I'm probably now as old as Leazes Mag was back in the day, just far less grumpy! Link to post Share on other sites

Just older , no wiser and one kid that is actually now an adult! Lots has changed over the years, was made redundant 2½ years back and now work for a well known budget hotel chain who have a couple of places in the city - one of which I look after so shall be home from time to time. Oh yeah and I got into coaching youth football... that's a great way of finding new ways to argue with stupid adults parents... Link to post Share on other sites

Rayvin 1,367 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Congrats Ant I sometimes wonder if this place will run until we're all dead, to be picked over by future generations researching long suffering NUFC fans. I still consider myself a newer member and I've been on here 8 fucking years now Wonder how long it'll go. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers 😊 More likely till im dead and my bank account that pays for servers/licencing is empty 😂 Actually was serious about the big upgrade again soon I've been putting it off for ages due to work(fcking brexit) but actually so need to do a full server move/board upgrade in a month or so. It'll be easier than last time since it's my own "solution" in place now rather than what I took over, but still a major bit of work Also need to circulate details of logins and "if I'm hit by a bus" contingancy stuff again tbh most of the guys who got it originally are gone or infrequent now.

But it's unmanaged to keep it at that kinda cost which means if it breaks I fix it or its fucked, touch wood we've been OK for the decade since I took over the techy bit with little unplanned downtime.
