Have you ever shoed a Horse?
Mal informs us yesterday, that 606 MB is closing down at the end of the month, although to quite a few of us, it did so in November 2003. Thank you Leicester City Roasting FC.
Just wondering how interested any Rebs would be, to try and tempt posters over to the bright side? Im led to believe by my reliable source(see what I did there), ok Mal, that already a couple of new MB's have been born and there are substantial numbers posting. I also understyand that most peole replace worktime with forum time, in a lot of cases, mine included(stop being so jubilant) IT police have bloked this MB, how does it differ to WACCOFF? as If I so desire I can go on there to see how the clowns are behaving.

Any thoughts on this rambling?

Misunderstood your post, I thought he meant this MB. I was going to suggest a change of name for this MB, whilst keeping the name 606rebels. ie. xxxxxxxx.com the home of 606 rebels. What does everyone else think. Let me know asap as I need to re-new the www.606rebels.com domain by the end of the month.

Another thing to look at is moving MB providers. I will check with the supplier we have now, but I know Proboards have an iPhone app with a Anroid app coming soon, and for £1.19 (I think) you can post easily from your phone without having to zoom in to read something. Just something else to think about.

Just checked, no phone app for the Invision board. $2.99 for the Proboard full app (free for a lite version so you can read the board but cannot reply) and an Android app very soon.

More and more people stopped by IT police but can use their phones at lunchtime etc. I think it may be a good idea.

I have been stopped posting by the internet police but I have a Nokia phone so android isn't any good for me.

It would be good to get some more people on here. I don't post as much as I used to because there is not not going on these days on here.

Need to try and get up to a game before the end of the season too.

Great Ideas Col, if you need any cash for owt let me know. Id stopped posting myself, to give others a chance really, obviously there only seemed the Good Morning thread receiving any attention, also only by a few members, Started again last week and although again it was only a few members, it had the old feel to it, I think the few once again proved, through times of adversity WE are a great group of friends who will try and pull each other through, Not that Im intimating pulling anything of yours Mr EU. If a name change is required so be it, as long as it retains the 606 Rebels. And anything that can supply an app I think is an essential, as Eff says a lot of people tend to access the web mainly on there mobiles.

Wow, we have 606rebels.com?!?!?! I'm still trying to remember z2.invision.... URL everytime I visit.

xxx.com might not be the best choice to get round the Internet police though! :P

Ohh and I read about the closure of 606 MBs during the discussions on the future of the BBC last summer, and thought of the formation of this MB - hopefully the country will be able to pull together like we(*) did and provide each other with the services being withdrawn as the govn slash and burn everything in sight.

(* well... mainly the efforts of Sav, DW, Col, et al).

IT police have screened out Rebels, but bizarrely WACCOE remains fully accessible which when you consider some of the knuckle dragging that goes on there is a bit of a surprise. I dropped out of here a bit for two reasons, firstly I became a mod on an non-footy board, and some work changes over the last year or so meant I had less time to surf. I'll try and make a point of having a better profile outside of "office" hours.

Assuming I have got this right and its BBC606 that is going down the pan, I think we should actively try and recruit members from there, and there is no competition as such from WACCOE, the two boards have distinct styles and it is possible for one to frequent both without a problem, I mean if Jonno managed it can't be that difficult!!!!!

Evening all, sorry I've been absent for so long, but motherhood and other stuff kind of took over. Plus it's a nightmare trying to get on the PC in our house these days. I'm all for moving to pro boards if it means I can use my phone instead. It'll be just like the old days.... I'll never get anything done!
