FootySA running again

From the site:

"OK well we're back, we'll allow moderated comments for now.
This means that all comments and forum topics that are posted, will remain hidden until one of the footysa.com crew has eyeballed it and given it the ok.

We'll see how we go in this format, we're exploring a few other options so we don't have to run this way for the long term.

Thanks for all the emails of support, we were absolutely inundated and it's made us more determined to do everything we can to keep this site going.

Although at this stage we're not sure how we can do this and if we can, what form it will take."

Can't see this working :cry:

Taking it down for that short time is almost too hard to reverse.

I know what you mean.

Kind of reluctant to go back myself.

Depends on others though, I guess.

I added a comment to a thread, took 30 minutes to come up. That was the fun of it though. The forum page, the immediate quip back, the banter.

Hope they can overcome it coz they way it is wont work. I for one would pay a subscription, tender verified personal details and even sign a waiver to have it back as was.

Delayed posting is very slow. I don't think it will work. :cry:

I posted there over 2 hours ago, still nothing, wont be much fun in there on a Friday or Saturday night, should still suit the people who log on in business hours if the footysa guys stay on there all the time to get posts out.

I have tried to post a few things, they all seem to get through in the end. But its just not cricket is it.

One of the few things I wont miss at footysa is not having the ability to edit your own posts, yeah I know there's a preview facility (which stupid me always ignored) but on boards like this you can always go back and fix up silly typos which I'll be doing all the time!

Well anyway it will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Well I wouldnt call it up and running the way it is.

Why did they re install it. Got itchy feet this place is the place to visit now.

Too late she cried!

Why go back? No edit, no avatar, no immediate posting. Plus, I'd have to put up with my old mate Tinpot again and I just don't have the patience to put up with teenage girls anymore.

Looks good here, think I'll stay.

regards,

REB

Oh yes the great REB v GoldenDynstay battles. GD was a strange person. He spent most of his time having a crack at norwood....i wonder if he will be gracing us with his presense here?

FootySA site appears to be down 7.40am. They made a big mistake closing the site in the way they did, should have just taken the whole site down without explanation and then make their decisions. I think they may have lost the core group of their posters here. Most sites like this seem to have 40 - 50 active posters with large numbers of "oncers" and people who register but never post. May I suggest that non-active members be removed from time to time?

I'm with you blokes,and having the facility of different forums is a good idea,if you want to talk AFL you can do it in the privacy of your own forum.
No more getting bagged for enjoying the AFL.

Been down for a while now this morning.

Must have got on there just before it shut down.

Because a couple of people have alluded to some sort of hatchet job being done on the site.

I am now getting used the change in this forum and liking it.

Pretty frustrating over at footysa at the mo!
