Seriously, do you guys think it's worth doing though, or indeed possible, to fire some life back into this web-page?
Even 6 users online at once would be good.
Do either of you ever come on in the evenings? It must get lively sometime cos there are always lots of users who posted in the last 24 hours...

The admin does need to change if they're no longer visiting.

I propose that the current admin hand over the reigns of power to me and some others. You up for that Julian of Leeksville? You, H or Neko would make a fine admin. trinity ;D

We do come on...but what exactly has there been to mod lately? It's rare that threads make it past two pages these days. I tried resurrecting the Hotseat but that fizzled out again quite quickly. I was thinking about this the other day when I was reading the board. Maybe we should get rid of a few sub boards - ones that aren't even looked at nowadays like most of the ones in 'Off The Pitch' (obviously we wouldn't dream of getting rid of the Corridor ). Also, the 'Football News' board could possibly become a pinned thread in the Players Lounge? Facebook probably hasn't helped in the demise of posts and topics - didn't the Derby lot make a group on there and use that instead? With regards to more people posting - maybe I could send posters who used to be regular frequenters of the board an email to see if they'd think about returning?

LMAO - hardly bustling with activity is it? Nothing to mod most of the time and people have all drifted away over the years - i pop back from time to time to read the occasional post but thats about it. If folk want to try and resurrect it then fine by me -- ive just paid (without bloody knowing) another load of money out of my own pocket to carry on using the 606championship.com url so thats safe for another year at least.
But, with proboards being so dated and facebook and other sites now far more popular is it really going to get back to its old ways?? i dont know??

Ouch, sorry about that Mike... hope it's not expensive!!! Facebook must die a death at some point, it doesn't really perform the same function as a forum anyway. I think people will still like a place to free-form chat with minimal interference Though maybe I'm wrong, since as you say little happens here nowadays. There was no reason for that I take it, people just stopped posting?

The emails to old members are a great idea. I think what we also need to do is encourage new users along. We all are members of other boards and sites and surely can encourage people to come and post on here. Once some movement happens it may snowball a bit.

Two points: 1) What is our unique selling point - ie: why would people choose to come here instead of stay where they are? The reason most of us came here originally was because the BBC went sh*te. 2) A good idea but I'd advise caution if you don't want to get banned from the other boards you may frequent

Well I've got a bit of free time this afternoon so I'll have a crack at it What do you reckon about getting rid of some sub boards? Or would you prefer to leave everything as it is?

Cheers J Which sub-boards were you thinking of deleting? I reckon the old guard might want some of their posts retained - I'd be sorry if the arts and literature board was slashed for example?

Cheers J Which sub-boards were you thinking of deleting? I reckon the old guard might want some of their posts retained - I'd be sorry if the arts and literature board was slashed for example? Mainly the ones in Off The Pitch - quizzes, the predictions ones (unless someone wants to start it up again?), the betting shop. The Football News board doesn't seem to get used much - apart from the Ground Hopping one. Maybe we just need a big tidy up. But obviously if people want to keep these on the board, then they'll stay I'm not going to go ona big deleting rampage!

Seems fair, guess you'd better wait for any howling that they must stay... does Katie come on here much anymore? She might want the quizzes kept...

I don't think she does, which is a shame Perhaps Alex could persuade her back... I'll obviously wait and see what the general concensus is regarding moving and deleting boards Does anyone else have any suggestions as a way of sprucing this place up? I've just sent the email - think there was about 50 names on it! Hopefully we'll hear something back.

Thanks for the email earlier, reminded me theres life on this place afterall. Its a shame it isn't like what it used to be, when it was busy and when there were a big core of people who were regulars and came on every day.
Facebook doesn't help, but I don't even go on that anymore, surely some people will get bored of it and drift back here. I think some people think its not worth coming on if theres only a handful of people who come on here, like I said before when it was busy, there were posts galore and lots of banter, its all missing now.
I hope people come back, if they do then you will probably find me on here alot. Hopefully the other people you emailed give this place another chance
