I had the same problem for a while. Eventually I contacted Nick who had a word with Richard, the site owner. It seems that a couple of formats couldn't support this site.

commonly Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Is that tumbleweed?? Seems as though there's only a handful of survivors left after the apocalypse? What's going on mods??? Strange the shop remains online, without any stock?? Personally, I can't see the shop and forum working out, Nice try, but sort the forum out please?

Golden Paws Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I hope it doesn't go but I do understand that a Site like this needs traffic or sales to survive. I was in the market for some reels a while back and got each one £44 cheaper somewhere else but it wasn't in stock anyway. I just had a look at the shop and on the bait page, the first 24 items on the page are out of stock! Unfortunately I couldn't be bothered to search any further, a classic case of not expecting to find anything and going somewhere else. Unfortunately the Site does seem to suffer from Safety Certificate issues and it has been down for at least a week about 3 times in the last 6 months at my reckoning. I prefer this Site as it is smaller and friendlier. I think that a subscription model would kill it (isn't everything on the net free?) but it might stop the spam messages that seem to pop up regularly but take an age to get taken down. This isn't a pop at Nick or anyone but a genuine request for idea's that would secure the future of the Site. Any suggestions? commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B B Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 I think the forum posts will pick up when the weather gets milder and the days longer…I for one haven’t wet a line for awhile ☹️ Golden Paws 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalej2014 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I belong to a different forum on scale models. The free version is available to all, but you can also sponsor the site for just £10 a year. There are a good few hundred users who do just that, and it more than pays hosting fees etc. Is that a way to go?I t's less than a kilo of boilies to keep the forum going all year. Of course you'd want reassurance that the issues would be resolved, but it's an idea anyway. Golden Paws 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoyingly Google is the worst, I was able to still access the site through Mozilla Firefox. Every time we update the site, including trying to put stock on, it blows the SSL certificate so that has to be updated again. I'm not on as much as I was due to my health and father care issues, so don't always get to spam. Please if you spot any, give a report post, the mods and myself get an email with a link. The shop, I wish I knew more about it being fully up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpbell3 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Other than paid membership so a professional company can run things I doubt the site will keep up with the maintenance needed all code needs to work on all devices and operating systems no easy task these days. salokcinnodrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
