Ackey Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hi All, As you know OWTB.co.uk is seeing more and more traffic as the site continues to be the main source of Latics news for fans around the country, and the world. We're proud of this and exceptionally grateful to those who already donated to help keep the site afloat. We're working hard in the background to finalise usage figures to show just how much traffic you all generate and to enable us to better manage the site and the (expensive!) resource requireds to support it. That said there is a simple and easy way you can all help us, and yourselves, make the place a better community and also an easier to manager resource: SEARCH! A simple scan of the first two or three pages of OWTB.co.uk will likely turn up a thread (or two!) about the topic you are interested in, and posting there will not only reduce the amount of impact you have on the site but also help everyone reading OWTB.co.uk to have a better experience. It's simple, easy and effective and we'd really appreciate you all helping out! If you have any questions post away! Cheers, Ack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're responsible for this mess with your "Just out of interest" and "Club Stance on Slags" trolling. You can take care of your own knobrot.

Wardie Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Putting those damned Polls in their own section might help, at least that way, if anyone wants to take part then they know where to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working on that! I think £2 per poll is the way to go - helps with both issues. The lads won't let me do it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keep_the_faith Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 As a predominant mobile visitor to the site, and an internet speed they'd be ashamed of 30yrs ago all these cryptic thread titles that you open to find a link to another pages do my head in. at least write a line or 2 so we can decide whether its worth going through with the link!!

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Guidelines on posting. One bloke grabs one leg and pulls it one side of the lamp post. Another bloke grabs the other leg and pulls it to the other side of the lamp post. Then you both pull at the same time. Hey presto. A posting.

LT_SMASH Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Not to sound like a kill joy but any chance of tightening up on the swearing. The language on OWTB over the last 12 months has got, well, a bit loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Frank and honest answer - no. We simply don't have the time or inclination to manage it these days. It was all but a full time job before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Self policing if you think some one has gone OTT on the language let them know, Im with the Mary Whitehouse brigade when it gets extreme. In the right context it can be amusing, but there is a limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
