There was a lot of posting before the move. Several were saying they were going to WCN. Many haven’t made it here for sure

I can confirm quite a few of the old members are now over at WCN. Many are also on a newly created Discord. Quite a few have joined both. I hate change. We had the best UK sports forums on the net. Now it has been fragmented and broken apart, with its members scattered about. And for what? All because someone had $$$ in their eyes. Guess who the real losers are? Yup. The fans.

I hope a lot of folks make it back. With UKFB's recent issues, I could see the forum transfer being the final straw.

He's hoping folks stick around.
So far this is reminding me more of what happened to the 247 board after they went to a pay-to-post subscription model. I’m guessing that was 8-10 years ago. That board was pretty active but now virtually none of the posted threads even break into double digits.

The cutover to the new format, while not without glitches, wasn’t as bad as it could have been, and so far at least, the concerns about having to pay to post are unfounded, at least for now.

That being said, it’s clear the traffic on this board has dropped significantly. I don’t claim to be Gods gift to this board, but I’ll try to do my part to stay engaged….. but if the board doesn’t pick up when the season starts you won’t be seeing very much of me.

There isn't much to talk about. People also aren't super high on expectations this year. As someone else mentioned, the old board members are fragmented to several new sources of posting.
