Popular Post Frankie 8,570 Posted December 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2020 Since it's the club's AGM today I thought I'd spend a few mins putting together our own wee message to our members this festive season. In particular, due to losing a couple of folk over the last wee while and for another couple of more positive reasons, I'm looking to expand the admin/contributor team over the next few months. For example, it's been a real shame to see the number of match previews drop off and as much as I'm really proud of our podcast output recently, I'm also very keen to retain written articles across the site/forum as much as possible. Thanks to those who have contributed same in recent times (including @Rick Roberts, @Rousseau and @DMAA) it really does help maintain a forum like this when so many people spend time on other social media nowadays. Other stuff like MotM polls, match reviews and player ratings would all be welcome too! Please, please contribute where you can...! Along with improvements to the podcast (if you haven't already, make sure you check out the superb new video format), the main site has been undergoing a redesign over the last few months which I'm hoping to launch early next year. It looks really good and will compliment the pod and forum very nicely. As such, anyone who is interested in web design, graphics or tech generally might want to get involved in that going forward and we're very lucky to have @blueflag who does a brilliant job for us in terms of tech support. We'll also hopefully have some added functionality to all formats over the next year. We already have the odd well-received competition and we'll likely be partnering up with other external organisations to help continue to fund all our activities and software via one or two promotions we think you'll find interesting. One project will benefit both this site and the club directly which you'll know more about next month. To that end, I'm pleased to say the forum software, hosting and podcast platforms have already been funded through 2021 so, whilst Gersnet continues to be a completely free and independent website , I'd politely ask all of our members to try and help that stay the case by not using ad-blockers, clicking through the odd ad and subscribing to/sharing all our platforms where you can. Finally, to the main point of this thread, if you think you have the time and skills to contribute to the site, please give me a shout by PM. Whilst I know writing articles, working on websites, starring on podcasts or producing graphics etc all takes time, any help offered is greatly appreciated and will help keep our site in place for another 20 years and more... May I also take this opportunity to wish all our members a very merry Christmas and all the very best to you and your families for 2021. Thanks to you all for your continued support of our wee site. I hope you all still enjoying using it as much as I do! 21 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMAA 3,658 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Thanks to all for the work that goes on behind the scenes. It wouldn’t be the same without this forum where you know peoples names and the chat and debate is reasoned and sensible. Apart from my contributions. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,724 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Aye, a lot of work goes on behind the scenes and we are all grateful for that, I would love to help out but I'm mainly useless at everything that is required to help ?. Merry Xmas to all gersnetters and a Happy New Year when it comes. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 About a decade or so ago I recognised Gersnet as a refuge from the madness of certain "larger" forums, which I haven't visited since. I'm grateful that someone makes the effort to keep Gersnet what it is. To all of them, thank you. PS how much grovelling would it take to wipe my warning slate clean ? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Just now, Gonzo79 said: There are exceptions to every rule, Bill. Yes but I don't think he's logged in right now. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
