    I was thinking the other day, wasn't it a couple of years back that Chris+ warned it would have to close if more people don't use the board? If anything it's got even quiter since then, but it's still hobbling on

    It is surprising how long something online can continue after its owners have relinquished it. Not much usage means it isn't filling up disk space as it used to so wherever the site is hosted just doesn't notice it.

    One day soon it will go down as it has in the past but never return. I have to confess, I will miss it

    Chris+ still has a soft spot for it. If it was costing him too much to keep up then we could get together and pay the costs. It would be like one of those heartwarming stories abotu villagers clubbing together to buy the local pub. But more virtual.

    I still believe it was the new format wot killed it - numbers dropped dramatically and only the core persevered - I recall we nearly lost Berni. Chris must be about a 120 by now!

    The old format was doing a pretty decent job of killing it. It kept breaking all the time.

    It wasn't the format that broke it, it was the ****eness of the implementation. I thought you worked in IT a? This is the second time you've disappointed me in a week the first being your failure to recognise Breaking Bad as possibly the greatest television ever created.

    I was quite gripped by BB at first, tbh, but after a while it kept recycling the same old tropes and became a chore. It was like butter that was spread over too much bread.

    The old site used to run fine in the earlier days. I assumed it was customised around platforms that themselves had moved on and the old tricks no longer worked, as we often fine with older software. A bit like Dear Old Arsene Himself, really.
