doesnt look as 'homely' (for want of a better word!) as here
this site is more personal to Stoke, rather than everyone being on rivals
my vote is to stay put!

Are they actually actively working on implementing some new features on the Rivals board? Or are we hoping in vain, and should settle in for the long haul here?
A brief scan of the threads on Rivals at the moment is depressing reading. A 12 year old Crwho? fan trying to provoke a reaction, some discussion on a PFYC type site where you can win some cash and somebody claiming that TP will be going to Southampton based on a rumour from his mate who cleans the toilets in the Boothen End. Hardly stimulating debate over there is it?

You can only see about 10 threads as well on the main bit-that's shite imo.

I think you will find that you wont have a choice to stay here, as soon as Smudge is happy with the board over there he will disable this one.

Bread
I think Smudge is wiser than that. It took about a week for most users to reject that site and most of us moved here. Sticking a bit of lipstick on that pig of a site is not going to make us all move back - it is more likely that we would end up somewhere else if this board shut down.

exactly, im sure he wouldnt just move there and close this if everybody said they wouldnt use the rivals one as there wouldnt be any point of moving

This board isn't brilliant, it quite often can not cope with the volume of traffic that it receives but it's a masive improvement to what is currently on offer from rivals.

Well if the oatcake went back to that board - I certainly wouldn't be posting it just took about 2 minutes or more just to load the page. Shite is the summary - however this one isn't the greatest in the world either but it's far far better than that steaming pile of shite!

agree - rivals looks shite, 10 topics per page. this board has been much more accessible and their have been better topics than we used to get on the old rivals. ill certainly be using this one until it closes.

I would prepared to donate towards a new forum being built, as would others on here I imagine.
We're much better than Rivals ...

Its a no contest in my book, we should stay here and make it our permenant home. As already said it never has any trouble with traffic and i have never had any problems with it. Long live the proboards!!!

Post by StokieSC on Mar 19, 2008 15:26:56 GMT
Theres better options than Proboards though.
PunBB or phpbb is better.
I'll set a board up for Smudge if he wishes.

well if we all vote and explain to him maybe he will do what the fans want worth a shot He has done what the fans want, thats why we are here now. He knows that if Rivals get it wrong he will lose all of the visitors to the site and also the advertising revenue it generates. I'm not saying he is going to switch us over soon, he will switch it back over when the majority vote is happy with the new board, i'm sure with the amount of visitors the Oatcake gets each day Smudge has some kind of sway with Rivals as to what stays or what goes etc. Remember, while we are over here Rivals are losing out on advertising on the main site, with the Oatcake being one of the most visited sites within Rivals they can't just go with what they think is best if the fans aren't happy, can they?
