American FLEET FAN No1 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Now the takeover of the club has gone through, will this forum be controlled by Myfc, or will it remain as it is now? If Myfc do takeover the running of this forum, would you be prepared to run a Myfc control free forum? I am sure many other posters here are equally concerned.

Jeff Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 This is an independent forum isn't it? Nothing to do with the club so therefore nothing to do with MyFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American FLEET FAN No1 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 I haven't got the(not that much)time to troll through all the threads in here, but some time ago, a moderator warned several posters that if they weren't careful(or words to that affect) the Chairman had told him that this forum would be closed down. I guess that means the club do have some control over this forum. The same thing has happened at several other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu M Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 The club has no control over this forum. It's completely independent and operated as far as I can tell by Ian W of Hornchurch fame. Scare stories of it being controlled by MyFC are just that - scare stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardomon Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 So long as nothing that can be construde as Libelous is posted your fine. Several forums have been closed after complaints. My undertanding is that adding the words "in my opinion" so you're making clear something is an opinion rather than fact covers most eventuality's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that means the club do have some control over this forum. The same thing has happened at several other clubs. Not quite the exact version, but never let the truth get in the way of a good story. I seem to recall that at the time, the club actually threatened to disassociate themselves from these forums, due to certain elements and their actions on here. And yes, it was me who mentioned that fact on here, but it certainly wasn't off my own back. I suppose one could argue that they have attempted it since with the various incarnations of the website, but this one has always been "home". Anyway, doesn't matter now as I intend to stand down as a moderator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
