Bobby Connor Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Making Bebo a mod was probably the wisest thing I ever did. Hazy memory again but I think we started off on the wrong foot with Bebo making some wideboy post. Turns out he’s the next captain of the Hat. Yourself and Hanz need to re-register as sensible cunts if you want a shot at it. Link to comment
Poodler Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Bebo has probably saved my career on occasion. I dunno why he bothers, but I'm glad he does Link to comment

Admin Bebo Posted August 9, 2018 Admin Share Posted August 9, 2018 He volunteered to take it over from Nic Nac wasn't it? It was extremely bitter in the end. @@Bebo saved the site.Nah. NN and Bobby saved the site when it went down and we lacked a backup. I only played a bit part role in that. Was away on holiday and getting texts from posters asking what was going on. I phoned BC, who I think was moving house when it happened, so overall not the best time for forum to disappear. NN had a very old (pre-McGee Era) backup and it's a miracle the site came back. From there the mods contributed to server costs and F&M generously sponsor the site to this day. Running the technical side of the forum has become very easy and passive. I add bits and pieces here and there and I've put a few things in place which means we barely ever have database issues or server downtime. The moderation aspect however has never been so challenging. (@@Poodler @@Bad_Mobby @@The Boofon) Eventually the keys will pass onto someone else. Link to comment
Bobby Connor Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 I had forgotten I was moving house. It was a crazy time but it’s good enough to say that the people who loved the Hat saved it. You are being too modest though. Would not still be going without you. Link to comment

So 29 months of lost posts, topics and registrations. Averaging 15-20k posts per month before then, so half a million posts give or take. Probably more given the posting volume during the McGee era. Defeats always cause more traffic than wins and if McGee did anything, it was drive lots of forum traffic. Link to comment

What I can’t remember is if we restarted on the new server or was it still on the dedicated server when it came back and that was the moment LS lost his credibility? I had just sold the house and was splitting up with the ex so I’ll use the word “Haze” again. So much going on at once. Link to comment

The Boofon Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 My recollection is hazy. Fair to say it was a bitter divorce in the end but LS should be respected for saving the site. I met him in the Rob Roy a few years ago and he said you were an utter bellend obsessed with the Stone Roses. 1 Link to comment

dazzy_deff Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 This shows how far I've come as a poster to not be named in that list. I remember the days I used to have complaints from all sorts, almost weekly, my favourite being Chris Maguire's dulty missus.... I think I still have the report sent against me somewhere, a mod sent it to me. Haha. Cheers @@Bebo I'm proud of new me.I got a message from Maguire himself via a mutual friend about something I posted about him on here. He took major offence about it and the following game was the cupping his ear game against hibs. I like to think it was targeted at me. Link to comment
