Sadly after 24 years  fansfocus will be closed down between the end of this season and the start of next Ian cites pressure of work as the main reason.

What will that mean for the ongoing use/future of the forum?

It will no longer exist.

[Irishadrian]

I suppose Ian could be approached by someone with the time and the intelligence to take it over from him  or maybe  another member/members will start a Phoenix forum

I doubt if either will happen.

Maybe a new Slough Town only forum?

Would Reddit be something that the users of this forum would be interested in maybe using as a new home?

I have a Slough Town FC subreddit setup ready for use. It's empty at the moment but was made for a moment such as this in mind I guess.

It's a very easy app to use as well and very accessible for all.

Shame!

Sounds ok in theory as a replacement but unfortunately I know nothing about it or how it would work in practice to give an informed opinion.

Perhaps you could give us a run down on how Reddit works Connor?

It's basically just a hub for forums similar to this website but more of a social media platform and much much bigger in size. Very useful tool for information for anything really. Have a look if you're interested, feel like it would be a readymade solution for finding a new home. Can choose as well to make a Slough Town 'subreddit' more of a members only thing with invites or open it up to anyone.

Reddit is absolutely fine by me as a replacement.

I’ve joined Reddit say Slough town have 6 members

Big thank you to him for doing this up to now - it's given us a safe place to play for a fair old while

Thanks Connor - not that I post too often on here, happy to contribute on Reddit and would suggest we move over ASAP if there is sufficient demand. What's the link to the subreddit?
