PR looks like it has finally kicked the bucket

[Duff Paddy]

You stick to the lycra news and hotel recommendations and we'll all be happy!

Throw in Italian expertise and it’s a deal

Cycling, hotels, and dining out, firmly middle-aged now. At least your curmudgeonly ways are consistent with your actual age now.

Stay here you cunts

[TB63]

Haven't been accused of having a fucking prick for ages. I thang ewe

I've heard it resembles a baby's arm holding an apple.

Nah, piece of spaghetti with a raisin at each end

Don't brag yourself up...

It’s back ... but despite knowing that I came here.

Same. PR is like a cruel mistress. I've kept going back over the years, despite her treating me like shit. Despite her taunts, her tantrums and her emotional abuse. I've kept going back, and in doing so I've enabled her poor behaviour. Nay I've encouraged it. Well, I've finally cut her off.

[Uncle fester]

Never say never but when you're busy, it's much easier to use a forum that has a modern interface and can be used on a mobile.

The side bar ads on PR were the last straw for me.

It was already a pain in the hole, & had so many whiteouts, & then the pricks load up more shite, to make it even slower

[Wyndham Upalot]

Thank fuck. Thank you ASMO, this place is a zillion times better. Long live PR, in this format.

Reports of its demise would seem to be premature.

There is something wrong with access from a mobile - really slow load times

You've crept back for a familiar one nighter. She really does have your balls in a vice.

I much prefer the functionality of this forum. And I like the fact that ASMO doesn't act like he's doing us a favour by keeping the forum going. But it can be very quiet, so I think I will bounce between the two for a while. There are some good threads going on here though and I will definitely post here more than I did previously.

Time-wise, we're always on the graveyard shift (PR or NPR): I tend to log in during work hours time which means it's Aus and NZ based posters only.
Have logged in a few times after coming in from a night out (with some interesting results) and there's always far more people when it's good for GMT. I have to wait until the evening to see anyone else on the Scottish Rugby thread

PR has been the source of great fun and entertainment for me for at least a decade. I see no reason that should stop. I’d been more of a lurker on PR for a few years as I’d become too busy at work to post much.

ASMO’s setting up of this “lifeboat” coincided with a summer break that was always going to be quiet for me. I thought I’d post here a bit to help things get up and running. I found, as AC said, this is such an easy, fun place to post, quiet as it is through the Eastern Hemisphere daytime.

Going forward, I imagine I’ll post here when I can and lurk at PR enjoying the shitfights, banter and sense of history and tradition.

I don’t see NPR as a “lifeboat” any more. For one thing, Jake has cried wolf one time too many. NPR is, in itself, a fun posting experience I’ll look to keep enjoying.

For me, the boreds compliment each other. I know that won’t be everyone’s experience.

Long live King Asmo.

Good post. This place has a nice genteel feel to it. PR is like a big bustling city whereas this place is the countryside, slower pace of life, fresh air and some open spaces.

[Jimmy Smallsteps]

I find there are fewer UK liars on this site trying to say the Premiership is the bastion of quality rugby.

A refreshing change of pace to see more forward-thinking SH types on this forum.

Except of course, for those fucking Saffers.

Looks like PR just got locked again

[Camroc2]

PR down for two days according to Jake.

Expect at least a week.

[Mr Bungle]

Forum migration. 24-48hrs according to head technician, Jake.

Your timing is hilarious. You wait a week and a half to come in here crowing about PR not dying and choose the day when it shuts down again. 24 hours according to Forum Fucker Jake.

[Insane_Homer]

Awe, I was hoping it was a super injunction after I posted a picture of Boris and his new pomp.

24-48 hours before they realise it's FUBAR and roll it back, again.

[Ellafan]

"migrating the forum software"

I infer that means the new platform Jake identified before - where an article forms the first post in a topic, and with sub-forums and the like.

If you want to copy any of your clever posts for your archives, I suggest you go and find them now.

[ASMO]

I am sure we can co - exist in peace with PR, having had a look at the software they are proposing for new PR i am not sure it will work well from an aesthetic perspective for many existing users, sometimes simpler is better imho.

[Margin__Walker]

What is the new platform they are using? Is it just a standard message board platform from this century or something completely different?

[mat the expat]

How long until the restore?

[Auckman]

Present.

[Kiap]

Reminds me of Cameron "Patsy" Clyne ...

That took about 7-10 months.

[stemoc]

the bored about to reach 100k topics would be funny if it got wiped before it does..

[frodder]

The Irish rugby thread being wiped would a sad sight after those years of posting at a rate everyone else combined can't even begin to match

[EnergiseR]

My posts are being migrated

Last I heard it was Xenforo which is more aimed at monetising traffic and content.

Ehhh that's a stretch. I'm on a couple of Xenforo forums and they're significantly better than phpBB without any monetisation features being used. Xenforo's a good bit of software and will improve the board (which isn't hard, it's a dinosaur)
