Its down at the moment on the log in page it says something about itll be back on when enough people support it by having a go on the bonus ball. Shame is this is a very good website.

So no radio broadcast this weekend. Shame.

It'll be back on later.

Have you stumped up your quid Dave?

Yes there will be a broadcast this week but other than that it will be switched off.

The problem is that we're a victim of our own success and we now have that many people using LeighLife (and the radio facility) that the server fees have shot through the roof and it all needs to be paid for.

Leighlife has always been entirely funded by the owner until about a year ago when we started up a bonus ball competition which was used to cover the server fees, however, over the last few months more and more people have been dropping out to the point where it's hardly worth running it, so once again it's back to the owner of the site to pay for the privilege of giving up all his spare time to run and maintain the site.

We've been asking people to join in (a pound a week with the chance of winning it back) but apart from a few (thank you Linda), the others seem quite happy to sit back and let others pay for their enjoyment, so quite frankly the owner has had enough and said that unless a few more people join in, LeighLife will be switched off at the weekend.

who is the owner

Pete who does the radio with me is the owner.

I'm going to have to do hoovering and stuff this weekend

And I'm probably going to have to go visiting relatives

Come to the match on Sunday Lucy and leave that hoovering nonsense.

Leythdave could support it with his chilld allowance (x6)

I'm sure that Leythdave will have at least one ball.

Hi all, unfortunately due to circumstances not connected with the above, we won't be able to broadcast tomorrow after all as one of our team is unable to make it to the game because a family health problem.

We're really sorry about this but as it's impossible for someone to be in two places at once, we have no other option but to cancel the broadcast.

No need to have at go at Leythdave.

Why, has he started paying his quid?

I don't think this is the place to talk about who pays and who doesn't because no one is forced to pay, but out of the hundreds who use LeighLife every single day, we just need a few who are willing to put their hand in their pocket and help towards running costs. We have over a million hits every month, in fact most months we have about a million and a half, and it's the best community website by far so you'd think that wasn't too much to ask. (I don't count this one as it's a rugby forum)

Not sure what it's got to do with you who pays and who doesn't anyway Reffy seeing as you're banned.

Yes I know I am banned but still don't know the real reason. When I was a member I paid £2 per week while some of the Members Council couldn't be d so I don't see why the begging bowl doesn't go to the "In Crowd" first. If your own won't pay then why should anyone else?

How many hits have you had today?

We've still had more hits today whilst shut down than yours gets all month.







Can't you remember stealthily setting up your own clone LeighLife website Reffy, like a busy little bee, stealing all our gallery and wiki content? I'd go see a doctor about that if I were you.

[uYour[/u gallery and Wiki, that has got to be the porkie of the year. You will believing your own publicity next.

Just to set the record straight I, in common with most people, would not have a clue how to set up a website. But fortunately some people did and I was invited to join along with a few others who were sick of the dictatorship and petty censorship on Leigh Life.

The gallery and wiki content belong to LeighLife regardless of who put them there and if your lot don't have the imagination and wherewithal to create your own, preferring instead to copy the whole lot, I'd call that stealing.

Dictatorship!! Don't make me laugh, how much more of a dictatorship can you get than having a locked down site with only certain 'agreeable' members invited to join.







You're killing me here Reffy.

Oooh is there another? can I join?

Well actually its MY Gallery and Wiki and yes I did most of the work thank you for asking.

If some others think they deserve some praise, maybe one person does because he contributed more than most but some seem to like to over play the role they played. I don't classify reading the thing and pointing out spelling mistakes as a major contribution to anything.

As for you, you were removed from the site not by me (the dictator) but by the members council, made up of a selection of your peers who were just sick to death of your nasty, argumentative and bullying ways (nice to see some things don't change). Oh and please lets not forget that at least two of your lovely "friends" where included in the seven who voted to expel you. In fact I can dig out the vote results if you like because it was a unanimous vote and I still remember it very well because I laughed my socks off for days.

And they were the ones who put the petty censorship in place which we've now got rid of, your all welcome to each-other because you all deserve each-other and LeighLife has gone from strength to strength now the problems have left. Good riddance to the spiteful and self important.

If you have gone from strength to strength why have you got the begging bowl out.......... and I must applaud your demanding of contributions rather than asking for them.
Spiteful and self important, words that were invented for you. Your ego must be suffering a hell of a shock to find yourself in difficulty particularly as some of your long servers aren't supporting you. The irony of your situation is that most of the members who left (for a multitude of reasons) would have contributed immediately.

Your memory definitely is going Reffy, don't you remember me saying earlier that it's because the site has grown so big?



If you don't believe me you can look at the stats on Monday when it's switched back on (oh sorry you can't because you're banned) but they're there for everyone else to see and you can see that the month you all left (about Jan 2011) the stats shot through the roof and have continued to grow since then.

As I said earlier, we are a victim of our own success.

Good try but you know better than that, this is a matter of principal and nothing more.

I'm not going to allow a small few to contribute while the majority can't be bothered, its not the way I operate and neither will LL.

Your right of course, I am as you say both "Spiteful and self important" and anyone who's met me knows this to be true. Unfortunately for you I never profess to be anything else, whereas some others whom you mention have NOTHING of a personal nature to offer so have to fall back on buying affection.
