Burnley website
 

I have looked at websites for towns other than Accrington. None can hold a candle to Accyweb.

Today I learned that a website previously known as Burnleyweb has changed its name and is now Lancashire-online. Although Burnley-orientated at present, the webmaster hopes to attract material for the forum from across the county and beyond. He is clearly putting a lot of time into the site and deserves praise for this. I am full of admiration for our webmaster and his aides.They have achieved a top site and work hard at keeping it that way.

Re: Burnley website
 

Burnleyweb has been rather run down for years.

And I don't think this is the first time for lancashire-online - ISTR that name from neil there several years ago.

imo giving it a makeover will not get i any more posters.

Re: Burnley website
 

I agree Bob, Burnley Web should be really good but it's very hit and miss

Re: Burnley website
 

It was Lancashire on Line when I first joined in 2007, as you say its gone down over the years it was quite busy when I first joined. Neal who runs the site (and others) has work really hard to make it work, but when nobody use it the games up. It actually shows just what a good product Roy has got here in Accy Web, can't think there is a comparable site anywhere which has over 18000 members and still growing and has as much traffic as it does, think we all owe Roy a big thank you:mosher:

Re: Burnley website
 

Most big towns have similar active forums.

Although I wonder how many of the 18k members actually post? I bet most of them joined because of the footy club.

Re: Burnley website
 

I would also suggest that Accyweb is far more succesful because of the integrated Stanley section.

Re: Burnley website
 

Maybe a factor Dave but I think Accy Web would be very successful in its own right without the Stanley section as there are lots of people who never set foot in that section

Re: Burnley website
 

....and I find it a nuisance
....having to keep doing 'mark forums read' to get rid

Re: Burnley website
 

Add it to your growing 'ignore' list, or start posting on Burnley web, they could do with a dedicated poster like you.:D

Re: Burnley website
 

You like Margaret really don't you Less:rolleyes::D

Re: Burnley website
 

Mmm but stanley section is popular and a major reason for postings & new members also interest - yours truelly joined because of stanley section :mosher:

Many stanley people dont go into main sections becaue of in house snipers & politics and they may feel same about general sections but they dont complain about it:dflam:

Re: Burnley website
 

That is implying I have feelings of some sort for the daft old bat and could cause her some distress.
:)

Re: Burnley website
 

Who's complaining about the Stanley section Ummmmm except Margaret, as you are aware I do pop into the Stanley section Stanleymad, even though I'm not a supporter as such, but love to see them doing well :dancedog:

Re: Burnley website
 

:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rolleyz8:ya have a way with words Less

Re: Burnley website
 

Am I bovvered?:rolleyes:

Re: Burnley website
 

Wouldn't think so Margaret, well it never has before;)

Re: Burnley website
 

I like Margaret would like to be able to log on and get new posts without the ones in the Stanley section.

I'm sure that there are facilities to enable this as I have seen them on other forums - in fact I think it may have been Burnleyweb lol

Re: Burnley website
 

There's just no pleasing some Folk, what do you want for nowt?

Or should Roy pay you for coming on?
:D

Re: Burnley website
 

Margaret would presumably delete the Stanley & sports section and in it's place have the following:

a) Conspiracies for all

b) Latest UFO landings in Accy

c) Ghosts R Us

d) Any other crackpot theory for the mentally deranged for care to mention.

Re: Burnley website
 

Thats a long sentence for one word.... politics :D

Re: Burnley website
 

entwisi posted 4 years ago how to do this.

Todays Posts No Stanley

This one works as well

New Posts No Stanley

Re: Burnley website
 

Unreal.......... theres stuff/ threads etc i aint interested in, i just dont read em, aint difficult.:rolleyes:

Re: Burnley website
 

Less, do all 18000 members pay to come on?
No.

When someone sets up a community forum they do it because they want to.

Thing is, not everybody is interested in football and they don't always want to if the ultras are allowed to wave flags or not.

But just because someone has said they are not interested in reading the Stanley threads you always have to bring up the same old crud about paying to use the site.

Cheers Neil, that link should be useful - it keeps the new posts to a single page & makes skimming through them easier.

Re: Burnley website
 

I bring up the same old crud because ungrateful sods like you find a need to complain about the football section and other things rather than appreciate the site as is.
If you don't like it as it is don't complain, build a perfect one, oh, and you pay for it every month.

Re: Burnley website
 

Think your spot on there Less, Like a lot of people I use Accy Web every day, its like a drug, can't think what I did before I became a member, its even more pertinent now given my lack of mobility, at least I know whats going on in he area. I donate to the upkeep of the site, because its worth it, especially seeing the enjoyment I get out of being a member

Re: Burnley website
 

Less, why do you think that I a ungrateful?

I am not being ungrateful - I just do not have any interest in a game where they kick a ball around a pitch every time. Instead I am interested in the rest of what goes on in Accy because I work here & live close by.

There will be many thousands of other members who are also not here just for the football, are you to be offensive to them too?

Re: Burnley website
 

Why if you have such a thin skin and find my replies offensive do you waste our time, (that's our time, yours and mine not accywebs members collectively, they have their own opinions of both of us), by asking me, stupid questions?:confused:

Re: Burnley website
 

All hail Less, who tries so well to get people to pay to use a local forum setup because Roy wanted to.
(one worth £17k )

Are you by chance his book keeper? keep a record of everyone that has donated do you?
Those that do not get given the treatment eh?

grumpy old men... ;D

Re: Burnley website
 

Its simple stop bitching about summat ya have no interest in, just dont read it.:rolleyes: or is that too difficult?

