Yeah feel for the guy.

RIP Remi Moses

I imagine Martin has got fed up with the abuse he gets. He may deserve a load of grief, people may consider his posts condescending, they could think them worthless as just giving the standard DTB line on issues. But really it is no surprise that in the face of regular abuse, the recipient stops posting.

Candyman, candyman, c...

Just making sure no one says that name for a third time in a row.

TBK isn't banned from here.

The club keep going on about communication but they don’t help themselves by not having online voting at the upcoming AGM, the likelihood is that Discord will be no more in January and where is TBK. has he been banned from here or instructed by the DTB not to honour us with his presence 🙂 it seems like the DT board are closing ranks.

Agree with AIoW that the move to Discord didn't solve a problem that didn't need solving. There's no platform that will get members talking with each in and around different views. Partly because it's highly emotional and partly because we've seen how the DTB approaches open conversation. They don't have the right culture to allow those conversations to come about.

What's that coming over the hill? It's the Kevin Rye award to AFC Wimbledon for "Best online engagement".

Have they outlined the risks that come from not engaging with members?

Timmy I don't think people are getting too excited about the competition but we've seen how teams and players have performed in it previously so to see Sasu score four goals it's a little exciting regardless of who it's against.

I thought Lewis was immense last night. On the few occasions Cardiff looked to turn their pointless possession into a threat, he was there to sort it out.

The risk assessment doesn’t have any major items and there have been no issues on any of those risks since its inception (partly due to heavy moderation, closed membership, etc). The only real rationale for closing it would be a lack of moderator resource.

OI, my take on Discord was that it was hyped to counteract the non-engagement argument they found was happening on Proboards. Surprising enough, despite all the voices saying its the people not engaging is the problem. PB for all it's faults, like this place is a no fuss platform that served a purpose. Nothing new was needed. Discord, was well, to create Discord, no surprises there...

Also OI they want to close down alternative views and become an echo chamber. Echo chambers in business never ever work - you need an alternative view or two to be successful.

OI - about 500 on DS against 900 on PB. Of course they won't admit they are wrong. That would be like behaving as an adult. A Croydon blog came off twitter, since it was 'too toxic', and I suggested they would lose reach, since many of their subscribers viewed via Twitter. Guess what? Their blog views dropped by 90% in days.

I think it is just that Discord has not been the staggering success foretold by some. Has it got close to the number of people registered previously for Proboards yet? Saying it is a reputational risk is just a way of exiting without admitting that it might have been worth listening to a variety of opinions.

I don't think we will get a significant amount of money from this tournament unless we win it or get to the final. Pretty sure it was 20k for winning yesterday but might be wrong.

BTW I have read the DT Risk assessment about an online fora, and I can't see anything to worry about. Everything is listed as low and medium risk. Are they just worrying over nothing? BTW one of the medium risks is really a low one. Is the panic caused by too few people on the DT Board being in business? They have managed to lose two business people from the board, who would have said: 'just get on with it!'.

OTD-Newcastle never won at our place, neither did Sunderland IIRC

Colchester v West Ham is next Tuesday so presumably the draw is after that, WHU are the only u21 side left in

Well done, Dons! How many £££s did we get for winning? When is the draw?Are there any U21s left in the tournament? Last time I looked it was only one - West Ham I think.

I was at A Christmas Carol at The Old Vic last night. I'm afraid it's the closest I've ever come to using the phrase "utter woke nonsense".

Is the Beeb's justification the costs involved or the risk of journos being arrested cos of what happened with the edited video?

I see the Daily Fail are ranting about the BBC covering the World Cup remotely next year, this is the same paper that moans about the cost of sending an army of BBC staff there to cover it every 4 years
