I've been popping in and out the forums for the past few months, just keeping things ticking over but not really investing any real time into it. I've not been to a Flyers game this year so after giving it some thought the past couple of weeks, I've decided I've got two options; close the forum down, or hand over the reigns to someone else.
At this point, I'm putting a call out for someone else to take over the running of the forum. The forum itself is free, but I pay for the domain name every couple of years. I just renewed it a couple of months ago so when it lapses in a couple of years time, whoever is running it is free to either let it revert to the standard forum url or keeping renewing the current one.
So, if you're interested in taking over the reigns, message me.

How much are the domain charges? I’m not necessarily interested but could be handy to give people a rough idea what it cost them.

ProBoards (the creator and host of the forum) also charge a fee to allow you to use a custom domain name. I think this is around $14 per year. The domain name charges are £11.99 per year.

Hello Mark,
I tried to post as soon as I read your message but it is so long since I was on the forum that I needed to re-register. When a stalwart like you (and have been for many years) has turned their back on the product offering then there is indeed a big problem with the entire match night experience. Unfortunately, the lack of response to your post only reinforces the apathy towards the forum nowadays. I for one will miss it (and of course Stirling's posts) and I would like to thank you for resurrecting it when the "Official Forum" was shut down and maintaining it since. My disappointment is compounded by the fact that I may now need to join Facebook to keep up to date with signings and match scores etc.
Thank you
John
P.S. You have been at a few games this year. You must have blocked them from your memory. :-)

Just to be clear, if someone took over the forum, there doesn’t need to be any costs. The default is free, I just paid to get a friendlier domain name. Thanks for the thanks though John. Hopefully see you at a game at some point. Mark
