Did I miss something? (STATE OF THE BOARD THREAD)

[Giggles]

I see it on the member list now.

[Pepe]

Can we get that fucking username changed back. Wasn’t even funny to begin with.

Cause randomlegend is so much better.

[randomlegend]

:cool:

[Spikey M]

Right, petition to change Pepe to PeePee. All in favour?

[Magic]

PatioTechnician.

[Lewis]

PatioTechnician.

You can have my avatar for that.

[Pepe]

PatioTechnician.

*PatioEngineer thank you very much.

I tried to join Betfred as an affiliate with this place, so I could refer and earn elsewhere but my account was rejected. I queried it:
I have received some feedback as to why your account was rejected, please see below.

Our Compliance team initially weren’t sure what related content the site had to any of our brands, so they browsed the site and found the following in the “forum rules” section.

5. Piracy
You are permitted to discuss clients and file sharing as a phenomenon. However, discussion, linking or other publicising of files or sites that index files is forbidden. This will be met with the award of points and a possible ban, depending on the frequency and seriousness of the offence. See Rule 12.2.

6. Sexually explicit content
Breasts are allowed in the appropriate threads, which should be labeled NSFW (Not Safe For Work). Anything beyond that will be punished. See Rule 12.2.

This surpasses the limits of what we deem as appropriate content in order to approve exposure of the brands on a site where that kind of material may appear. Additionally, there is the concern about how age-gated an internet forum can be (players must be 18+).

Unfortunately, we will not be able to look to approve your account since all issues outlined amd described above would need to be removed from past posts as well as strict moderation adopted for future posts.:D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fred is shadier than all of us put together, the bellend.

[phonics]

Some poor sap had to look at this hole and do something about it :D

You cheeky fucker. It's not your forum to plaster ads over.

[Kikó]

Oof! Ban him.

[Spikey M]

Yeah, join with Garden Soccer you mook.

[Magic]

Fuck Baz.

[Baz]

I just had to put a domain for my “business” so I put this one.

Wasn’t going to even mention it here cos I wouldn’t have been putting any links or anything here.

[Smiffy]

You would have been benefiting in some way though, right? If so, that's quite sly.

[Mike]

Had a lot of database errors lately...

[Kikó]

Agreed.

[Baz]

On the ropes.

Get your cheque books out.

[ItalAussie]

Just say when.

[SvN]

I've noticed this myself. I'm all ready to migrate the database to a new, standalone server, but it will involve taking the site down for about 30 mins. The only time I've had recently has been weekends (where there's actually activity), so I didn't want to do it then.

I'll do it this week and see if it improves.

[SvN]

I've changed it - we'll see how it is.

[SincereTheRebel]

Shut down the board and take it to WhatApp

[Pepe]

I cannot survive thirty minutes without the board. Don't do it.

[Giggles]

WhatsApp groups are a load of cock with anything more than around 3 people anyway.

[Mike]

I've changed it - we'll see how it is.

Ah nice one!

I hope you aren't like that with your clients, what the fuck sort of expectation have you now set for yourself?

[SvN]

Luckily, I can tell you lot to get fucked without repercussion.

[Giggles]

:cool:

[Giggles]

It's wicked slow.

[SvN]

Anyone else having problems? I haven't noticed anything.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

All good here.

[Giggles]

As soon as I posted that it all went back to normal. Was only this site but it's grand now.

[bruhnaldo]

All good on this side of the pond

[Magic]

That's what you think. #wedge

[mugbull]

All good on this side of the pond

I’ve been having serious database issues

[bruhnaldo]

I was having issues a few days ago but yesterday and today all seems fine. Maybe i'm just getting lucky.

[Spikey M]

Yeah, a couple of days ago it was error central but today it’s been tops. Cheers for sorting it SVN.

[Spikey M]

Quite a long database error this morning. Refreshing didn’t fix it like normal.

[Baz]

Thought it was the end.

[Magic]

Yeah so did I. What's going on.

[Pepe]

Phonics tripped on the power cord.

[Baz]

The server is in Madrid?

[Pepe]

It is. Those massive lol shoes he wears don't help either.

[Magic]

Surely only the moon would be a suitable destination for those eccentric space boots he dons.

[SvN]

Database server lost connectivity this morning. Had to reboot it manually.

[Pleb]

:cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck you Phonics.

[Baz]

Dreadfully quiet on here right now.

I've nothing on at work tomorrow and hardly anybody else is even going to be in. I shall be on full-on smug mode re Liverpool's win and expect a lot of activity on here.

Pull your socks up, boys.

I might even write a WDYTOE list if you're good to me.

[SincereTheRebel]

Its a sinking vessel. May have to jump ship to FMGamer to keep me entertained

[Magic]

Abandoning me at my time of need. Won't forget this.

[SincereTheRebel]

You have 7 other fingers and 2 thumbs. You will be alright.

[Danny]

FM Gamer :cool:

[SvN]

The money runs out in August. RIP.

[Pepe]

With Magic's new position he should be able to support us for decades.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The pressure of keeping afloat already drove Luca and Mert away.

I thought it was never as busy as lately, though probably the holidays.

That said, City loss tonight and good luck :wave:

[Magic]

I can't even support myself or my child.

However TTH comes first. I know where my bread is buttered.

[bruhnaldo]

I really enjoy being to pop in every day or two and catching up on things. I actually quite like the dynamic, personally.

[Giggles]

The money runs out in August. RIP.

It's probably time to start really looking at if there's a case for actually just letting it lapse and binning it.

[Spikey M]

With my new job I should be good for, well, what's the minimum amount you can pay via PayPal?

[Baz]

Last time we raised money the website took a percentage.

Since then, PayPal created Money Pools where people can contribute (and can remain anonymous if they wish). I’ve had a good look at it this morning and it seems to be the best way to raise money while others are able to see what is raised, as opposed to just sending SvN money and everyone trusting it. I’d be fine either way to be honest.

Here’s what the PayPal money pooling system looks like: https://paypal.me/pools/c/8b379JwgTn

I think we should definitely have a donation drive, after success of last time (https://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/showthread.php?964-Donate-To-The-Forum&highlight=donate+forum).

[Giggles]

It's that link going to give you a percentage of my balance?

I'd still send cash to SvN if there's something happening.

[Baz]

It's that link going to give you a percentage of my balance?

Nope. I was just showing you what it looks like. Maybe if SvN set one up, people would be less arsey?

It was me who sorted it out last time you know. :rolleyes:

[Magic]

Are we all going to contribute like £1/£2 each and hope Ital donates £100 again?

[Baz]

They chose to remain anonymous at the time so I won't divulge names and that, but Ital wasn't the only really generous one. :sst:

[Spikey M]

You're welcome guys

[Kikó]

PayPal is free when it's just a gift rather than a payment for a service.

[John Arne]

Just been looking through some old emails, and found my registration confirmation from Mark... in 2003.

20 fucking years. TTH must hold some record as the longest running football-game related forum...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We know his password!

[John Arne]

We know his password!

:D

You joke, but Harold has probably tried it.

[Shindig]

I've got an email from 2005 but I'm sure I registered back in 2002.

[niko_cee]

2005 was the new board, best way to see original registration is via the way back machine or whatever it is called that allows you to see archived/historic websites.

[Baz]

I have an email from October 2005 telling me I’ve been banned.

[Lewis]

If I had to predict the state of the bitter-enders, I would go me, Baz, Floyd, John, Mahow, Pepe, and Smiffy. The Core Group, in many respects, and more than enough to keep things going.

Faulty brains have claimed a couple, but the lads are still going strong.

[Pepe]

:cool:

My output has been lacking lately, but I am not going anywhere.

[igor_balis]

Faulty brains have claimed a couple, but the lads are still going strong.

I'll be here, give me John's spot.

[Spikey M]

I'll be here, give me John's spot.

If you want his spot then you have to fulfil his role as chief dour Scotsman. Do you agree to these terms?
