IMPORTANT: Site future

[Kenny]

I’m happy to help run and support keeping the forum running as we move forward

Check with LJ that he can cover you first before committing to it

 

[lemonjelly]

I'm lacking in IT skills, and time as referenced by others, but if there's a way I can help I will.

@visage like others have said, your time & effort creating this place has had immeasurable positive impacts on so many people & we are grateful, even if we don't always show it. I have more friends (IRL, not just online) because of this place. My ability to laugh & experience happiness is greater.
So thank you, for all your efforts.

I'm happy to support the site both financially and also with pro bono consultancy should the new encumbent/s require support

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Fully hosted on xenforo cloud looks to be $648 per year. Could we realistically raise this each year on a go fund me?

It looks like plenty of us would be happy to contribute.

Technically incapable, financially willing.

Busted!!!

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

One more to the list of people who can contribute financially. Please keep me in the loop about how and when.
Thanks for everything Vis.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Fully understand your position Vis - we all sometimes find that something has to stop for us to have a life.

I can't help with any tech stuff - the only computers around in my early life were probably built by Ada Lovelace or Alan Turing!

Happy to help out financially if that is needed or anything else.

Don't post as often now, but this site has been a big part of the last 10 years for me - reintroducing me to the joys of Wolverhampton and new friends

 

[leedswolf]

Certainly happy to chip in towards running costs.

Same here.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Yet another luddite who would help out with costs rather than attempt anything technical, would be like watching a chimpanzee in charge of the space flights.

You do know who are administrators on here are don't you? Chimps to TWF is akin to Pep to Wolves, we can but dream

 

[Del Woppio]

Yeah same here, I can't help technically but happy to chip in financially

 

[prawnking]

Sorry, another in the happy to help financially but clueless technically camp...

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

I'm good technically....I wouldn't mind throwing my hat in the ring.

Pm me if you're still looking for someone

 

[b3h]

+1 Happy to chip in so I can spend the majority of my watching tv with the missus whilst I use laptop time trying to catch up on the manager thread

 

[visage]

So...what Im hearing is that in order to remove the needs for as much hands-on technical stuff, people would be willing to chip in to pay for a fully managed XenForo cloud hosting solution that would be somewhere in the region of 700 quid a year?

If thats the case I can certainly speak with Xenforo and get more accurate costings. There will probably also be a oneoff migration fee to copy the site over.

 

[The Bear]

Would we get enough people, even at £10 per year though?

 

[b3h]

Whatsapp group threads?

 

[Tony Towner]

Would we get enough people, even at £10 per year though?

30 x 24 (2 quid a month) is more likely than 70 x 10 I'd have thought
