A question to the site owners

Its a genuine question: Why are you more active on farcebook than you are on your own forum?

This site has, over the many years, seen its own self demise since the initial site was hacked a few years ago. This lead to the opening of many other social media outlets that have so far exceeded the popularity this site ever was.
But I struggle to fathom why the owners are more active on those sites than they are on this particular one.

Personally, I dont see the need to keep this site active anymore anyway. The only people that post are spammers, who get a warm welcome from me, then get dumped by Nav or Rip.

So why keep it open then? If its to harbour the various bits of info, tips and tricks then why dont you just upload the details to a patch in the cloud and link it to your farcebook site?

There are many forums that are hugely popular all over the world, but this one seems to be a dismal failure. Why is that?

Genuine questions, lets see if you give an answer at all...

No, I'm not grumpy - I just want to know

Abject lack of interest on the site owners side. They probably paid Shane a decent penny for the site and I doubt they've got a cent out of it. Probably not worth 500ZARs at this point.

Added that the site redesign is absolute undiluted Sierra-Hotel-India-Tango you have a recipe for failure.

Yeah my 2c is that the site is not as engaging and user friendly as it use to be on the original content management system.

I know of more than one of our frequent posters that felt lost.

I personally feel that the wasting of screen real estate is where the site has lost its attraction. Too much nothingness take up the whole screen.

I hope this is seen as constructive. I for one would love the site to get back to it's former glory but the content management system has to go...

And no comment from the site admin! Lock the doors, this site is done.

F*cking sad.

Admin /owners that doesn't care a shit. After the take-over and big crash loyal members made some good suggestions and comments .... maar hulle het net hulle gatte daaraan afgevee.

So sad as in its day this was the site!

By the way Shane was the man!

F@ck there have been some good times on this site, reports backs like you can't believe. A highlight for me was a "live report" by myself and Warren X from Goedetrouw via Rob Fisher, reporting (with pictures) on one landing one 3kg after another Big Grin

Shane .... we love you Shane Heart

Cheers BFSA RIP Sad

Nice to see you are still around Ninja.
What would be sad is the loss of all the info which is available from this plus the previous site!
All the spammers plus posts have been cleaned up for your viewing pleasure guys........
