YeOldPitGate Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago There seems to be a more polished version of this forum just released but only a handful of the people who post here seem to have transferred over, I have registered but haven't had an activation email through. Anyone know if this means here is on last knockings ? Phil if your about seem to think you might be involved in the running of the speedway forum , or if anyone else knows whats going on would be great to hear.

marko Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Didn’t even know there was another forum, with this one being down for the last 3/4 days I wondered if like British Speedway its days were numbered. Despite a very small minority who try to spoil it for everyone else, this platform is very important and it would be a big loss if there wasn’t something like this for fans to have a debate of exchange views on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is how often this one goes down, which is much more than on other forums I am on.. And the lack of FB or X "sister forums" means no communication is forthcoming as to whether the Forum is only temp down or permanently... Plus, of course, the lack of moderating which allow "multis" to get involved with their often nonsense input to many of the threads, which doesn't help the threads develop...

I agree about the new forum, looked horrible and didn't like the way the pages were presented so am glad this site is back up and running. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Yes this is the correct Forum and it always will be. A fellow Forum Member just couldn't last a couple of days without a British Speedway Forum to a point where he created his own rush job website with a dreadful layout only for the proper one to get back up and running again LMAO!

Not kept count though too closely so might be wrong .😁 3 times in three years (if that is correct) isn't very often IMO (rather quite rare) and as TTT points out technical problems will happen and does happen on most websites/forum/social media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen it with major social media platforms like Facebook and X on numerous occasions over recent times. Unfortunately the BSF can't turn things around in the same time frame as those platforms but they always get the job done eventually.