Re: Burnley website
 

So you would like to know what I am and what I do for AccyWeb?

I am the sites decoy, I keep miseries like you busy while everyone else enjoys the site.
If I didn't shoulder this responsibility you and people like you would have
taken over years ago and AccyWeb would unfortunately be like Burnleyweb
has become, a shadow of it's former self because people with no sense of
humour are allowed to rule the roost.

Get with the program, AccyWeb isn't perfect, Roy & his team of mods welcome
positive criticism but if the best you can do is complain because of the
successful combination of a chat site and football site makes it hard for your
little brain don't complain make a site that suits you.

Re: Burnley website
 

Well said Cashy, he'll be wanting to know what you do for the site next.

Whatever you do don't tell him about the executive washroom you look after for the AccyWeb elite, (he'll turn up and expect to get in).

Re: Burnley website
 

Not difficult at all cashy, first off I never bitched about it - I just agreed with a comment that Margaret had made - how is that bitching?

But because someone has commented that they do not want to read the stanley
stuff y'all have to have a go and start being offensive about it.

Now I'm to be blamed for the demise of Burnleyweb. a website that I have not been on for over 5 years.

Somehow I think it's y'all that need to chill out & stop bitching yourselves.

:p :p

Re: Burnley website
 

Excuse me but when did this promotion happen and why wasn't it put before the general membership instead of some secret clique ?

Re: Burnley website
 

Ah where you not informed? Allow me to make amends next time I'm taking a dump and you haven't got your head in the pot cleaning it!

Re: Burnley website
 

Would that be from a great height Less :rolleyes:

Re: Burnley website
 

To be honest, I'm regretting posting that, I know Lancsdave has a sense of humour but will my critics allow such a thing to pass?

Oh God, even I'm being affected by the how dare you prim and proper brigade, move over Burnleyweb we are about to join you.

Re: Burnley website
 

Well I thought it was funny:D

Re: Burnley website
 

Lads, enough of this. If it isn't about the Burnley website - please don't post on this thread. In Accyweb we have a good thing going. let's not spoil it. Full stop.

Re: Burnley website
 

Well I've no problem with that, I know Neil/Niel has worked hard over the years, and if anything deserves the attention of people from Burnley to take it back to and above what he had at it's peak.

Just like Roy, he has given himself and his resources selflessly to create what aught to be an asset for that Area.
Everyone in Burnley should get behind him and return it to the site that it should be, I know Roy would hate to see it go, like accyweb, it is a pioneer of the Lancashire area and areas beyond.
:)

Re: Burnley website
 

if tellin ya straight me opinion is bitching, n being offensive i feel sorry fer ya, cos ya just obviously dont like it.:rolleyes:

Re: Burnley website
 

It's a shame because there must be thousands of ex Burnley folk all over the World who would enjoy a look

Re: Burnley website
 

I've been on Burnley Web (Lancashire on Line) every day since its relaunch, went on yesterday and clicked on new posts and there had been 5 since I'd previously been on and I think 3 of those were by Neal, it doesn't bode well me thinks

Re: Burnley website
 

Maybe if the Burnley website was written in Urdu then there would be a higher participation rate.

Re: Burnley website
 

That would depend if they have internet access in their secured wards, and prison cells.

Re: Burnley website
 

And done forget the difficulties they'll have typing with 6 fingers:D, oh and by the way wet on last night and there were no new posts since my last visit the previous day:(

Re: Burnley website
 

I think your having difficulty typing this morning!! :p heeheehee :D

I had a look but it didnt seem fast or like there were many on like you have been saying...........may get better!

Re: Burnley website
 

Where did you say you hailed from John? Did you borrow an extra finger just to type the above post?
:confused:

Re: Burnley website
 

Think when Dell rebuilt my laptop they should have give it a new key board ;)

Re: Burnley website
 

Quite a few wannabee comedians on this thread, lets hope we get a funny one soon :)

Re: Burnley website

:D

Re: Burnley website

Re: Burnley website
 

Dont think it is going to take off is it?I also had a look, can you imagine if no-one wrote on here for 2 days??!! :eek:

Re: Burnley website
 

Just been on again the only new posts was from the LT automatic feed, you can't take part if nobody else is bothering

Re: Burnley website
 

Exactly and its not like its not had chance, it had free advertising on here!!! :eek:

Re: Burnley website
 

There would be rumours people have got a life :D

Re: Burnley website
 

One life shared by 18,000 of us?
Or one life each?
:D

Re: Burnley website
 

Or there had been a power cut!!! :D I now enjoy coming on here, fair enough I dont post on everything as I am not a politic kinda woman but I still enjoy reading what opinions others have. I think I have learnt more on here than reading the local paper!!!
Hope Burnley Website starts doing well and then maybe they can feel the love (;)) that we all feel!!! hahahahaha...........:D

Re: Burnley website
 

Oh how I wish those rumours were true dave:rolleyes: maybe I'd be in the research centre instead of sitting here every day;)

Re: Burnley website
 

It would be ace, I would not have to correct all the messed up quotes and sweep out all the bull :rolleyes::D:D

Re: Burnley website
 

Omm nacyie wub ruddish yo dunt knew wot yo tocking abart.

Re: Burnley website

Re: Burnley website

Still working my way round on Accyweb, it's a bit different from rossendale online, When i click on new posts the thread i posted on isnt there :eek:
