Naisby 736 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hahahahaha, I was just curious when I first posted the question as we had been very enthusiastic about joining and then a few months later, we went as attended guests, then no further updates. my choice of language was not an accusation or thinking there was something underhand going on, it was just I would have thought the answer oneboro gave would have been given 8 pages ago or an answer that said these things take time. When no official answer was given I wondered why. But understand real life tends to get in the way of having fun. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,210 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 It's just that you said it was telling but I couldn't really see what about. Link to post Share on other sites
Naisby 736 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 It was just a turn of phrase that I hoped would illicit a response that’s all, just thort it was odd not to get a clear answer. if oneboro hadn’t answered my next step was going to be to suggest we were taking over FMTTM so no need to apply for membership, but discussions were at a sensitive time so no comment could be made.

Changing Times 12,210 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 They are setting up a new forum apparently. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,228 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Probably on the back of all the money they'll get for being part of the fans forum that is gonna win the supporter engagement award. Not gonna want to share that pie with us are they!? I see where this is going now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AsheAshe 55 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Rob is at least now making a new site. Edited December 16, 2019 by AsheAshe Link to post Share on other sites
RiseAgainst 3,776 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 FMTTM has been rumoured to have a new site in the pipeline for a decade, but Rob Nichols has some sort of involvement with a firm called Rivals. They have loads of boards, but I believe the only other thriving site is for Blackpool supporters. I went on it a few times when they were in danger of doing a Bury, and it was just as ghastly to navigate as FMTTM is. I've seen IT professionals on FMTTM offering to rebuild the site for free, and been ignored by the mods. It's like a time capsule from the days of Netscape Navigator and Comic Sans, and I suspect it always will be. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 I have nothing but respect for Rob Nichols and all that he has done and achieved on behalf of MFC fans, he was a trend setter and the first person to speak and act on behalf of the fans. Others have only followed with varying success. I know him and he knows me, no doubt many others do as well who are forum members and he is a very decent man. He had agreed to do one of our youtube interviews but due to circumstances it was never followed up and I have no doubt that there are aspects beyond his full control where circumstances have let him down. He can't do everything on his own but being a busy guy I am sure that it irks him as he is not having a forum that is as up to date as many of the FMTTM members would like. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rob was a pioneer, and I feel lucky to know him. However, I do believe the continuing issues with FMTTM's site are largely because he wants to retain the current design and functionality - I'm really not convinced it's circumstances out of his control.

However, due to work and life commitments the application form has yet to be submitted So basically we picked someone to represent us who wasn't suitable for the role. Not having a dig at Jen, I know full well how much real life can get in the way of other stuff. Any chance we could elect someone else? Or are we just not bothered at this point?

Changing Times 12,210 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 It is strange that the forum's biggest trouble maker was sent to represent Oneboro at the most important meeting ever in the history of the world 🤨 1 Link to post Share on other sites
