Come on Boro site- has it gone?

[Nosmo-King]

If so, not many tears would be shed on here. The traffic was down to a trickle. And it certainly was controversial.
If it has departed, frankly it contributed massively to its own downfall

Didn't some of them defect to a new board???
I occasionally look in there but as you said, traffic is down to a trickle.

When a board has to delete virtually it’s entire history and remove all but a very few posters you know something is wrong.

Was there any legal action taken for the racism on there? If so, perhaps it’s demise is something to do with that or it could simply be they’ve not remembered to renew their web hosting or such like.

It was up a couple of days ago - Not there today

 

[BoroMart]

Good absolute scumbags on there, I was emailing the clown in charge with a threat of legal action if he didn't remove a vile post. Saves me the hastle of taking legal action I suppose, I'm not the only one that threatened it

It will likely just be a technical issue and back in a few days. It is practically dead now anyway. Just has mad Cooper ranting about this place and Labour to a void

 

[BoroFur]

What will Cooper do with himself now I wonder

 

[Johnny Vincents Motorbike]

it 'went' seasons and seasons ago - when the sun readers who thought they were labour and left joined it.

it soon became Reichskanzlei central.

One or two from there are here now. Bernie and Polite Dwarf post but behave themselves.
It was a perfect example of why decent moderation is needed otherwise failure is inevitable.
Feel a tiny bit sorry for the owner who fell on hard times and was driving a van for a living......... you can'i moderate a message board and drive a van at the same time!

I noticed Cooper acting like a deranged psycho ex over there. Always posting about this board and having a pop at the posters and Rob.

He was trying desperately hard to fit in but most didn’t give him the lickings of a dog. I wonder where he will post his tripe now.

Looks terminal this time. Expect an avalanche of bigots any time soon.

 

[borolad259]

It's back.

 

[BoroBukowski]

It's back.

That will be a relief to the 3 posters left. One is Cooper, two is Rifle

 

[bumface]

Seems to have gone again for me. Just getting 'this site cannot be reached' on my laptop right now.

Looks like the domain name has been sold to a utility supply co.

these are generally holding pages some hosts use to generate cash when a domain is blank. Looking at the whois, goldby still has it registered but looks like it’s lapsed hence the above page

Created 17 years ago almost to the day.

Very sad. Not for the fact that it's gone, but for the fact that it was taken over and used as a platform for racists mysogynists and homophobes for the last decade.
