like the threads on this site and those that contribute so yes Al. I just think you?re all missing out.

    I think you ought to run this open invite to join your new community past your existing members Regis. Seems like an oasis where posters have sought sanctuary from the bullying hellish nightmare that this place seems to have been for several of them.

    From what I've read on your site it seems a lot who post over there seem to think we're a bunch of boring repetitive aggressive s hitheads. Get them to name names and we'll see who's welcome and who isn't.

    Wouldn't want to upset anyone by joining and making them feel as though they need to leave their new shangri la now would we? Not only that but we'd all know where we stand then.

    Quite surprised you haven't asked them what their specific problems are and with whom in particular rather than just gloating about this place going down so often.

    It's the fair thing to do and would certainly make for more entertaining reading than what passes for comment over there most of the time at any rate. Go on. Do it. You know you want to really 😃 😊 😉.
