Hi Fellow Pridesters,
We are moving into a new era for The Pride. As you might know I took over as Administrator a few years ago when Moda needed time off to deal with health issues - he is still around and we hope he'll be back soon. I write to announce two things.
Firstly RabbitJ will be taking over from me as administrator (Moda will retain his role and hopefully will return shortly). I will continue to post but will have no role in either moderating or administering the forum. I was born the same day as Manly and Parramatta played their first game so I am getting on in years and my health is also not the best - I was unexpectedly in hospital for five days the week before last but fortunately nothing happened on the Pride that needed attention. Obviously we need someone who can be around all of the time. RabbitJ will be assisted by WB who will continue as a moderator.
Secondly we are moving to new software on a new server.
In this regard, please see the following steps you will need to undertake to set yourself up on the new forum:
- Moving forward, The Pride will now be accessed by visiting the following link: https://prideoftheleague.com/forums/south-sydney-rabbitohs/
- Please navigate to the new URL (which you will utilise moving forward) and click the 'Register' button. Alternatively, you can also click here to register.
- If you register on the new forum with your current username and email address, within 48 hours your post count and registration date from this forum will be migrated across to the new forum. I expect everyone to act honestly in this regard. If any member abuses this process and attempts to take another user's identity, that member will be investigated. If, for whatever reason, you do not have access to the email address you used to create your current account on The Pride, alternative verification methods will be offered - if this is your situation, please use this thread to seek further assistance.
The Pride will continue to be the same community it has always been. The Pride is moving its location to ensure that it can continue to be the best online meeting place for South Sydney fans. The new forum will provide enhanced features, better access on mobile devices and allow The Pride to keep up with the digital world.
I've really enjoyed my few years, standing in for Moda. As you would have noticed I have no particular IT skills (it took me quite a while to work out how to change the news feed) and when we had a problem with the background I couldn't fix it so had to abandon it. Believe it or not I have have enjoyed interacting with you as a moderator. It can be exasperating but dealing with people who are passionate about Souths can only be a good thing. I am not leaving and will be posting with the same enthusiasm (even if I am getting grumpier with old age).
Please give RabbitJ your full support.
Souths forever
Cheers
