First post !

[hypochondriac]

I've paid woot!

[ypbl]

Phew! It's good to be back...

[Evil Monkey]

Does editting count as a new post?

[Evil Monkey]

Damn it, no edit function for cheap skates.

[team-saint]

i don't understand the paying stuff can someone explain?

[bridge too far]

Best fiver I've spent today!

 

Nice to see you all again, guys

[Toomer]

Does anyone think that £5 may scare off potential investors?

 

If we get enough £5.00 we could be the investors. End of withdraw symptons.

[70's Mike]

Paid willingly

[70's Mike]

i don't understand the paying stuff can someone explain?

 

if you do not pay i think you are limited to how many posts a day

[Julian H. Cope]

£5 Paid.

I never usually post with all the main board mentalists.

[cf saint]

Well done, £5 about to be paid, I never realised how often i checked the forum til this weekend

[Wade Garrett]

I hope the £5 eliminates the riff-raff.

[Loyal Saint]

Good work fellas, have no problem paying a fiver

[St_Tel49]

Yes, I will also not waste one of my three posts

I have to saythat three posts the colour of diahorrea is as many as I can cope with ;-)

[saint_ed]

When we pay the £5, do we get our inbox back? Also, why is my post count down about 2000?

See thread in The Lounge re post count.

[Islander]

You don't get much for £5 these days - well worth it!

Thanks for getting it up and running again.

[Baj]

Hoe many other football forums charge a membership to post threads rather than offer donations?

 

LOL at the threads being lost?

Baj its very easy to get the post fields back in order from the backup database,are you not a Web Developer Freelancer? offering page one google?

 

I would like to offer you the job of getting me first page google for the keywords "Mesothelioma" and "Microsoft".

 

If you can show me how a corrupted table in mysql can be recovered when fix table command reports table is corrupt and unrecoverable, i'd be thankful, pm me perhaps?

[Phil the Saint]

Great to have the forum back - £5 well worth it!

[saint lard]

Well that's me £5 poorer.

[The Worm]

i think the match day threads are going to become considerably shorter

[corsacar saint]

No problem , with a fiver , keep up the good work.

[Danny]

I can't wait to see how many Pompey fans pay up. I reckon Corp will be sorely tempted...

[Barney Trubble]

Well done gents, I imagine looking after forums are a pain in the backside

[Leicestersaint]

Surely no one is going to complain about paying 10 pence per week?? How tight fisted can you get?!

[trousers]

Whoops....I think I clicked on the 'Pay' button twice.....does that mean I can post twice as much drivel as usual....?

[trousers]

How tight fisted can you get?!

 

Rupert Lowe?

[saintbletch]

Death, taxes and forum subscriptions. I'm in. Happy to pay and well done to those who spent their weekend sorting it out.

[St_Tel49]

Well that's me £5 poorer.

 

But your life will be so much richer :-)

[John Cool]

I think a fiver a year subs is fair enough. Good point that someone made about voluntary donations - last year another forum I use asked regulars to chip in some dosh (as a one-off) and I gave £20. I think the average was about £10.

[CHAPEL END CHARLIE]

So, whats the difference between a full member, a senior member, a member and a junior member?

 

Full Member - Bog Standard ex TSF hack

Senior Member - As above but they drive Jags

Member - Untermensche

Junior Member - that 14 year old Spanish kid

 

HTH

[CHAPEL END CHARLIE]

I hope the £5 eliminates the riff-raff.

 

No I'm still here .

[Cunning Stunt]

[southamptonfclegend]

why do we have to pay a £5?

[southamptonfclegend]

[the scud]

[Toomer]

I have been able to edit posts.

[exit2]

and you can't flipping edit your posts nice one

 

subscribed members can

[Saint Charlie]

How do we get avatars?

[saint lard]

Not overly impressed, would like to cancel my subscription.

 

Actually on a serious note i see the subs will be automatically debited at the end of each year,is it easy to cancel or am i completely wrong about the auto debit thingy.

[exit2]

why do we have to pay a £5?

 

 

Firstly, the technical infrastructure of the forum will be vastly improved. That is to say that we will be moving to a new host offering improved technical specifications for the server, which should guarantee that the forum is working even at peak periods, so those who aren't at a game for whatever reason can still keep up with what's going on. The obvious downside to this is financial, and we have had to devise a plan to ensure that the forum becomes self-sufficient in the long-term.

 

Revenue will be generated predominantly from two places. Firstly, we will be imposing a new tiered structure of membership. The majority of the 8,000+ membership of the forum either don't post at all or post very rarely. For those people, the main change will be the appearance of a few adverts on the forum, predominantly powered by Google. These adverts will slowly be put in place over the next week. For those on this free level of membership (known as Tier 1), a limit of 3 posts per day will be imposed and private messaging and avatars will be disabled. For those of you who want to post more regularly, want to be able to send private messages and want the forum to be free of adverts, there is a Tier 2 level of membership. This level of membership will cost an annual subscription of £5. We have set this to what we believe to be an acceptable level in order to provide revenue for the forum to keep it running to its full potential. However, a slight flip-side to the reasoning is that (hopefully) users will be a little bit more considerate about what they write given that they have paid money for access and would have to pay again to re-register.

[Matty's Caddy]

£5, seems Ok to me. Its been a long weekend without TSF, but work would be unbearable Serious misocunt on my posts but really couldn't give a stuff, think they should all have been reset to zero.

 

misocunt.....lol

 

does that mean we can swear?

[icehagman]

I hope the £5 eliminates the riff-raff.

 

I very much doubt that...

[JustMike]

ive paid!! missed you guys :-)

[southamptonfclegend]

so for the £5 we get to edit our posts well this is well worth it

and the choice of the date was pretty poor the time we play well

nobody can discuss it 'cause this forum is down.

[St Marco]

How do we get avatars?

 

Would also like to know the answer to this one, will we be able to upload our own ones now? Ta

[sfcuk fan]

The last 48 hours I've felt like a junkie without a fix ........ !

 

£5 is a pittance and I have very gladly paid up.

 

Thanks for all your efforts mods

 

.

[toofarnorth]

My employer used to block TSF. Is it likely I will be able to get saintsweb when I arrive at work tomorrow? I find it very difficult to only get my saints fix after work or on the weekends.

[AwaySaint1]

If you can show me how a corrupted table in mysql can be recovered when fix table command reports table is corrupt and unrecoverable, i'd be thankful, pm me perhaps?

 

Just using the last known good backup will give members back 99% of post counts and restore 99% of lost threads.

Regards repairing the corrupt mysql post tables,send me a pm and all will be revealed;)

Subscribed members can upload their own avatars. Needless to say, you're expected not to abuse this new privilege
