ALF Posted May 21, 2010 Report Posted May 21, 2010 BUT BASICS LOOKS DEID ON IT'S FEET THE NOO WHAT'S HAPPENING?????? :(
BLACK W F Posted May 21, 2010 Report Posted May 21, 2010 not sure alan i got more constructive things to do and am on other things doing my own thing as they say but yes got to agree
glenrandal Posted May 21, 2010 Report Posted May 21, 2010 i have to agree when pigeon basics went off line to up grade the site without informing the members it was the beginning of the end..........
Guest G.Drysdale + son Posted May 21, 2010 Report Posted May 21, 2010 The members were told 24/48 hours it would be down for don't think the admins thought it would be down for as long as it was,still getting used to it but enjoying it too.
frank-123 Posted May 21, 2010 Report Posted May 21, 2010 there are many who have joined another site so the new lay out and pigeonbasics down time cost a few membersas with all pigeon websites racing season members always drop off
glenrandal Posted May 21, 2010 Report Posted May 21, 2010 I think the long time we were off line has hurt......
VMS Posted May 21, 2010 Report Posted May 21, 2010 For me IB is the main reason so many have left the site, and if he continues to play a role as moderator on Basics it will never be the same again,and distant members will not contribute to restoring Basics to the heights and popularity it once held.I apologize if i offend anyone with this analysis but in my opinion the reasons stated for me is the soul reason for the mass exodus of what was by far the GREATEST pigeon forum by a mile.

I B eleive thats cost the site a right load of members unfortunatly . As has been exspressed before now Vincent , but unfortunatlly no apolagie was ever forth comming for all the trouble he caused . Descent members vote with there keyboards and I B has turned a lot of big time . not an opinion but a known fact . I have always enjoyed basics and still do , but i think as you said while hes here not many will return , which is a crying shame m8
sapper756 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 BUT BASICS LOOKS DEID ON IT'S FEET THE NOO WHAT'S HAPPENING?????? http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif I don,t agree that the site is dying on it,s feet, unfortunately the length of time the site was down, in my opinion has cost it membership, I personally think the new lay out is a move forward, and once sussed it is easy. However, for folks to say that others have left because of individuals, well I can not comment on thathttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif I am sad that some of the OLD MEMEBERS, no longer post on here, as I did enjoy the banter, but they have since the down time found somewhere else. In an ideal world we would all get on (and all support the same team" the bhoys")http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif but unfortunately we do not live in such a world. there are quite a few pigeon sites up and running now, and I myself visit most of them, although I look upon Basics as my favourite. So people should enjoy which ever site they prefer, and if one site provides the enjoyment and service that individual is seeking, then good luck to themhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif Hopefully some of those who have drifted away may return, if not, then so be it. What I have noticed is, on this site you do not see members downing other sites, as you do on another site, and this is something, we as PB members should be proud of.ENJOY THE SITE YOU PREFER, BUT DO LOOK IN AND SAY HELLO NOW AND AGAINhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif except the blue noseshttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif this is my opinion, sapperhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

Wiley Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 I think i have to agree with what many have said, been a member for basics for many years, but when the site went down and redirected, for myself it shot itself in the foot, as normally upgrades are generally for the better but in my opinion the website has took a backseat,
Guest spin cycle Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 i don't think the site is dead. after the shut down it was bound to be slow. the site has a large scots base will keep it going while it rebuilds....bit like how it started. the fact guests can view will bring in new members. as someone else said...its a busy time and racing must come first. i don't think the election threads helped...but its the price for a less moderated site i guess. don't forget the site has had difficult times before...allmost closed but came through. i'm sure it will this time. i want to wish fifer and vallence the best of luck as they deserve our support for all their efforts
Guest gladdo Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 Hi Everyone, Well everyone just take a long deep breath . ok the site was down for a while and sometimes maybe you take a step backwards to go forwards however I think the site will come good. Im learning more about the site and I think it will get bigger and better . ( me personally when i go on the computer this is the site that first comes to my head to check. Ive some excellent friends on here and there are many of very good pigeon fliers and pigeon men that are willing to help you in any way they can. Im going to give the people who are involved in this site a good path on the back . People what we got understand is the work is extremely difficult and im sure they also have there own lives and families and there own birds to look after . We have to realise they cant revolve there lives around us ( each individual member ) . I think lets just get on with it and continue to browse on here and make it stronger. No point running when things get tough.Look forwards and upwards.Where is the spirit? Stick with it and lads enjoy the site the same as me and i know most of you enjoy racing your pigeons so lets stay positive and lets stick with it. Ive had my own problems on here but you get experienced enough to avoid them now so hopefully anyone moaning please just get on with it as when someone is moaning they want people on the bandwagon with them !!!! Good luck racing all today and hopefully see you again on here ...So can everyone stay positive for the sake of us all !!!!! please Mikey (gladdo) Dublin, Ireland

rasbull Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 It certainly has taken a hit since the change. I personally didn't come on much after the change, but now back to logging on as soon as I sit at the computer. I feel others will do the same given time. I must admit some things are better on the new site, but can't help feeling the layout looks poor. I don't know about others but on my computer it is very badly setout. You have words overlapping others (on the very first part of the site, the latest updates etc). I feel the actual message board looks great and an improvement on the old. However, the gallery and the latest news and the recently added topics are badly laid out. I feel the gallery is taking up too much room so you have to scroll down too far until you hit the main board. If there could be a way to just have the latest posts and then directly below the actual message board I feel this would be a big improvement on the current lay out. JMO. But I think people will come back in time!
