So this place has cost $100 a mth for the last 20 yrs ? I cant speak to what it has cost in the past, only what it costs now. If i had to guess I'd say that it would have been considerably cheaper but as the software became more outdated and fixes patched it required more resources and therefore be...

One of the things we need to be aware of is that despite what is available on a bunch of other sites and destinations, the phpBB software is quite inflexible and doesnt have the same scale/scope of options available as say a wordpress site or custom built website. In theory ANYTHING is possible, but...

Thought we missed Doogs tbh. I know he makes some bonehead decisions with ball in hand but as a pure 1v1 defender he's rarely beaten one-out against the monster forwards and is super important for our structure allowing Battle to play looser / 3rd man up and Wilkie to take the less powerful/more mo...

Please excuse my limited knowledge of the interwebby but are there any less expensive platforms out there that require minimal maintenance ? where you could simply swap the data base over to ? again asking as a pleb in these matters. I did have this discussion a few times over the last week or so, ...

It's (i think!) possible as i've seen similar on other websites however the forum software is somewhat inflexible so not sure if there's an exact plugin/extension that would work for our site.

Hi all The last few weeks have obviously posed some questions about the long-term sustainability of the forum. It has become clear that the website needs some (alot of!) work to ensure it's ability to stay live and online, administered and moderated but most of all, functional. Outside of the genera...

My wife not so much

Hi all By now most of you will be aware the site has been down for a number of days. The software that the platform was built on recently (a few months ago) went through a major automatic upgrade. Having had a number of patches and fixes made to the infrastructure of the site over a long period of t...

Spent the afternoon working with the hosting company and all seems to be resolved.

Not sure what time it all happened but if anyone notices anything strange with the site/server/domain please let me know (via my social channels if site is down)!

Just confirming that these errors have since been resolved. Turns out one of the extensions (Cleantalk) installed on the forum was not compatible with the new version of phpBB that updated a few weeks ago and needed a (very!) manual update which took quite a while to diagnose and then fix. Hopefully...

AI robots have taken over the world...
We finally have flying cars...
TV is beamed into our skulls...
And St Kilda is still kicking the ball directly to Harris Andrews.

I keep getting messages that the site's security certificate doesn't support https. Maybe this will be in the upgrade. Also, i keep getting logged out all the time, as if it can't retrieve cookies The new SSL cert should fix this message. It definitely supports https now. May be cached on your syst...

Hi all Just a quick announcement that we will be doing a site software update over the weekend. At the moment it is scheduled in for about 2.30am Sunday morning (Saturday night for some!) and may take a couple of hours. I don't envisage much down-time, if any, but do let me know if you see anything ...

Beat Richmond this week and it would be harder to miss Finals than make Finals..

Stats Insider probabilities have us 69% to finish Top-8. Nice. Sportsbet have us odds equivalent of 65% to make finals. Like them or loath them the books are the sharpest in the business for a reason but you have to imagine this is based off early season form and strength of schedule on the way home...

Hi freely
Yep we are working on it - the site software was updated by the hosts and we're working backwards trying to work out what has caused the issue. Cheers!

Hi all As you would have seen over the last few days (weeks, months, years!) there is a need for forum moderation, despite what some say. I am looking into upgrades and updates for the forum software, security, infrustructure and a bunch of other things to make the site sustainable in the longterm -...

I have just installed a new SSL (security) certificate - it may take some time to populate but am hoping that will contribute to a fix.

No update on this yet apart to say I am still working on it!

Hello all, quick callout for anyone who would like to put their hand up to take on some moderation duties. Will post this on the main forum in the coming days too.

Looks like the phpBB instance udpated overnight and theres some random code outliers. The developer is looking into it, but essentially this is one of the things I want to look at in terms of infrastructure - phpBB was the world standard in forum software but is now outdated and difficult platform t...

Is there an error going on at the moment. On the top of this forum, I get this hpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/ext/cleantalk/antispam/model/main_model.php on line 370: A non-numeric value encountered [phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/ext/cleantalk/antispam/model/main_model.php on li...

I didn't insinuate anything - I have been quite open in the past and I thought I was being pretty straight-forward in saying in my opinion you most definitely have been a part of the problem. Funny how you came straight at me within hours - are you THE problem? No. Part of it? Sure. You asking anyon...
