A Message to all Forum members:
Some of you may remember an announcement from the present Forum Admin team, John Clements and John Wadsworth, that they were proposing to stand down from their positions and hand over the role to whoever might step forward to enable the Forum to continue in its present form. At that time there were various options for the future of the Forum, among them the possibility of its total closure.
No timescale was set for a formal handover, but there have been various chats between the two Johns and ourselves, who you may know as Yeadoner and Otleybard from the Forum and the adopters of several undignified poses at matches. We offered to take over the Forum admin duties in order to maintain the continuation of this very popular feature, and to add some illusion of power to our otherwise drab and meaningless lives.
As a result of the discussions, the two of us will now oversee the Forum and we would hope that all members would join us in extending our grateful thanks to John C and John H for the excellent work they have done in maintaining the Forum successfully from its inception until now.
We would stress that the Forum operates in a totally unofficial capacity, has no formal link with the main club site or the club itself, and was originally developed as an 'add on extra' under the main hosting of the site. As such, it never has been and never will be an 'official mouthpiece' for the club, and it should be appreciated that the main club website is the sole source of official and authorized news, statements and all other formal information about the club.
Over the course of the next few weeks we hope to settle into the role, and we have plans to introduce several additions to the 'mix' to improve what we feel is already a very healthy feature. Keep a lookout for them, and please feel free to - indeed, please do - let us know (in private via the ‘admin’ address if you prefer) your opinions about the Forum, your own ideas and suggestions, and what you think we’re doing wrong or even right.
Best regards and 'onwards and upwards' with the Lions!
