Otis is a very goo poster. I would like Dunne to come accross as well!! Although you wont see him in the Coventry talk section often!

Otis aint a bad lad, he'll probably wait until GMK is officially pronounced dead til he comes over.
Not sure they will ever pull the plug though will probably keep it limping along as long as possible until the traffic gets so low it will cope

It seems like an easy fix, just get a new server. I think whoever set up the site (Moz?) might have jumped ship and now no one knows what they're doing. Ahh well, all good things come to an end.

At the minute it is using hosting with a company called 1 & 1 with it being based in Germany and it is the Tesco Value of web hosting. It will be on a server with a fair few other sites I think which is why it can't handle it.
The forum software is bespoke which is good in the way that it is unique but bad in the fact that only 1 person knows how it works in the world so when there are issues, you are screwed. The good thing about having popular forum software is that it is constantly updated and there are hundreds of addons to install when needed
Didn't Smiles/Knowl say they share the server with the Sheff Wed and Hull board's so it soon all add's up.
Think they'll get it sorted but they're taking the piss with the time it's taking and their view of if you don't like it lump it. The traffic on there for the last year has been poor and I doubt they'll ever get back to the 'good ol days'.

Indeed, and many people are lumping it as can be seen by the traffic on here over the past week or so.

I think Moz helped out off his own back and fair play but I think he also had a full time job and sorting out custom software isn't something that can be done quickly or easily.

Looks like Sheff Wed's site is running perfectly, it's the exact same as GMK... but it works.

I thought they took us off on to another server as we kept affecting the others, could be wrong though.

I never used GMK and was always on the IC Coventry Telegraph site. I had morphed there from LAST which also disappeared and now I'm here. I'm obviously a bit of a jinx so I hope that you don't suffer the same fate or you'll all blame me
Did you ever look at GMK? if so we can blame you for that one too...

With that track record I reckon we should have a whip round to buy him a few shares in the Villa
