sapper756 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 BRIAN INSTEAD OF JUMPING ON THE DEFENSIVE why not ask these members whot they would like to see on the site and whot would make it easier for them to use it , they cant all be wrong and surelly you cant always say your confussed as to why , thats the problem , Owen has put up a possitive constructive critisism and you are knocking him saying people just post to knock the site , thats bull open your eyes and read whot there saying, its got nowt to do with any other sites , there telling you whot they are not liking m8 That,s the problem, they are not saying, all they say is "I don,t like the new set up" "It,s not user friendly" and as I said I have looked at the site they are on and can not see what they are on about, and by the way, I am not knocking Owen, simply giving my opinion, As for claiming people knocking the site, yes I have seen this on the other site, I saw a thread being removed by admin due to this, I saw admin asking members to stop knocking basics, so my eyes are open, and this is my opinion to which I am entitled, http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif Any way, I,m off to bed now, see you ladies tomorrowhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif life is too short, all the besthttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

VMS Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 I don't have a problem with the new format its different from before but the changes had to be made to cope with demand and modernize the site.There is no point going on how it was in the old days. The new format is here to stay and as i have said before in the coming months members will familiarise themselves with the new format.
JADE Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 dont really see what the problem is. you can access anything you want quite easily. there is obviously not the same activity as there used to be but i notice there is not the amount of c..p and bickering either. one suggestion i would make...several club sites have not been updated for between 2 and 4 years. i would suggest removing any clubs which have not been updated for one year. i will be interested to see the activity when the snfc/snrpc races are on because there was more info on here last year than on the liblines or website

Ulsterman Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 why change the layout in the first place,people where happy with it so why change it. only thing i didnt like about it was the bad language,im not a prude but there just no need for it,that includes blaspheming as well,and talking about football and other non pigeon related stuff,if i want to hear about football (and i dont) i'll go to a football forum. i used to come on here before any other forum,that was before the shutdown & changes,i go to 3 pigeon relates sites now and i log on to the others before i come on here. everything seems so slow on here now,its a pain having to wait,wait,wait for pages to change or whatever.jmo.

Guest chrisss Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 its a pity but all of the "magic" has gone from the site, i do not view that often now.but it seems to me that a lot of guys who gave this site its flavour have left [and taken the sites soul with it]THEY CANNOT ALL BE WRONG, the site turned into a dictatorship, with certain mods thinking that they were gods,and that any remarks made against them was a stoning offence,this site will never be the same again[even if the banter did go over the top sometimes]it will plod on with a few guys screaming that it has not changed then,drift into the dust bin where it now belongs,it was good while it lasted. and i hope i am wrong and that after the racing season everyone turns up but be honest what are the chances?it was down too long,
Roland Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 Well I think Owen, around the same age as me, has a point. Furher I have only been of a different opinion twice before. But I think every site I've ever been on was awkward and took me time to get around But when the drift came to me, like I'm sure is the same for Owen, we will sail around it and be happy little chappies. Now as for the other gripes, I see no real reason for. 90% will soon have it within their stride. The 'Smart' banter that tended to disrupt nigh most site topics, sooner or later, mostly sooner has been curbed and placed in relevant context and place. That has to be a bonus that will shortly reap benefits. For more folks interested in what the site is about 'Pigeons' and related subject, are and will be able to glean much knowledge and gain further interests. Yes and Chit Chat etc will thrive and substain the balony which much of the banter we enjoy is in it's place. So that in it's self augers well for the future. Yes we have, and I suppose that goes with the territory, knockers and egos' BUT them we know, and son they are taken no note of. So yes am miffed as I have to engage again to get the drift, but personally I still think it is a vast improvement, and one where those of us 9Older ones lol) stick to it will benefit. Necomers of course will adjust because they know not the difference. Just like me and Owen would do if we hadn't got use to the other set up and came on new and fresh. Yes struggle like we did, but perseverved and gain the benefits.
Guest chrisss Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 so if i read this right, what you are saying is stuff the old membership, roll on the new ones who know no different and so cannot miss what was [before the takeover of the politburo]the best site of its kind on the web?,its not just navigation of the site,we can all get used to it,its the SOUL of the site,its gone now,and it will [i doubt] never return,i looked on another site this morning it had 53 guys signed on, this one had 15this site appears to have no life left
OLDYELLOW Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 48 users online now and thats within the last 15 minutes not an hour which looks decieving its a nice hot day many are out enjoying the sun members wanted the instability issues sorted by the old software admin have achieved this and long term the site will benifit from it , no more pm system going down no more loosing of members , on that note im off to enjoy the sunshine
Roland Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 Well Chrisse never mind the soul, (I think you mean the 'Spirit') and that spirit will be a bit dormant for now for sure ... As is every map full stop. However I truly believe it will rise from the so called ashes with strength, a new way, yes a better way forward for far, far more of us. One with a more positive and meaningful purpose. JMO. which I'm pretty sure I'm right.
