Ok, I will answer questions about the framework of the site, but not the adverts as I don't look after that side of things.

The site is built on the same product we started the site on almost 25 years ago, so it is wholly out of date and vast in its size, it was an off the shelf product and we have got a bit stuck with it over the years. I have, as best as possible, massaged the site to keep it alive throughout that period and added custom written functionality, like the like system, the right column of tables and the customised profiles, themes for clubs etc......

I have rewritten the site almost entirely into a more lean and customisable version already, it is about 70% done. As you can imagine writing things like this takes a lot of time, and I work full time as well and am the only tech person on the site who can do any code whatsever.

I am hoping that in the new year we migrate to the new setup, it will look almost exactly like the current one to begin with, then I can mold it into the things we need and hopefully leave the bugs behind or fix them quickly.

But all this takes time and I am pretty short of that.

If the site earned enough money to employ me I would do it all now, but it doesn't come anywhere near and it is a labour of love.

I am always keen to know peoples experiences on the site and its usability, so please send them into me paul@rlfans.com or paul.coward@rlfans.com and we will do our best to fulfill them in the new site version or fix them here.

The adverts do indeed pay for: hosting, domains, security certificates, licenses and insurance. We do also occasionally donate to worthy causes and sponsorships. Without the adverts, or an alternative of equal value, there would sadly be no RLFANS.COM. As we have struggled over the years and put our own money in to keep the site running, the option of no RLFANS.COM is something that we have considered.

If we were to offer a totally 'Ads free' site for a monthly subscription, is this something which would appeal to people? What would be a reasonable monthly charge for such a subscription?

Who cares about the adverts. It literally takes half a second to close the add down. It’s only absolute losers that would complain about a service they don’t pay for

It's a real mystery as to why VT has died on its arris eusa_eh.gif I'd guess the primary reason is nothing to do with ads...

Quote: Leeds_Luke "That seems a weird thing to say.

I wasn't under the impression that the site needed financial support. In fact, I was under the impression that the site had donated four figure sums to charities and through sponsorship on several occasions?

I used to regularly give financial support to the Leeds board when it was SouthStanders.com, but I don't think I've even seen any requests since it was merged with RLfans.'"


It wasn’t “merged”. Rlfans gave it a life line.
