Sonic, what's the latest on the expansion front?  Having this cheese fella coming on here and annoying me got me to wondering is all.

Cheers. :)

By the sound of it the only thing expanding is SY's gut, now he's on the pop.

If anyone's interested in taking the site on let me know, I feel like it's time to hand the baton on.

My mate has bailed on me so we've got no design whatsoever, I've not started on the content as I've not had the time and I've not been in the best frame of mind lately.

I meant to post this last week but forgot, I've got no idea what's happening with the site itself at the minute and I feel like a cunt for promising a lot and delivering nothing.

No worries SY.  I originally planned to launch the site with a shell, I had half of it done but I don’t get time to piss at the moment.

Just got a new job which I have loads of crap to bone up on plus I’m buggering off to Peru in 7 weeks.

If anyone is genuinely interested in taking it off my hands they are welcome, blast me an email or PM.

Don't worry about it, it needs time etc to do something like that.

I would offer but couldn't guarantee I'd have the time myself, in fact I know I wouldn't and would probably make a balls up of it. :shock:

 When you say this Dazzza is it the case that you really want to lose this baby, or rather you feel you haven't the time to do it justice?

 I'm sure if you really want to get rid then someone will take it on.

I really haven't got time to be doing anything in the near future and I know a few people have expressed an interest to contribute and lend a hand so someone out there may want to give a blast.

With the amount of traffic we get there is a fair bit of potential there for bigger and better things.

A full site and content plus a few ads and it may even make a few pennies a month.

It would have to be on the condition that someone is going to make a go of it though and not fuck about.

Not wanting to wash my hands in any way.

So would someone baby sitting  for a bit be a viable solution?

I was looking long term development really.

Sites fine as it is and runs its self nicely SY has full access to all the admin functions so he can always tinker about if necessary plus OST and Yeovil are on hand to moderate.

Must admit in terms of the site I have really had bugger all to do for months except pay the odd late bill.

If no one is interested then  no probs really things can continue as they have done.

£60.00 the cunts, robbed my credit card without asking.  

To be fair we had maxed out the bandwidth big time and they promised a warning next time it ever gets close to the limit.

Interested Whits?

 There's plenty of time before the first game, as I said in the thread about close season....I enjoy not thinking too much about matches until the Friday before first match.

very much so, part of the reason i purchase thetownend.co.uk(all sonics fault) (to setup a site hosted on .co.uk to go with the forum hosted on .com if that makes sense).

Cool, I'll sign the domain over as well so you can have lock stock.

Sorry dude, after I'd written the post itself I realised  it was open to it, so thought I might as well take the piss myself.

Seriously though I'd imagine you'd have the full support of everyone on here.

Only a few hours till Oasis now, bed time, gonna get there an hour or so before gates open. 8)

Whits,  who do you use for your hosting?  I am looking at moving mine so would be interested to know who you use and if they are any good?

Cheers Mate
