Jakey, the classic attention whore. I s'pose he at least leaked the upcoming fork in the road.

The early punch to the mouth of the PR bored was the "in your face" advertising which, even if ad-blocked, fucked up the screen.

I don't mind unblocking a few unobtrusive ads if it helps keep the hamster alive, but that was taking the piss.

I'll continue posting here. Fairly laid back atmosphere so far, and ASMO's done a great job, feel we owe it to him.

Plus, I want to use the banhammer on someone.

I’d guess that 95% minimum of the planet rugby site traffic was the forum. That’s why Jake is having a panic.

[dramatic music]
We were the foundations of his empire, we built his pyramids under the crack of his moderators whips using bricks made without straw. Many of our brethren lay fallen, but we have now been let go. Let him chase us in madness through the sandy wilderness and sacred fiery pillar will hinder him, let him pursue us across the dry floor of the roaring sea and he will be inundated by the glory of the most high.

ASMO You have done a lot of work for this bored and I hope it becomes the preferred rugby bored, the one thing that would give it a boost is some live rugby to get us all going but let's hope that will be sooner rather than later.
Kudos to you for all your efforts.

I’ve had two visits... I’m not interested, I’ll be staying here.

I still use Facebook. It has its place and it’s uses... I followed PR there for a while. Interesting to look at the content being pushed onto FB and reading between the lines of Jakes posting on the supposed end of the bored, I’d guess the idea may have been to drive activity through there. Perhaps he saw a glittering empire opening up before him with his ritin skillz reaching a whole new, global audience.

Perhaps. I don’t care. This place is just fine by me. Thumbs up, ASMO👍

Much easier on the eye is NPR. Can actually read the bored without having to constantly pinch and zoom on my iPad. I like it here.

Kudos ASMO for stepping up, & giving us a lifeboat, from the caprices of PR !

I think I'm here for the duration too. The obnoxious sidebar ads on PR were just the final straw.

I know some finance is needed to keep the hamsters in straw, but it shouldn't make the forum unusable !

How about adding sub-forums for other minority sports like Cricket, Hockey, GAA etc, to maybe add the appeal ?

This website is functionally and visually better, haven't been back on the old forum since moving here and will be unlikely to return there.

More of the 'jam tomorrow' line from Jake. If/when a new bored arises it will be facebook logins and all that shite.

Good work here from ASMO, thank you.

Also, Jake now says he was misunderstood - it was all about getting a better platform, for the whole site, and dragging the forums along behind.
PR is pretty unusual in so far as we get huge desktop traffic but little mobile. People's media consumption has changed due to smartphones.

Xenforo started 10 yrs ago, but 3.0 is cutting edge stuff and allows phone posting easily and much more streaming content stability.
