Â Oh aye, I forget to mention fannying around with the board's name - what the f**k was that all about? Edit: Oh yeah, new custodians, no swear filter!

Admin4 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 10 hours ago, andymac said: Still waiting for ADMIN4 to crawl out his hole and offer an explanation about the change of mind. All they have said is that somebody has offered them money, Take you own view from that. "Her" hole. Unless discussions have been taking place that I'm not aware of, to my knowledge we had not agreed anything with anyone until we were in the position to make the announcement we have made. And no-one has offered anyone money. And no-one has or will receive money. We have found someone who is prepared to cover the running costs in a way of their own choosing. We liked their approach and outlook and ideas for the future of the Board and we are happy to hand it over - lock, stock and barrel. We are being entertained by all the conspiracy theories and outlandish accusations though. So, please keep it up until we're not here any longer to be entertained. Love you all.

I think everyone knows that but don't understand why they won't just tell us. There's probably been a switch around so mod 5 now admin 3 and admin in charge of costing/banking is in jail awaiting fraud trial . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin6 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 We thank Jimmy for his offer of saving the board. We had a number of offers from different people with different ways of keeping things running. After speaking to them all and hearing their plans both in terms of technology behind them and how they plan to keep things going we spoke as an Admin and moderating team. We decided on the option we went for as we feel it is the best for the board going forward and this is of no slight to Jimmy or anyone else who got in touch. Many of whom did so privatly off the board. We thank all those who offered their help and wish the new custodians of the board all the best for the future once the full handover takes place.
